My first day as a blogger

Well today is my first official day as a blogger. Hoping i dont get to rambly because i tend to do that often. I must say this is rather different because im not writing to a specific person...just writing to the world. Well the World Wide Web i suppose. This ill start off with a about me from day 1. Promise i'll cut some stuff out though.

Born in the beautiful month of April :) Grew up in the same town, same house, same family. The last part is to be expected i guess.

(wow this is hard..maybe i should just do bullets with facts...)

okay going to skip years 1-14 because all the normal stuff happened in between there.

At the age of 15 i became pregnant with my babygirl. This was a large obstacle for me and my family but once again proved to me how luck i am to have all those great,supportive, and loving people in my life. On October 15, 2004 i welcomed Alexia Grace into the world. She took a huge part in making me the person i am today.


Being a mommy was tough but there was no other job i wanted. I attended highschool still and the 4 ladies at the daycare became a big set of grammas to my sweet girl. It was such a blessing.

Age 18- high school graduation, speaking at graduation, new hope chest, heading to college, baby number two?!?! Yup that is correct. I was once again blessed and this time with a little boy(although i didnt know that till he came) Alexia was so excited to be a big sister. not so excited about me making her be potty trained before he came. All went smoothly through the pregnancy until delivery time. My little man wasnt breathing very well when he came out but praise the lord everything was okay once he hit earth. So November 15,2006 welcome to the world Jacob Johnnie.


The next year or so carried on as normal. Watching my babies grow and learn was amazing. They were so go with the flow and up for anything especially if it involved being around people.

March-April of 2008- I met the man of my dreams. Okay so it didnt happen like that. I knew Troy for a while and he was a perfect match for me but it took some time for me to see that like everyone else did. I had known him for a while through friends but never really had a solo conversation. I believe the first conversation we had was a lecture about his bike(aka crotchrocket). I said something along the lines of what happens if me and my kids are stranded on the side of the road and need a ride and all you have is this? His response, Ill take you one at a time. Yeah thats not going to work. A few weeks later he shows up with a truck. Now thats a man on a mission. In April we made it "official". I couldnt have made a better choice and so glad he got my number even though i wasnt giving it to him :) He is my best friend, my hero, an amazing man. I love him with my whole heart.


November of '08 Troy decided to join the United States Army and that is where the wild ride began. While he was gone i passed time by planning our WEDDING! What was going to be a small little affair with a few friends and family turned into a much larger shindig. That plays into how amazing my family is. Most of the food was homemade or order from Publix(woot woot). My aunts did all the decorating. It was a big ole family effort and turned out gorgeous. Defiantly one of the best days of my life.




April of 2009- My 21st Birthday. At dinner with family and friends and i get a text from troy reading... Hey baby. Get your pitch fork ready were heading to Kansas yeee haww! And the tears started rolling. I have lived in my mamas house since day 1. Never been away from good ole Bradenton Florida. Although i was scared and nervous i was so ready to start my family and live with my husband. This is the first true lesson i learned as an army wife...You do what you gotta do.

July 2009 We hit the road to Fort Riley, Kansas. These last months have gone by so fast. Got in our first house. Saw snow for the first time. Learned my way around base. Made some great friends. Kids made some friends also. We also learned of Troys nearing deployment in March. Now its down to the wire of just waiting for that phone call saying its time for him to go.

Hope i havent bored you. I promise they wont all be this long :)
