Did anyone see Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland? It was beautiful. I think I was too sleepy to enjoy it properly {being pregnant is hard work}, but I loved they way they artistically translated the story. I’ve been feeling a little like Alice. I was cleaning my closet this week and clothes that fit me […]

    Thank you Stephanie, I can’t wait to meet her baby either! I will send you an e-mail with my pricing menu, thank you so much for asking! {I’ve seen Peyton on your Facebook, she’s ADORABLE! It would be great to see you again!}

Last month brought some amazing discoveries, as well as some difficult news. We found out {finally} that my son Kevin will be having a little brother! I have so many curiosities about this lovely little baby. Will he be a clone of Rocky the way Kevin is? Will he be shy or more outgoing? It’s […]

    First off, I love your new blog! Looks amazing. Second, I am sorry he won’t be here. As you know, I’m 5 months into our 2nd yearlong+ deployment in 2 years, so I know all too well what you’re going through right now. I too envy the strength of other women, but I have to remind myself that I am strong, too, no matter how many times a week (or day) I fall apart. It’s not an easy life we live, and one many people will never understand, but you’re strong in your own way and you’ll make it through! Looks like we’ll both have a great Christmas this year!……..Unless, of course, the Army decides to extend my husband =P

    Andrea,
    I love this post! You’ve got a rough road ahead of you, but I am so happy to see you note all of the things for which you are thankful. It’s good to not focus on just the negative in these types of situations. I too have met and read about some military wives with emotional capabilities I myself will never possess. I know it’s their (the hubbies’) job, and I know they’re fighting for our country, and I know that’s why we love them, but sometimes I would just want a pity party. I mean no married woman should have to be a single parent…for any amount of time! You’ll get through this…and come out stronger for having survived!!
    p.s. I LOVE the ultrasound pic — how cute are those little fingers?!

    Thanks Mandy, so happy for you with your engagement!
    Amy & Kerry, just wanted to thank you so much for your encouraging words! We are really blessed that we’ve had an idea of what to expect and that we have a lot of support. The more time I have to plan, the easier it is on me. I’ll be wrapping up some Fall weddings then he’ll be here soon after. Christmas is definitely going to be a very good time this year!

  • […] Thank you for sharing this experience with me as I revisit such a fantastic workshop! In the final part, I will share how they’ve impacted me personally at this “interesting” season in my life. […]

When my husband was deployed in 2008, I took my younger brother & sister to Chicago for the day. I love being in big cities, but I’m not so great with driving through them. Part of me just wanted to be able to say I was a big girl and drive there by myself. We […]

    Now I need to read the book!! 🙂 Curious. We loved the play, just saw it in SF.

  • Ashley W. - March 24, 2010 - 5:49 pm

    Once again, it is the whole book over movie debate. I was quite surprised as well at the differences. But I did enjoy the play.

My beautiful sister-in-law Suzanne, is having a baby this month and we threw her a baby shower this weekend. It happened to be on the same day as the super anticipated Wicked performance that we have had tickets for since last fall. I was crushed when I realized I wouldn’t be able to make it […]

I’m sure you remember the unforgettable pint sized beauty Nataly, I know I couldn’t wait to see her again! We met at The Greene in Kettering and had a fantastic time playing in the snow. The elusive sunshine even made an appearance, and I was thrilled with being able to incorporate some warmth into their […]
