About Me

We are extremely blessed! J and I have been happily married for 4 years and continue to grow and learn more about each other everyday(you would think after knowing each other for over 15 years there wouldn't be anything else to learn)!! Josh is currently a submarine officer in the Navy. We just finished up our shore duty in Monterey, CA and SOAC(dept.head school) in Groton, CT and are now living in Virginia for a short while where Josh is the ENG on the Tennessee. We will be moving to Georgia with in the next year and couldn't be more excited! While Josh is busy on the submarine I am busy raising our two sweet little girls Adah and Michaela! We love being parents and watching our sweet baby girls grow, change, and learn each day! Can't forget about our first "children"...our crazy cats Izzy and Ollie! We have been blessed with the best friends and family in the world. We can't wait to see what God has in store for us in the coming years!

Just Thinking

I have been trying to keep myself busy lately.....it seems like every time Josh leaves(no he is not home yet....and no I can't tell you when he will be so don't ask).....it doesn't matter if it is shorter or longer than the last one.......it always feels like the LONGEST yet! I can't wait to have a few years off of having to say goodbye to him for weeks at a time. I don't really have much to say but decided to post something. I just got done working out with Christie....I have been working out everyday for 3 weeks straight now....which is good.....for me. I have bible study tonight with the Officers Christian Fellowship. We have it every Wednesday night....dinner, music and a bible study......I try to go every week :/ Rachel usually makes me ;) I got to thinking today about Josh and I moving to California and how exciting and sad it is going to be. Not to mention leaving my AMAZING friends here......I don't even want to begin to think about that....but having to find a new church and trying to get involved.....learning a completely different place/side of the US......finding new friends that are at least half as great as the ones I have here. I don't know....just thinking about having to start everything over.....can be exciting.....or not. If anyone knows of any good churches (Baptist preferably) in the Monterey area please let us know.....Another scary thing is that I have to drive w/ Josh from Connecticut to California!!!! Or should I say Josh has to put up with me all the way from Connecticut to California.......!!! Pray for him! It is going to be a long drive....but we will get to see a lot of places on our way and we plan on visiting some of our friends who are in between here and there!.....but did I mention that Josh no only has to deal with me....(just ask him about the the 1.5hr car ride out to my parent's land) but he also has to ride with our TWO cats! Not real sure how that is going to work out. Anyway.....that's all I got for now.....RANDOM....I know.

You sound lonely, know we love you and are always thinking and praying for both you and Josh. Wish you were close enough to hang out with family while Josh is out. I am buying Josh ear plug, you and the cats something to make you sleep or possibly Josh should consider flying you and the cats and then he can enjoy the drive and seeing the county in peace.:) I really think you will do just fine, there will be so much to see and the excitement of a new adventure, plus Josh will be with you and not going out for a long long time.......
We love ya'll

mander, God never gives us more than we can handle. it's obvious to me He's taking you out of your comfort zone and wants you to completely rely on and trust in Him. but you already knew that ;)you and Josh are in and living out His perfect will for your lives! how awesome is that?! :) AND (in old lady singing voice) "how great is our God"?? it's going to be incredible!! keep looking up!

Hi Amanda -You will make great friends in Cali because of who you are and you will be with the other wives. As soon as you find a good church home you will be all set. EPC has a website with all the denominations churches, what about Baptist? I miss you and love you!
