So I've been trying to find a way to share pictures and posts of our family, and mainly our son, without having to use Facebook and get caught up in all it's drama. A friend of mine has a wonderful blog that she uses for the same, so I became inspired to start my own. It's going to take a lot of playing around with to get it looking how I want, but I think I am off to a great start!
I imagine that most people who will read this blog will already know a lot about my family, but here's a little background for those who stumble upon it and don't know us ... My husband and I have the typical small town fairytale story. We met in middle school, and the good Lord brought us back together our Senior year of high school. He went off to join the Marine Corps right after we graduated, and my life has been a crazy emotional ride of hard goodbyes, long months of waiting, and picture perfect reunions ever since. I did at year at West Virginia University while he was in California for 9 months, and then we quickly decided that we wanted this love story forever. We were married in 2007 and I moved to Camp Lejeune, NC. I've held down the fort while Evan served a tour in Iraq. And on Christmas day 2009, with my mom by my side and Evan in Afghanistan, I welcomed our first child into the world. Our next chapter will be Quantico, VA, with plans of Evan becoming an officer, me finishing my Bachelors in Communications, and hopefully a house FULL of babies!
Today is Monday, and a typical one in our house. Monday aren't very exciting around here, and are mainly filled with laundry, dishes, diaper changes, and catching up on house cleaning from the weekend before. We did however, have a pretty eventful weekend for once! Friday, Evan had duty and we didn't get to see him at all. But Logan and I were busy packing and getting ready! Saturday we ventured North a few hours and met "Nan-Nan" for some awesome Tanger Outlet Mall shopping where we scored some amazing deals! I walked away with a new pair of shoes and roughly 6 new summer outfits for Logan at around 150 bucks! A successful trip! After that, we met Evan at an ATV park where we camped and finally got to ride the new ATV! I didn't get to do much riding since we had Logan, but it was great to get away from the busyness of Jacksonville and finally do something we all enjoy! We ended the weekend with burgers and hot dogs on the grill with our favorite friends. It was one of the best weekends we've had in awhile and I hope many more are soon to follow!
I hope you enjoy this blog, and I hope a lot of my family will follow it so they watch Logan grow and change. Happy Monday!
I'm so excited you've decided to start a blog! It looks GREAT and I love your first post. Can't wait to hear more about your day to day life... I know it's hard to catch up with everyone all the time and this is definitely a great way to keep those people you don't see every day in the loop. :)
