I saw the perinatologist today. Nothing really got a firm date put on it. Which makes me a bit twitchy because I really like to know and plan. Her and my OB seem to be lacking in communication together. I’d forgotten the closer/not close enough feeling I had with Bella. The anticipation of a giant…

What I’ll Miss About El Paso
ContinueYes. You read that right. Just don’t tell this crazy chick from 2 years ago. She might throat punch me. As we near the end of our stay here, there are things in nearly 2 years that I’ve grown to love and become used to about this place. I’d have never thought that any part…

Moving Dates!
ContinueIt’s official y’all. We’re headed out to North Carolina (Ft Bragg) in September. Most of you are probably thinking, “Didn’t she tell us this?” But these past 2 months have held some things that put a wrench in the initial plans. The Army wanted Sam to be there by July 10th.

We Are Moving To…
ContinueFinally, after a month of ups and downs, paperwork and lost emails, and the never ending texts to poor Sam, “Any news on our PCS?” (permanent change of station) – finally… I can say with a little more confidence (although nothing is ever certain till you’re there) we are moving to… . . .
{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.
