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!

Few fun wedding pics....just for fun!

Just thought I would post a few wedding pictures that I thought where fun: Ashton(flowergirl and I dancing), my little brother busting a move literally on the floor, Josh and I with the bride cake....me smashing it in his face....he secretly loved it....and the groom cake....! I have a feeling that there is going to be a lot of posts this week! I have to find something to do since Josh isn't here to hang out with me. Hope you all enjoy!





I'm still here.....




Everyone has been asking when I'm going to post again....well....I'm back....! Sorry I let you down by not posting daily. There hasn't been much going on around here. Josh has been working alot and left today! We basically just been hanging out and trying to get ready for him to leave. I decided that since I hadn't gotten my hair cut since the wedding....I might as well go ahead and get it cut....plus I needed it cut after letting it grow out so much for the wedding! Josh didn't want me to cut it too short and I really didn't either but the lady just kept cutting! Soooo....here are some pictures of my new hair do. We will see if I like it when I have to style it by myself! Nothing else exciting has been going on.....Rachel and I hung out and went shopping and to dinner....thats about the most exciting thing so far. I'm pretty boring.....It is getting cold here finally and we are suppose to get a wintery mix....we will see! Hope all you Texas people are having fun in the snow/ice....you can thank me for that....I must have some kind of curse....it snows where I am not.....I come to connecticut for snow and it snows in Texas....go figure! Be safe! I miss ya'll!

Josh is leaving....:(

Well....unfortunately Josh has started back to normal working days......and that means its time for him to go out again! He is leaving for the first time since we have been married! He will be gone for about 2 1/2 weeks!!! I hope I get one of the jobs that I have been interviewing for so that I won't go CRAZY! I even put in to be a substitute teacher in the Groton school district so I will hopefully get that if nothing else! The bad thing about Josh leaving is that our winter is starting up here this coming Wednesday....the day he leaves! Of course.....isn't that how it is suppose to go?!?! The fun part is that the navy wives are throwing me a wedding/welcome to Connecticut shower once the guys leave. That should be exciting! Nothing is really going on here.....other than Josh getting ready to leave. Hope everyone has a safe and fun weekend!

Navy Wife....?

I found this "Navy Wife" saying/whatever you want to call it. I thought it was pretty cool...sweet and neat. Thought I might share:

The Navy Wife
The Navy Wife A Navy Wife is no ordinary woman. Operating for months at a time without the companionship or assistance of her husband, she routinely overcomes challenges that would give the average person a nervous breakdown. Part Doctor, part Teacher and part Handyman, she can lavish loving care on a sick toddler, help a teenager with his Algebra homework, and track down a faulty circuit breaker -- all while holding down a full time job. With thirty minutes notice, she can serve breakfast, lunch, or dinner to fourteen hungry Sailors, and still somehow balance her family's meager grocery budget. She can press a set of dress whites to inspection standards, tie a perfect square knot in a military neckerchief, and pack a seabag in the cold hours before dawn. For months at a time, she must settle for letters instead of kisses, emails in place of hugs, and long-distance phone calls in lieu of her husband's touch. She manages a smile when her Sailor is at sea for the second Anniversary in a row, and accepts the fact that there's a one-in-three chance that he will have to stand Duty on her Birthday. She has learned to stand on a pier and wave goodbye without tears, even when her heart is breaking. To her children, she is Chauffeur, Umpire, Psychologist, Spiritual Advisor, Financial Consultant, part-time Father, Tooth Fairy, Santa Clause, and the Easter Bunny. To her husband, she is Friend, Lover, Partner, Confidant, and Soul-Mate. She is a patriot. She is the sort of citizen that all of us should be, but so few of us are. She lives with sacrifice, because she believes in the rights and ideals that her husband defends. Although she wears no uniform, she is a part of that defense -- a vital link in the chain of Freedom. Although she wears no medals and will reap no glory on the field of battle, she is a hero in the truest sense of the word. She is a Navy Wife.
