About Me

Well, to begin Matt joined the Army in 2004 and we met in July 2004 while he was at AIT in Georgia. We were married in May 2005 and I moved to TN to join Matt to start our lives together. Our precious daughter, Daisy Faith, was born on August 25, 2007. I went back to school and graduated with a degree in Elementary Education. Our second daughter, Madison JoAnn, joined our family on December 8, 2009.

Getting ready for Christmas!
















I forgot to add in that we went to the Opryland Hotel the weekend before Thanksgiving for a marriage retreat with Matt's unit. It was a wonderful weekend! Mama and Daddy came up for the weekend to watch Daisy. They had a ball. When we got back we started decorating for Christmas. Daisy was trying to be very helpful! She's getting so big! We went to her 15 month check-up yesterday and she is now 18 lbs and 29.5 inches tall. She's still a peanut, but growing at her own pace.

Thanksgiving in Maine
















Sorry, I'm just getting around to letting you know about our Thanksgiving, but it's been very busy since we got home. I'm now done with school, for the semester!! Yeah! So, our Thanksgiving was very fun and eventful! We took Daisy up to Maine to see the family. Our trip up there went well, no delayed flights or missed flights. Thanksgiving day was fun and a little relaxing. We stayed at the house while JoAnna cooked all morning, then the rest of the family came over for an early Thanksgiving dinner. Daisy was in a really good mood, even though she went to bed late the night before. On Friday, we skipped going shopping, thank goodness because Daisy had gotten up in the middle of the night with a fever and cough. It was nice though that she slept in the bed with me. It brings back memories from when she was a newborn. Friday night, we had a 90th birthday party for Matt's Grampa. Daisy and I didn't get to stay long though because it was right during her nap time and she was pretty cranky. I hear the party went off without a hitch though! Happy 90th Grampa! On Saturday we stayed around town. That night we went to Mainely Brews and had dinner. It was Jon and Sara's last night there. On Sunday, we got packed and said our good-byes. We stayed in Portland on Sunday night because our flight was leaving at 5:40 on Monday morning. JoAnna stayed with us, but Dennis had to go back to Benton because he had to work early Monday morning. So we wake up ready to go to the airport. We get there, check in, get through security and get to the gate to find out that we had been bumped off our flight....needless to say we were furious!! The next flight they had to Nashville was Tuesday morning at the same time. Also, our luggage was already on the first flight so we had no extra clothes or anything. We went back to Benton for the afternoon because JoAnna had to work and then Tuesday night we did that same thing all over again. So we finally made it back around noon on Tuesday. Besides the traveling part, we had a wonderful time. Now we are looking forward to taking Daisy to Michigan for the first time for Christmas! And hopefully there'll be lots of snow for her to play in. Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and had your fill of turkey and dressing!!
