An Intro from Mom

On May 12, 2007 closed in the privacy of my bathroom I found out I was pregnant. The weight of knowledge that my life (and most likely my body) would never be the same was overwhelming. I was excited and scared all rolled into one (and still am!)

Thacker will do his best to share with you his adventures. Enjoy!

What's in a Name?

Several people have inquired about my name. Here's the scoop. Thacker is my mom's maiden name and Cooper is from John Cooper, a Formula 1 car designer whose design won the Formula 1 World Championship in 1959 and 1960. To the left is a pic of me and my grandparents on the Thacker side, Grandaddy and Granny Linda, and a pic of a Cooper T51 from back in the 50's. You can learn more about Cooper at http://www.johncooper.co.uk/ Here is me getting my first driving lesson in Dad's race car. Gas! Gas! Gas!
