Meet the Family


I'm a stay at home mom, to my wonderful son, and soon to be daughter. And a Marine wife. Both require more patience of me than I think I have. But somehow I get by with the love of my two boys, and soon my daughter. Life is always busy, and there really is never a dull moment.

I have been married to my wonderful husband for two years in November. We didn't date long, less than six months. People will say we rushed...but when you know you know. And I don't feel we rushed. Brian is a Marine, and away more than I like. But its the life I married into, and happily that we will be leaving behind shortly after our upcoming deployment. Its not easy that's for sure, but I wouldn't trade our life for the world. I spend a lot of time missing him, and knowing that no news is good news. But I also know that in a year, maybe a little less, this chapter of our life will be over and we can live a somewhat "normal" life.

Brian and I have a son Shiloh, and a daughter, Kylee. Kylee won't make and appearance into the world until late December or early January, but she is already greatly love. Shiloh is going on 14 months on October 9. He is full of tons of energy and keeps me on my toes since he learned how to walk, and is now trying to run. I love this little boy more than I thought possible. Its hard for me to think back to being sixteen and saying I didn't want kids, because now I know how wrong I was. If Brian and I did only one thing right in our lives, it was having Shiloh, (and even Kylee). Though I will admit, sometimes my patience is tested more than I would like to admit...like now for instance as I see Shiloh getting into something he just go in trouble for getting into not five minutes ago. But its all a learning process, even for me as a first time parent.

I won't be the person to blog everyday, I don't honestly think I have the time for that, with a 14 month old, and my husband about to deploy. But when I do, I hope it will be worth your time. I guess for the most part for now this is a test drive, I used to blog when I was in high school...and I miss it. I miss writing like I used to, and I am trying to get back into it, because I have felt like a little part of who I am has been missing since I quite writing.
