9 years ago this week I started dating Matthew. We met while I was working and he was taking a lunch break. It wasn't a setup, we weren't at a bar or looking for anyone. He saw me and I saw him. He kept coming in for lunch and I obviously kept working each day. After a few times I actively tried to get him sit him in my section. He asked for my phone number eventually after some prompting from the other recruiters he worked with. He called me and we instantly hit it off. I started to text him and he called me since he was driving. We talked on the phone for over 5 hours straight before our first date. I felt an instant connection and just wanted to know him more and more. We went to IHOP at 3 am after talking on the phone and talked more there. Our first date was supposed to be that Saturday, but we had an impromptu first date instead. We dated for 18 months before we got married. We did have our ups and downs and I think that it definitely helped prepare us for marriage because we got a lot of issues out of the way before we decided to be together "forever".
I still feel to this day that we were meant to be. He is my best friend and I can't imagine what I would do without him in my life. I know that sometimes I drive him crazy and he does the same to me too for sure, but marriage isn't about always being happy or right, or getting what you want all of the time. Marriage is a wonderful thing, but that doesn't mean that it isn't hard at times. I see a lot of people comparing their marriages with others, but we never know exactly how others' marriages are and I think that that can only help us lose sight on our own marriages.

6 years
Today marks the 6 year anniversary of our arrival in Fayetteville, NC. We have experienced a lot and quite a few things have changed since 2009! Here is a quick top ten list of the things that have changed since moving to the NC.
10. Levi wasn't even 1 before we moved here so pretty much every major milestone for him (walking, talking, birthdays, school, etc.) has happened here.
9. Bruce started Kindergarten here and he is now in his last year of elementary school aka 5th grade!
8. Matt was an E6 when we moved here and he has just hit his 3 year mark as an E7.
7. I have been a part of a PTO, FRG leader, nursery supervisor, sparks director and more. In other words, I have volunteered a whole bunch since NC welcomed us!
6. Matt and I had both had our tonsils out prior to coming here (I was 7 and he was an adult) but now we have had a combined total of 9 surgeries in 6 years. One of those was also my first blood transfusion, not that I am proud of that, but it was something pretty major that happened.
5. Matt was on GRF (global readiness force) and actual deployed while on it. He went to Haiti 36 hours after the earthquake in January 2010 and spent 6 weeks there. I also believe that that might have been the longest he has ever gone without showering too.
4. We have traveled to IA, AR or MO 4 times in 6 years, which isn't a lot, but they are over 20 hour trips one way.
3. The boys and I all got to see the ocean for the first time (and 2nd, 3rd and 4th). We have also vacationed in the mountains multiple times (5ish hours away) and Great Wolf Lodge!
2. Matt and I ran our first half marathons 1 year ago. I have since ran my first 10k race and my second half marathon.
1. We have spent a lot of the 6 years apart. Whether it was Haiti, Iraq, schools for Matt or training we have, as a family, had a lot of absence makes the heart grow fonder moments.
BONUS- We have been visited by grandparents, parents, aunts, an uncle and cousins since living here and also one of my very best and oldest friends (Leslie).
I could probably name 50, 100 or even more things that have changed or we have experienced, but those are the top ones that are in my head! I cannot beleive that when we arrived here 6 years ago we thought we would be lucky to make it to the 3 year mark and here we are way beyond that and there are no plans in sight to leave. We actually don't mind it here and we have found a lot of amazing friends/family and an absolutely wonderful church here as well. Here is to the next however many years we have here!

