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.

A little update






















So we have had quite a few visitors in the past week. Beth visited for a weekend. Daisy fell in love with her! They were new best friends. AND Daisy pooped on the potty that weekend!! YEAH! We haven't officially started potty training yet, but now that she's done it once hopefully getting her started won't be so hard. JoAnna and Grammy just left Sunday morning. It was really nice to have them here. They babysat Daisy on Thursday night so Matt and I could go to the Regimental Nightstalker formal. We had a great time, although I was pretty tired by the end of the night. We had pictures taken, had a wonderful dinner, and got to hang out with some friends. Also, if you have ever seen Forest Gump or watch CSI:NY then you know Gary Sinise. Well, his band the Lt. Dan Band performed at our formal. When I first saw him before the night even began I couldn't believe my eyes. We had just watched CSI:NY a couple of days before and then there he was standing about 15 feet away from me. We weren't able to get a picture with him or meet him, but he is a pretty awesome guy. A huge supporter of the troops!!! His band was pretty cool as well! While JoAnna and Grammy were here we did some grocery shopping, had a very successful yard sale and went out to eat at Hananoki's. It was a great weekend and we can't wait to get up to Maine in July!
Today is our first official doctor appointment on post. Hopefully we get to hear the heartbeat and find out somemore about this baby. I have been very uncomfortable with this baby from all day nausea to migraines. Not something I was looking forward to. Hoping the doctor can give me something to help me feel better. I can't imagine riding in a car all the way to Maine feeling this way.
Daisy is doing wonderfully. Growing everyday. Yesterday she said "hot pocket" and it was the cutest thing ever. She talks all the time and we just recently got her a little fold-out couch and she lives on it. She does such a good job of keeping herself busy when mommy isn't feeling well. Such a mommy's little helper! Hopefully that continues when the baby gets here.
So right now we are getting geared up for VBS next week. Liz Harrison and I are teaching the 2s again, which Daisy will be in. We have so much stuff to do, but I am looking forward to it! Matt will be going to WLC next week for 14 days and getting back just in time for Father's Day! How convenient! :) Until next time....

Can't believe it's May!!

So it's been 2 months since I last wrote. We have been very busy! I have been trying to finish up school and Matt was getting back into the groove of things. Plans were changed and made and here we are in May!! Well since last time, we made a trip to Wrens to celebrate the resurrection of our Christ with all the family. It was a great trip getting to spend time with my sisters, nieces and parents and other family. Daisy completed 4 egg hunts during this Easter season so next year she'll be a pro. The last week of April I did one week of teaching at Kenwood Elementary school here in Clarksville, which was a very stressful week. On April 23 we got some wonderful news....we found out we are expecting another little Kent baby!! We are so excited to see how Daisy is going to handle this. I think she'll love being a big sister. She loves taking care of her baby dolls and being a little Mommy to them all. That same weekend a guy Matt worked with passed away after a marathon in Nashville. He went up to Montana with 26 other soldiers this past weekend to give him a military service. Matt was a part of the 21 gun salute. It was a reality check on how short life can be. Yesterday was the memorial service here on the compound. his family was here and they were very grateful at how well the guys represented their unit and were grateful for the time they had spent with them in Montana.
So needless to say we have been a busy little family! We are looking forward to the summer when we get to spend lots of time with family and friends. Beth Corey is coming to visit in 2 weeks, then JoAnna and Grammy Smith are coming visit that next week, and then my parents are visiting to babysit for our 4th anniversary. Then in July we will be traveling by car up to Maine with my parents!! Between all the traveling hopefully I can est some. This pregnancy seems to be getting the best of me. Today is my last final and I have my first doctors appointment tomorrow. YIPPEE!!! Will post pictures soon!!
