Part 2: True Love

Part 2: True Love - I knew that Dean was my true love after only about 3months. I knew that he was the man that God created to be my husband. I knew that he would always love me and take care of me no matter what, but I'm not sure if I really knew/understood what all that looked like, until now. After almost 3 years of marriage and the first trimester of our first pregnancy - I can say w/o a doubt that I married the best husband, most caring individual, compassionate, sincere, thoughtful, talented and organized man! Dean has been a blessing in so many ways...yes, he's done all the laundry, cooking, cleaning (and our house is for sale mind you) since Christmas and rubbed my shoulders a thousand times to make my headaches go away, but its the manner in which he does all these day-to-day tasks that makes him stand apart. Smiling, Cheerful, Eager to help...and it's not that I'm surprised by all this, but just more aware of the grace and love between us! I love you Dean!

And of course I chose this cute picture of my hubby!! He surprised me at work before heading off to his squadron's Dinning In (still not exactly sure the point of a 'dinning in' or what goes on there). And no, the navy is not changing its uniform, just a fun little twist the JO's added to the event!

Part 1: Some Snow

Part 1: Well, it finally snowed in Norfolk...more than a dusting at least. It really was a beautiful sight (from indoors that is) with the thin sheet of white powder covering the ground. We were able to take some pictures before work! Enjoy!

Our house
Patio & snow

The Camilla Trees looked so beautiful with the snow, but I think I moved when I snapped the pic ;)

Gabby loves the cold weather, unlike her mommy

I guess laying the camera on a patch of snow doesn't make for a straight picture

Our Valentine Surprise

So, if you can't tell from the picture our Valentine Surprise is that we are expecting a baby!! Our little 'peanut' picture was taken on Tuesday, February 10th - I can't tell you how awesome it was to see the little baby move all around. Dean was able to make the appointment with me (by the grace of God) which made it all the more special. After the appointment Dean dropped me off at work to finish making Valentine Day cards for our family. I came up with the idea of telling our family the news by way of Valentine card. Sometimes I wish Dean would stop all my crazy creative ideas, but I insisted on this being our families 'Valentine Surprise.' Any who, I finished making the cards, ran to the post office, mailed the cards and when I got back to my desk wished that I had just overnighted them all - how was I supposed to wait 3-4 days for them to open the cards???? I mean really??? We had been keeping it a secret since before Christmas so it already seemed like an eternity. Slowly, but surely each person opened their card and found out the news. By Saturday morning both immediate families knew and we were ready to share the news with everyone.

Our new addition is set to arrive around the 1st of September and we couldn't be more thrilled!

Thanks for sharing in our excitement!

Crown Moulding

House updates...We started off the New Year with a few house projects! Dean was itching to go to Home Depot and learn new crafts...so, crown moulding it was!! It looks awesome and it only took a long weekend to complete 2 rooms and a bathroom. I have to admit that the only help I was to the whole project was painting. Enjoy the pictures below....they really don't do it justice, but at least you can get a glimpse of what a great job Dean did.

so smooth

Mountain Pictures

On Saturday we hiked up to Max Patch, a point on the AT, with Scott and some of his friends. We stopped to take this pic along the way...and take a short rest before we got to the top.

At the top...Max Patch

Taking a walk down to the new road to see our lot & Scott's lot - the road is so nice and the area above is a great little place to throw a football around.

Zoe liked Gabby's bed....

...And Gabby liked Zoe's bed????

She was fun to hold

Puppy Zoe is very tired after a long day of keeping up with Gabby

Christmas in Knoxville

D.B. & Scott moving a HUGE tree branch that was blocking the drive on Christmas Day. I was in the car with Momma Anne taking the pictures! ;)

Christmas Day


I wanted to share several pictures of our time in Knoxville/NC over Christmas holidays. We had a great time visiting the Farmer family and Gabby enjoyed meeting her new little friend Zoe.
