Welcome!!

Hello friends!! Yes, I've officially entered this new blogging world. Been thinking about it for a while, and after enjoying reading some friend's blogs so much (Thanks Loren, Julie and Terri), I finally decided to see how this would go. Now, if know me, you know that I love taking pictures and scrapbooking. But I often take lots of pictures for my scrapbooks, that no one really ever sees (especially those not on facebook). So this could be a great solution, some quick and easy scrapbooking to share!! While also letting me share my faith and Love for Christ with others. We will see!!

So a little about me and my family:


I am 28 years old and I am in LOVE...first and foremost with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He is Lord of our lives and we seek to know and serve Him more each and every day. "But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord." Joshua 24:15

Secondly, I'm in love with my husband, Josh. He is the love of my life and my best friend. We were high school sweet hearts..
And He finally popped the question on Nov 10, 2005....And I said "YES" of course!!!



We were married on Dec 2, 2006 in such a beautiful and spiritual ceremony! Our favorite verse as a couple: "Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful and endures through every circumstance." 1 Corinthians 13:7
And almost 5 years later...here we are!! We don't have any kids YET, but we do have a playful 4 year old little Shih-Tzu named Chloe. She loves to give big, wet kisses and loves to play with her toys and babies...and an occasional dirty sock.... :) And yes, I have to post my fav picture of her. Its a little old, but she still looks pretty much the same...maybe just a little chunkier ;)


Josh and I have absolutely crazy schedules, so I cherish my time with Josh. I work third shift at a local hospital as a nurse on the Labor and Delivery floor. And although it's stressful and has its moments, I LOVE my job. Not only do I get to meet so many people, but I get to be apart of such a special time in their lives.

Josh and I have been blessed with such wonderful family and friends, who mean the world to us and we love dearly...and you will see plenty of them in future posts. But I do have to put one special little girl's picture up on here...Her name is Kylie Grace "Gracie" and she is our niece and goddaughter. We love her so much. And I have to post my fav picture of her too, with Josh!! She is older than this now, but still just as cute!!! And you'll be seeing plenty more of her too!!!


Josh and I have also been blessed with an amazing church family. We teach the College and Career Sunday School Class at TBC, the C&C! And we have an awesome group. This year we have really been focusing on mission work in our community and have had some great outings. Will post that too!!!

We have a lot of big things coming up in our near future. We will hopefully be building our house soon. We have land...now just need the house :) And we are more than ready to fill our new home with lots of little children...(ok so maybe just 2, but it sounded good :) And we know and trust that God's timing for all of this will be perfect. Because we serve an on time God. "He has made everything beautiful in its time..." Ecclesiastes 3:11

So that's a quick overview of our beautiful life together. We look forward to capturing and sharing all of our precious moments with you!!!