Love
My story is a little different than a lot of others and also similar to a lot of others as well. If you know me personally you know the key details, the things that make me who I am! My whole life changed for the first time 11 years ago and again 9 years ago. 11 years ago I was pregnant with my first born child. I was 18 years old and I had just graduated HS in May. I didn't have a drivers license nor did I have a job. I was living away from my mom for the first time and I had just made my, I think, 7th move in 3 months. Since I was 5 I had lived in the same house and the same place, but once I got pregnant things changed. Fast forward to January 27, 2005 and my first baby boy was born. He was 7 lbs 15 oz and he was the most precious thing. I turned 19 almost 6 weeks later and although I was a teen mother, I had graduated and was living on my own (so to speak). In March, a few weeks after my birthday my baby boy had to have an emergency surgery. He was 7 weeks old and it was St. Patrick's Day. He had Pyloric Stenosis and after 2 weeks of him losing weight and projectile vomiting somebody finally believed me enough to do tests and get him fixed up. He was completely fine after his surgery and has been healthy since, but I started motherhood as a young mother already and then I was scared on top of it.
July 2005 I moved again and I was blessed enough to have an aunt that let me live with her to get out of a tough situation. I started working at subway in November and shortly after I finally got my license. I was 20 years old with a 1 year old and I could finally support myself and drive. I met my best friend while working at subway and although I had gotten myself back into a tough situation she helped me get out of it once and for all. I finally got to live completely on my own with my son and we started to make a life for ourselves. I got a job at Ryan's buffet and grill on July 4th 2006 and that was one of the best things I did. The job opened my eyes to new things and I finally met the man of my dreams. I was his server. He came in to eat a lot, and we finally caught each others attention. After some weeks he finally asked for my phone number and we started dating shortly there after.
That was almost 9 years ago. I had a son who was 20+ months old at the time and Matt came into both of our lives in the exact perfect moment. We dated until March 2008 when he had my son (who was already calling him dad all on his own) ask me to marry him! We had a very short engagement of about 7 weeks before we got married on May 17, 2008. We got pregnant right around May 20, 2008 and our second son came barreling into this world on February 2009. In September 2009 Matt adopted our first born son and made him officially his, although there was no doubt that he was his long before that! In October 2009 (almost 6 years ago) we moved here to NC, expecting to live here for a few years. We have endured many things in our 9 years together, but the best thing has been how we have grown together and how my journey has brought me to where I am now. I never would have expected to be so loved and where I am today with my 2 amazing sons and my incredibly loving husband! I prayed and prayed so much when I was pregnant, 19 with a baby, 20 and living all on my own and every tough situation that happened to me. I know that God answered my prayers and although it wasn't quick for me it was in His perfect timing and I can see the amazingness that has come from that!

"Fitting in" and being a Christian
There is this song that I heard while I was running. It goes something like, "I wish that I could be like the cool kids, cause all the cool kids they seem to fit in. I wish that I could be like the cool kids, like the cool kids."
It goes on to say that the girl doesn't walk the straight line and the cool kids do, or something like that. It was funny that I heard that on a day that I was thinking about what it meant to be like everybody else. I have always been a friendly person and can talk to just about anyone. To me there is always a difference between being friendly to people and others thinking of you as a friend. Sometimes I feel that I don't have very many friends and it makes me want to "fit in" with those who do. In reality, I should not want to fit in and I should be happy that I don't. I have always been the kind of person that marches to the beat of my own drum so to speak. I say random things at random times, think random thoughts at random times and I am pretty much random. I don't support the social issues that are popular to support. I spew words out of my mouth that don't always make sense to others. I don't care for the beach. I am a Christian who chooses not to drink and I wear modest clothing. I could go on and on about what I do and don't do, how I think and what I like, but I won't. My point is this... why do we want to fit in? Especially if we are Christians.
I have been out of high school for 11 years now and cliques and fitting in are still issues. They may not be the jocks, cheerleaders, band nerds, drama and debate kids and so on, but they are still there and very apparent if you look around.
We shouldn't look like the rest of the world. The world does not like God's word. We can't live in rebellion like the world does. I do fit in with the body of Christ, even though we are all different. We should stop caring about how others see us and care about how God sees us. He loves us. We should love one another and share in each other's joy, sadness, fear and everything as a church family.
2 Corinthians 6:14 Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?
John 15:19 If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.
Luke 6:26 Woe to you, when all people speak well of you, for so their fathers did to the false prophets.
James 4:4 You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
To end this I will just say that my family loves God! We pray before we eat, in public or at home, it doesn't matter! I pray that my fellow Christian friends can be their own person too and not fit in with the world! We shouldn't want to "be like the cool kids". And in my opinion, we are the cool kids anyway!
God Bless!

