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.
We live in a small(er) town...not too small, not too big. But, we still get the benefits of some small town things. The Dacula Memorial Day Parade is one of them. The Nelson's ran the 5K with Gregg and I ran my own 5K getting 5 kids to the race in the rain. It is the longest parade I have ever been too. They throw tons of candy and all the politicians were out kissing babies.
The kids loved the tractors, the band, and the firetrucks the best.
But, most of all, we got to honor the men and women who have served, died serving, or are currently serving our country. I hope our kids never take it for granted that we live in the best country in the world because of the sacrifice of those in the military. I think being born in a military hospital, being the granddaughter of a Chief Master Sargent, the daughter in law of a drafted Father in law, and going to NGCSU has really helped me understand that it is my right and my duty and my honor to celebrate Memorial Day.
Happy Memorial Day to all the military families. Come Home Soon.
