About Me

My photo
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!

Welcome to the world Beautiful angel!

Tuesday May 12, 2009 at 5:06pm (pacific time) we welcomed our sweet little Adah Mae into the world! After what seemed like the longest labor in the world (I won't go into detail)! I was however induced on Monday afternoon. Adah weighed in at 8lbs 6.9oz and 21inches long! She is a big girl for being exactly 1 week early!

Needless to say Josh and I are EXHAUSTED! We got discharged from the hospital today and are enjoying being home but are also very nervous.....it was so comforting in the hospital....Josh learned and did so much for our little girl due to the fact that there were several complications for the little lady and myself...ended with me being on bedrest until last night.

We love her to death and couldn't be more excited! We are so thankful for all the prayers...calls...emails...comments...etc! We can't stop thanking God enough for our little girl!

By popular demand here are a few pictures to share...hope you enjoy! I will have more time to update later since my mom will be getting here tomorrow...thank goodness....Josh and I are pooped!