January 26 and January 27
Today is Bruce's last day of being 9 years old...
Tomorrow he will be 10 years old and I am pretty sure I will officially feel old!
Here are some Bruce facts!
-4th grade
-A/B Honor Roll student
-Great Reader
-Can shoot a bow, throw a football and throw punches... and he does them all pretty well!
-He is friendly and doesn't know a stranger
-He went from getting in trouble everyday at school because of his attention span and talking to behaving everyday!
-Bruce has started to do laundry and other chores to help around the house more
I could probably write for days at least to name all of the things that Bruce does and accomplishes, but I won't do that! I remember January 27 every year since 2005.
2005- Bruce was born after 13 hours of labor
2006- 1st birthday party, and he started walking shortly after
2007- 2nd birthday party at Ryan's and he started sleeping in a big boy bed!
2008- 3rd birthday, no party, just Matt, me and Bruce at Chuck-E-Cheese!
2009- 4th birthday party and I was due with Levi in 2 weeks (and now they have birthdays exactly 4 years and 2 weeks apart).
2010- 5th birthday, Matt was in Haiti, Poppi and Lolli came for their first visit to NC and the first birthday that we celebrated in NC.
2011- 6th birthday, he got money and started the Red Robin birthday tradition and themed birthday parties! We had a Cars party this year (and it was a joint party with Levi).
2012- 7th birthday and we celebrated with a dinosaur themed party Arkansas! Actually, 2 dino themed parties, 1 in AR and 1 in NC. We also did bowling and Red Robin!
2013- 8th birthday and we had a superhero party in Missouri and Red Robin before we traveled.
2014- 9th birthday, superhero party again, but in NC. Red robin on his birthday! And he prayed for snow for his birthday and got it! 2 weeks later Levi prayed for snow for his birthday and we got it then too!
2015- The first year since 2010 that we won't have a party, but I have other plans! :)
I was 18 when Bruce was born and I wouldn't recommend that to anybody, I would say to wait until marriage, however, in my situation that has already happened, I do not regret it for one minute! Having Bruce helped me to grow as a person, a Christian and become a great mother for him and eventually Levi. Bruce has always been the person to keep me on my toes, and his attention issues that we have dealt with this year has been no exception! I am so glad that I am his momma and he is our first born!
And to add, Bruce told me the other day that he was going to get married when he is 20 years old, which is only 10 years away now. I told him that he better get a job and start saving for it now! Why are the boys both in hurries to grow up??? I will remember to savor these next 10 years though, just in case!
Tomorrow he will be 10 years old and I am pretty sure I will officially feel old!

