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!

Tag:

I've been tagged by Elizabeth McGuire. The tag is to let you know a few things about myself:

10 years ago:
I was 15(to the day)....I was a Freshman in High School at Lamar in Arlington, TX and this was also the year that I first started dating the LOVE of my life who is now my husband! CRAZY! I was playing volleyball and softball.....and that's all I really remember right now....I guess I'm getting old!

On my to do list:
-go running
-organize and go through things before we move
-make Izzy her 1year appointment with the vet
-scrapbook
-look up airfare to California for friend and to Texas for me!
-???? I'm sure there is more.....at least blogging is checked off

What would I do if I suddenly became a billionaire?
-Be very Thankful.....
-scream
-pay off my school loans
-buy Josh his dream car
-share with family
-save
-ALOT

Three of my bad habits:
-cracking my knuckles
-procrastination
-obsessively cleaning

Five jobs I've had:-
-babysitting
-Target
-Camden Properties
-Nielsen
-that's all I have

Five things people don't know about me:-
-I'm terrified of Bridges......
-My husband and my brother have the same name
-I love to CLEAN!
-I'm obsessed w/ candles....and anything that has to do with candles


Now I'll tag five people:
-Rachel Calton
-Lindsay Ward
-Becca Williams
-Valerie Muckle
-Christie Frett

Pictures and a quarter of a century!!!!

Well...I turned 25 today....not too exciting....the good thing is that I get a paid day off work on my birthday!!!! Yeah! No work today....but I did have to go in for a CAT scan this morning to try and find out what is causing all the dizziness....the doctors are checking for an Acoustic Neuroma....which is basically a tumor in your ear. I won't know until the doctor contacts me....so I guess we will wait.....I'll keep you posted. Anyways.....on to the brighter side of the day......I don't have much planned....I'm gonna hang out here at the house....Josh is coming home to have lunch with me but then he has to go back into work for a few hours so I will probably get my running in while he is at work. I'm trying to get ready for this crazy half marathon that I am going to run with Lindsay in October...if you wanna know more about the race check out lindsay's blog! Anyway....I decided that since I had the day off I would get some pictures posted on this thing! Hope you all enjoy! Thanks for all the birthday wishes and texts that I have gotten so far! Enjoy the pictures!
