Memorial Day

A holiday that is very close to my heart. Maybe being a Marine wife makes you more patriotic, but I cant imagine who I would owe more thanks to than the men and women of our military. Today makes me so thankful for all that we have because we live in this country. It makes me happy to be an American. I am forever grateful to these brave and honorable people. 

 We are so proud of Our Hero! Sometimes his job may take him far away from us, but we are so blessed to be able to share moments like this with someone so heroic! 

 Thank you for doing what you do Chase and making a sacrifice that only you will ever understand. 
 And a thank you to those who gave all so we can live in this wonderful country. From the bottom of my heart, you will never be forgotten! 
Happy Memorial Day!

Almost Finished

We are at the end of this deployment, FINALLY! It has been a long long long seven months and I am glad it is coming to an end. We leave to go back to Hawaii in just a week. I am filled with emotions. I am beyond excited to have my little family back together, for Chase to be home safe and sound, and to get back to my things. I am a little sad to be leaving. I love this place - its home! I am so blessed to have the opportunity to be surrounded with love and support through this time. I know I could do it alone, but I am so happy I dont have to!

We are busy making homecoming banners, picking out dresses to wear, and counting down the days until he arrives. Ava tells everyone we are going on an airplane to get her Daddy. She is very excited!

This was our last picture together as a family almost 7 months ago.


We are just waiting for him to hurry home and be safe and sound in our little spot in paradise. 

We cant wait for you to be home Daddy. Be safe this last week. We will see you so so so SOOOOOON!!!!!!

Happy Mother's Day!!

I am so thankful that I am the mom to a sweet little girl. Being a mom is a hard job, but I wouldn't trade it for anything in the whole wide world! Ava is so amazing and it is such a blessing to watch her grow. 

Thanks for making me a mom sweet little babe! I love you more than anything in the whole world!!
