I am just a girl trying to matter to God, my husband, my kids, family and friends. Sometimes I hop two steps forward and crawl one step back or even have to make a twirl to get back on track. But, I hope to give more than I take and have some fun along the way. Stop by for a couple of dances and cut in when you can.
I met Gregg when I was 17 and have been madly in love with him ever since. He is selfless, works really hard, and will do anything for anyone. He really is “that” nice all the time and he makes me a better person. He loves anything outdoors and runs like Forrest any chance he gets. He makes a mean bbq, dances with the kids to Elmo, and leaves cards for us to find all over the house. He is everything I could have ever dreamed of, and I am so proud to be his wife.
Mr. Christian has bluest eyes and is full of life. He is “all boy” and jumps from one adventure to the next. He loves trains, watermelon, and his blankie. He is polite, kind, and has tons of charisma with his little grin. He is a great big brother and gives in to girls more than they deserve. He is Daddy’s little buddy and the joy of my heart.
Miss Callie is everything I ever dreamed up in a little girl. She is about everything and everybody and never sits still. She loves all things girly, babies, mommy’s cell phone, pink, and her pillow. She has a laugh that starts in her toes and will melt you with her smile. She dances through our house in princess dresses with a pen and pad in her hand. She is mama’s little helper and Daddy’s Sweet Pea.
Cate is the icing on the cake. God knew she would be the perfect compliment to our family. She loves necklaces, animals, and her loveys. She has just enough girly to hang with Callie at her tea parties, but already shows a special bond with her big brother loving his superheros. She is a typical third child getting whatever she wants with those deep dimples of hers.
Gregg and I haven't woken up from the blur that comes along with having kids. The last two years have been the best, most exciting, take our relationship to a deeper level, exhausting, humbling, what we always wanted years. But, we have had to be intentional about stopping and remembering why we are married in the first place, and slow down the ship in the night cycle that seems to take over new parents. So, on Christmas Eve we(I probably did since I usually can't wait to open presents) decided to open our presents. Just the two of us. This year was the first year in a long time that we actually bought each other something or without the other one knowing what it was going to be. We figured it was going to be about the kids in the morning, so we took advantage of the quiet of the night to have our own Christmas. For a moment, it was just the two of us, in love since we were teenagers giddy with anticipation for the other person to open their gifts. I am glad we did it and glad that we can still stop and just be the two of us. Merry Christmas to the love of my life.
He got me photoshop elements and I Snuggie(don't be a Snuggie hater), and I got him this one cup coffee thing that he thinks hung the moon. Both surprises and things we wouldn't have gone and spent the money on ourselves.
