Our Story....
I’m a very blessed mother of two amazing children: Brooklyn and Evan. Brooklyn will be five in April, and she has seemed to obtain all the qualities that I wanted her to have and then some. She is independent, imaginative, athletic, energetic, and downright “sassy”. Whether it’s putting her hands on her hips or yelling some made up song throughout the house or store, my parents just smile with joy to know that I have received exactly what I deserve. As for our new little one, Evan, who was born on January 27th, he brings a new kind of excitement to our home. He’s quite the character and represents everything “boy” that I haven’t yet experienced. He hates his diaper changed, getting dressed, and going to long without food, pretty much anything that makes him just a little uncomfortable. He is making his competitive mark in this family with a fight, as well as making his mom feel like a new parent all over again.
I have been very blessed over the years. I married a wonderful man named Greg, who possesses all the good qualities I don’t have. He challenges me everyday to be a better person, he is my best friend. The past few years have been filled with many sacrifices as I was trying to complete the nursing program, and after lots of hard work in June 2008, I finally graduated nursing school and began working as a critical care nurse in the Rogue Valley. Just as we thought of recovering from a life of chaos, my husband was offered a job in Washington, and off we went to embark on a new adventure.
As I look back at all we have accomplished, I’m proud of the sacrifices my family has made to enrich our lives. For now I’m enjoying staying home with the kiddos and treasuring every minute because I know that it won’t last forever. I feel thankful everyday for the family and friends in my life, and this year I look forward to developing new roots in a new town.
The Portland Zoo.
After attending the zoo with the Vetters' and the Gabbards', Brooklyn was very excited to show her father what he had missed while at work. So, we decided to go the the zoo the following week, so Brooklyn could give her daddy the grand tour. It was a beautiful day, about 70degrees, and we arrived at the zoo around eleven. It was packed. After trying to park for 40minutes and two screaming children later, we finally entered the zoo around noon. Brooklyn proceeded to show her dad Africa, the hippos, the elephants, and much more. She was so excited, running from one exhibit to another. The animals weren't as active today, but we enjoyed the day just the same. After a picnic on the grass and a delicious rainbow snow cone, we attempted to make our way home through Portland traffic. It's so nice to have Greg working four ten hour shift. His Fridays off, allow our family the opportunity to have more quality time together. We're looking forward to making more "Friday Fun Day" memories.
