1st FRG meeting since receciving deployment orders

WoW! that is my first thought. We are so blessed to have a very supportive chain of command when it comes to the FRG! Does anyone have any fundraising suggestions? Our funding is seriously lacking and I feel responsible. Please, suggestions needed! As for the meeting, I feel that it went very well. The agenda got a little messed up, but as for the purpose of the meeting I feel like everyone left knowing that while our husbands are away they have a wonderful organzation here to help (http://www.homefrontonline.com/ ). and they should know I'm here anytime they need me. If you haven't checked out operation homefront and your loved one is deployed. Check it out and find your local chapter.

Finally I get to marry my prince.

WoW! The last few weeks has been full of ups and downs, but today made the roller coaster ride worth it. I LOVE MY LIFE as an army wife and mom!



A while back I received an email from my favorite FRSA asking if we knew anyone that was planning to marry or renew their vows in our company? I responded with James and my name on the list along with a few people in crusader company and my fellow army sister. I never thought in a million year that this email would make one of my dreams come true. As most of you know James and I had a very rushed wedding and got married in complete darkness. I had always dreamed of having a wedding with my family and friends there and I am happy to say my dream came true today. Right now I'm sad that today is over, Sad that the amazing women that i have met on this journey I may never see again. At the same time I'm so Happy that we was blessed with this amazing opportunity! Thank you to everyone that gave me my fairytale wedding. Thank you Thank you to operation homefront!You all really did a great job organizing such a wonderful and stress free day for us brides, THANKS 2 Jennie's for donating a wonderful tux for Keygan to wear. Thank you to Alfred Angelo for giving me my dream gown and an amazing hair piece. Thanks to Heather Clark that helped me dress and took pictures for my family. Thanks to my army family that spent the day with us. Thanks to Erin and Chasity Hobbs at the Rivertown beauty school that gave me an amazing hair do and manicure and pedicure. Thanks to my husband that went above and beyond today by writing his own vows & making me a one of a kind garter. Pics 2 come REAL SOON I PROMISE.



Didn't he do a good job? ------------->



During my time at the beauty school and the rehearsal the day before I got to know a lot of the brides and hear some of their stories and it was really amazing to see those girls that i have spent a lot of time with these last few days walk down the isle and renew their vows with their solider *aka sponsor* We had a house full of princesses today and amazingly everything went smoothly. We was blessed with wonderful brides to share this day with and wonderful weather in the end.

I'm a mom 2 a one year old ...AGAIN

Yes! Can you believe it? Delylah turned ONE on May 5th. Wow! Her personality has just started shinning so bright here lately. Her eyes and her smile can just light up the room. We spent lylah's birthday just having a day about her. We had her favorite breakfast, opened presents early, went to her favorite cousin's, Burt, for some of her favorite corn, and then came home for cake. with close friends and family
