... scot!

so my daddy went to a scottish highland game festival in north carolina this past weekend. so i thought i'd delve into my scottish heritage (christison is scottish btw).

as i was pondering this, our clan's motto came to my mind: fide et fortitudine. aka fidelity and fortitude. so i thought i'd look these words up to see how im really supposed to be acting (i was suprised)

fidelity: 1
1.loyalty, strict observances to promisesone's country.
2. adherence to fact or detailffactact or detail.
3. accuracy; exactness

fortitude:
mental and emotional strength in facing difficulty, adversity, danger, or temptation


wow! i got a lot of work to do but i really like what im standing for-- loyalty and strength. hopefully i can do both of those things.

or temptation ' courageously

wow...i got a lot of work to do! kind of cool thought huh? so that is my clan's motto!! i better start living up to it!
