From the heart of a mama & wife
Personal blog
Do you ever just sit back & think about how blessed you truly are? Some days, well most days especially so these days, I tear up just thinking about it..
My dreams have never been to be a doctor, lawyer, etc. Money has never been something that drives me. I’ve always dreamed of being a mama, that’s been my one dream. I remember the day like it was yesterday when I told my mama that we were trying for a baby & she told me to be patient and that she prayed every day & night that I would get pregnant.
I’ve dealt with severe asthma since I was around 2.5 years old, many nights spent in the hospitals getting breathing treatments.. With that came, medicine. My asthma was so bad & hard to control that I was put on trial medications just to try to get something to work but with it being a trial, they didn’t know long term effects.. Who knew if it would cause infertility?
Everg single month after we started trying, I took a test, prayerfully & hopeful I’d get a positive & each month it was negative, it broke my heart a little more. I didn’t know if I could actually get pregnant. I remember talking to my mama about it, just like I do everything else in life. Her response was “Baby quit worrying & stressing about it, it will happen when you least expect it.”
Fast forward what seemed like 6 years but was only 6 months, we got a positive test. I had a perfect pregnancy with zero complications. L&D was great. The 6 months of what felt like torture was SO worth the reward at the end.
It’s amazing how you love your child. I never imagined I could love like this.. I never imagined I’d be so attached & NEVER want her away from me. Motherhood is weird. You want time away but then when you’re away, you miss them so much it hurts..
Being magnolia’s mama has been a dream come true for me.

My husband is one of those guys who works his tail off. He never ever gives up. He’s always determined to do more no matter what. He is never satisfied, ever & not in a bad way. He’s just one of those people that strive to be on a national level racing. He doesn’t want to be the local hero & he knows what it takes to get to that level. This man will do everything in his power to achieve every dream of his, not only for his satisfaction but for our future. I’m so proud he’s my husband. He makes me proud. In these videos, you will find some cursing, I apologize in advance. When you are as passionate about something as we are racing, that’s just something that comes along with it. Sometimes I say things before I think & then kick myself in the butt afterwards.. so, sorry about those. BUT; I hope you will enjoy our video. Feel free to share.

“When all of this is said and done, I personally will do my very best to not take things for granted.. To appreciate everything.. To not judge anyone.. Because at the end of the day, that lady standing next to you at the grocery store that looks like she hasn’t brushed her hair or even bathed in 2 weeks, may be the same lady that has worked 2 weeks straight at the local hospital savings lives & doing nothing but working & going home to sleep. We need to have more of a servant heart, like Jesus. We need to be those people that offer help when someone is down on their luck.. or give $5 to the homeless man on the corner.. He may not truly be homeless, he may be one of those that stand there like that just to get money.. but you know what, at the end of the day you can lay your head on your pillow & sleep soundly knowing you did the right thing, wether he uses it right is his conscience, not yours… I want to do more for others.. I want to be there more for others.. Tomorrow, you could loose every single thing that means something to you.. would you want someone to help you? I know I sure would. That’s the heart we’ve got to have..” a small bit from my blog ❤️ Happy Easter!
As The Dust Settles… The world is crazy right now. CRAZY! & I’m not even sure if that describe it well enough.. Everyone is panicking, freaking out.. panic buying.. hoarding.. all of social media is nothing but neg…
"It has been a great two weeks. Sure, i’m ready for things to get back to normal. I’m more than ready to get back to racing. But man, oh man, has it been nice to just sit back and enjoy the most important things lately."
All The Extra Love, I’m A Fan Of. So many people are going crazy being locked in the house with nothing to do. I guess we are just different. Sometimes, I feel like we just need to slow down and appreciate the things and people aro…

Welcome to my new blog page! My name is Dallas Berry. I'm the wife of a dirt racer. Most of my blogs will be about being a racer's wife (Clearly, the title). I will sometimes, however, post about things over than that especially in the off season. Feel free to share as well as give me some feedback. I've always LOVED writing so i'm super excited to start my own blog.
It is all God’s divine plan! Man, are we blessed? Sitting in the waiting room of the hospital patiently waiting on Brad to come out of his small procedure that is just routine for his medical conditions that he has, I’m listen…
Only one person in this world could love him more than me & that’s God himself. Because one thing that’s always for sure is my husband takes care of his lady. I told brad yesterday that I needed to go see my family today, they live about an hour from me so I don’t get to…
****Not mine but a good read about being a racers wife!****
Dating or being married to a dirt racer......
• If he tells you he didn’t answer your phone call because he was in the shop working on the car, he was in the shop working on the car.
•If he’s on his phone while you two are together, he’s probably watching racing videos. Don’t get upset, he gets really excited when last night’s WoO replay gets uploaded.
• He probably can’t go to that concert that starts at 7pm next Saturday, unless it’s winter and there’s no work to be done on the racecar.
• He's on a first name basis with the FedEx and UPS man.
• He knows a lot of people. And they will become part of your family.
• All of his money will be spent on parts.
• He will tell you who people are by the car they drive...”he drives the white number 67”
• He is extremely competitive. Wanna go ride go karts? Prepare for some pre-race smack talk & you’re probably gonna get fed a RR.
• He might introduce you as his “crew chief” instead of his girlfriend. Trust me....this is a compliment.
• You don’t “Netflix & chill”, you YouTube DirtVision.
• Instead of your picture in his wallet, he has a victory lane photo of his entire racing family.
• He goes postal when he has to sit in a traffic jam for more than five minutes, but when the stock car feature runs long he can spend five years in the staging lanes after he’s ratcheted his belts tight.
• He will save broken car parts as trophies. You’ll see bent sprint car wing panels and late model door panels on his shop wall constantly.
• He will spend $250 for a single RR, but won't spend more than $150 for all four new tires on his daily driver.
• He might not remember your birthday, but he knows exactly where he finished for every race he’s ever been to.
• You will become a 24/7 crew member, to “hold this”, “hand me that”, “measure the stagger”, “put my helmet on the fan.”
• His wardrobe consists of shirts and hoodies from literally every other driver in existence. He thinks it’s cute when you wear them.
• You will get mud in your hair and dirt in your eyes, but it’s okay because so will everyone else.
• Dressing up to him up means putting on clean jeans & a t-shirt without grease stains.
• Learn how to back him onto the trailer....this could make or break your relationship.
• And the best part....He will love you more than anyone could!
❤️ Dirt racers are some of the most caring, loyal and compassionate people in the world. Support him, be his #1 fan....if you’re lucky enough to have a dirt racing man don’t let him go!

About the author & my why.
My name is Dallas Berry, 25, from a small town in Alabama. I’m married to the love of my life, Brad Berry. Brad is my why. I wanted to start a personal blog to just to be able to express my life as a racer’s wife, to tell all of the struggles and all of the wins. Being a racer’s wife can be a struggle but is also a huge reward to me. I have always LOVED writing so I felt this would be a perfect idea for me. My blogs will mostly be about being a racer’s wife but I will also have some about our general day to day life. Thanks for taking the time to learn about my page! Talk soon!
