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!

My husband true Love....





I said I would post pictures tomorrow of the soccer game we went to of the LA Galaxy vs San Jose Earthquakes.....I got a little eager or better yet bored and decided to post a few a tell you a little bit about the game.  

Josh of course was SO excited!  He was like a little kid...he had so much fun and was so busy taking pictures of everyone and everything.  He took well over 200 pictures....I know 200 may not sound like a lot but we are talking about a soccer game here....not too what most would consider a great photo op.....unless you know someone playing that is.  

I was greatly disappointed when we got there and found out that Beckham was still on loan to Milan.....bummer!  We did get to watch Landon Donovan play....he is the all time leading scorer for the US National Soccer team.....I guess he is somewhat of a big deal....I wouldn't have know if it weren't for my husband and my brother Justin.....but evidently he is not that "cool" of a person.

This is the best picture I have of Donovan......he is the one in the front running toward the sideline.

The best part of the game was the DB wanna be/ look a like getting kicked in the face w/ cleats!  I know that sounds mean of me but Josh by chance got the whole thing in sequence so we had fun watching it over and over again up close....kinda like a cool/crazy/funny youtube video.  For the record the dude was fine...just a little blood....it happening was way more exciting...he didn't even sit out...he kept playing.

This is the Beckham wanna be getting kicked in the face.....for the record it's not funny he got kicked but more funny that Josh got it happening in slow motion.....

The worst part about the game was that they let it end in a tie!!!!  Who ends in a tie!?!?!?!  No winner....no loser!  Thats just ridiculous.....Josh tried to explain it to us and give us the details on how they give points for wins, ties, and loses....but me, Amanda, and Rob thought it was just crazy so we didn't pay much attention.

All together we had a great time of hanging out ...... watching Josh get so excited...... and experiencing an MLS game.....well...it was me, Rob and Amanda's first at least.

Mommy/Baby update.....no pictures this time...

Just wanted to give you all an update on the baby and myself.  I had another appointment today and we found out some good and some bad news.

I'll start with the good:  our little lady decided that she loved her mommy and decided to turn head down into the go position!  YEAH.....

The bad:  As most of you know I have had a lot of swelling and have even been restricted in the things that I am able to do.  The past few days/weeks I have been having some headaches and even seeing "stars".  I had my blood pressure taken last night and it was high....so when I went to the doctor today I told him about it....and when they took my blood pressure there it was high again....so they did a urine test and I had protein in my urine....all leading to a diagnosis of pregnancy induced hypertension ( more commonly known as Preeclampsia).  He was really concerned about the baby so he did a sonogram today and she looked great...lungs, kidneys, heart all working well and she definitely not being hindered in the growth department....!  The doctor sent me for 3 different blood tests today and I have to do a 24hr. urine analysis and I go back to the doctor on Friday to get the results and to have my blood pressure checked and checked to see if my cervix has thinned.....my doctor seemed to be pretty sure that if it had started to thin than he was going to take the baby this weekend or early next week!  

This has turned into such a crazy week for us.  We are so excited to meet our little one but so scared and nervous at the same time being thrown into all the "extra" stuff.

I will be sure to keep you posted on what we find out on Friday.  Thanks ahead of time for your prayers.

I'll try and put some pictures up tomorrow of our soccer adventure....since I'm not allowed to do ANYTHING now.

My husband is one lucky man....

If any of you know Josh you know that he loves soccer!  We have been talking for a long time....or at least since we moved here about making a trip down to LA one weekend to watch a LA Galaxy game....MLS(major league soccer) game for those who don't know.  I was playing around online today and realized that San Jose has a MLS team and that they happened to be playing the LA Galaxy tomorrow night....what do you know!  So I went to the San Jose Earthquakes website and they were having a special/promotion for 4 tickets and a post-game fireworks show for $50!  So being the good wife that I am....I got the tickets and me, Josh, Amanda and Rob are heading to San Jose...or Oakland rather.....to watch a MLS game!  

 
                                                                               VS.


Amanda and I are just really hoping to see this(ha ha):  


Hopefully David Beckham will be playing tomorrow!
