This past weekend, I had to travel to Atlanta on “business” and was so stoked to have my WHOLE family with me. After we got to our hotel room we trekked up to Peachtree Center to take the kids on “the escalator” because I loved riding it as a teen probably a lot more fun … Continue reading
Expectations of Deployment
Now that we’ve had our homecoming, a huge weight is lifted and we can reflect on the past number of months. In the beginning of deployment, I, along with the other gals of hearts apart, made a “dream board” based on what we wanted to accomplish during the deployment. My board was as follows: … Continue reading
we are restricted to weekends.
So you may have noticed, I am getting behind on posts. Obviously school has started and is taking its toll on our free spirits. Between my sons school schedule and the new policy about missing days, it’s hard for us to take off, we are limited to weekends which I now use for things that … Continue reading
Monterey to Morro Bay
This is a road trip so nice, I’ve done it twice. The first time was about 6 months after we moved to California a few years ago when my mom came to visit, then again for my 23rd birthday with a sister from the church. The first time we took this trip. It was My … Continue reading
First House Party

Trashing the Dress
I had wanted to trash the dress pretty much since before I got married. They say all little girls dream of their wedding day, well I never did and I never planned on getting married and then when I finally came around to the idea of marriage, no doubt because of my surrounding, I had … Continue reading
Home sweet home
I am really kicking myslef for not taking more pictures over the past weekend. I now live about eight hours from where I grew up, had my first job, met my husband, had my son, and got married. Many of my best friends still live in this once small town now growing into a nice … Continue reading
Maternity Modeling in Monterey
These photos are from two September’s ago. I didn’t want ordinary maternity photos. Not that there is anything wrong with them. I love looking at them but I wanted something that was…. me. I put a posting on modelmayhem and found a photographer who was willing to attempt what I had in mind. I had seen … Continue reading