28 is just 1 number
I have always had a pretty good memory. My memory is especially good when it comes to things that no one else typically remembers and random facts about things. For instance, just the other night we were watching ESPN and they were talking about the gold jacket ceremonies and Kurt Warner's name was brought up. I turned to Matt and said that Kurt Warner used to play arena football and I don't know why I know that! He said that he thought it was CFL that he had played so I looked it up to see if my memory really was so random. I was right. Seriously though, how does my mind remember that but I can't remember how to multiply fractions?
I remember most of my birthdays. I say most because I don't remember the first 4 at least. 1 year on my birthday John Candy died (he was an actor and I loved his movies, Uncle Buck for instance), another year we went to discovery zone and a different year I had a birthday party in April when it was warm, even though my birthday is March 4. I have always loved my birthday and loved getting older each year.
Since becoming a mom I have had my birthday on the back burner and we don't celebrate it as much. I don't let that bother me though, but probably because we go all out for the boys birthdays who are just 6 and 4 weeks before mine! The first birthday of mine that we celebrated in NC was one of my favorites! Matt missed Bruce's 5th birthday and Levi's 1st birthday after deploying to Haiti within hours after an earthquake struck. We didn't know when he would be home or how long he would be gone, so I figured he would miss all of our birthdays. After 6 weeks of being gone he was home unexpectedly days before my birthday! The next year he was deploying to Iraq in May and had to go to JRTC before hand. We knew he would be gone the month of March and surprisingly he left a few days after my birthday instead of before. There have been a year here or there where he was in the field in the spring, but not on my birthday! I think it is funny that the only birthday, holiday or special day that he has NEVER missed (as of yet) has been my birthday!
sine
The funny thing about that is that my birthday isn't treated very special. Don't get me wrong, the boys and Matt make my birthday nice by going out to eat and letting me buy whatever I want, but no parties, no cakes or anything too extravagant! I love that we celebrate my day in a low key way and don't do it big, because then I would feel that I have to make all of their birthdays even more special!
In 53 days I will be 29 and I am hoping that Matt's arm is healed enough to go out to eat and see a movie as a family! The last year in my 20's is going to be a blast! I wasn't a typical person in their 20's because I became a mom when I was almost 19 years old. I have grown so much since becoming a mom almost 10 years ago (wowza, I feel old), but I would never change that or I wouldn't be me!

What the what?
In 20 days we will be the parents of a 10 year old! WHAT? When did this happen? Only a few years left until middle school and teenage hood. I remember when I turned 10 specifically because I was 2 whole hands old! Haha! And my favorite number was 13 and I was even closer to 13 once I hit 10! 2 digit birthdays to me meant that you weren't a little kid anymore. Now that I am about to the mom of a 2 digit number kid I want to think that he will be a kid for quite sometime still, but I know it is just a matter of time now.
Bruce is a great kid. Don't get me wrong, he gets in trouble on the daily and has more attitude than I did at this age (and I was known for my attitude unfortunately) and he is sluggish when I am high speed. Despite the normal kid stuff and the extra Bruce aloofness he puts off at times, I am blessed with a sweet and caring boy (well 2 actually, but this is about the almost 10 year old this time). Bruce is smart and considerate and wants everybody to like him. He has started standing up for himself and is so complimentary and respectful. One funny thing, he is just like a mini Matt. No, seriously. He acts like him and does the same kinds of things that Matt does and did (and some are things that he hasn't seen or heard Matt do).
Bruce likes to watch football and is starting to understand it too. He cheers and jeers and enjoys watching! He has also started to learn how to play football with Dad in the backyard. He wants to play in the fall and we are excited that he has finally wanted to play a sport and doubly excited because he wants to play a sport and that Matt and I both love too. He wanted to be a RB, but he throws the ball so well! You would think that he has been playing it for years with the way he throws the ball. Bruce is in 4th grade and I cannot believe that he that old! It makes me feel even older each year on his birthday. We are very proud of Bruce and who is becoming and we look forward to seeing what this year brings for him!

Despite the normal kid stuff and the extra Bruce aloofness he puts off at times, I am blessed with a sweet and caring boy (well 2 actually, but this is about the almost 10 year old this time). Bruce is smart and considerate and wants everybody to like him. He has started standing up for himself and is so complimentary and respectful. One funny thing, he is just like a mini Matt. No, seriously. He acts like him and does the same kinds of things that Matt does and did (and some are things that he hasn't seen or heard Matt do).
Bruce likes to watch football and is starting to understand it too. He cheers and jeers and enjoys watching! He has also started to learn how to play football with Dad in the backyard. He wants to play in the fall and we are excited that he has finally wanted to play a sport and doubly excited because he wants to play a sport and that Matt and I both love too. He wanted to be a RB, but he throws the ball so well! You would think that he has been playing it for years with the way he throws the ball. Bruce is in 4th grade and I cannot believe that he that old! It makes me feel even older each year on his birthday. We are very proud of Bruce and who is becoming and we look forward to seeing what this year brings for him!
