{About Me}

Sam and I have been married since I was 19. He was 20. He's an OIF, medically retired veteran of the Army and Marines. We have 5 children - Bella was born in 2009 after a rather bumpy pregnancy and her first year was mostly crazy reflux. Preston and Julian, my identical twins, were born at 20 weeks in 2012 and lived only a few hours. Kaden was born full term in 2013 seemingly perfect, and at 4 days old he was found to have cardiomyopathy due to ciHHV-6. He passed away at 3 weeks old. Charlotte was born in 2015, and was a complete surprise to us. Each of them have changed our lives completely.
Currently I'm in school to become a counselor who focuses on trauma and grief.
I love Jesus - even though sometimes I get really angry and upset at the way our life has gone. I hope through my faults, insecurities, snarkiness, selfish nature, and general mess - my love for Christ and His work in my life shines through in my story.

I’ve taken quite a few pics like this myself and I do not have a year round tan. In fact, I’m lucky to even have one in summer. Time to start saving for a pool!

I’m sorry. Moving sucks.
You will most certainly have earned the right to a massive ice cream cone when all is said and done!

Haha, but it’s a dry heat. It is.
(For the record? That makes a difference when it’s, like, 80. But 100? Is hot.)
