I am 29 yrs old. Will be 30 in May of this year - both scary & exciting to me
I was born & raised in small town Ohio, close to the Indiana state line (like 5 minutes away). I have lived in Ohio, Indiana, North Carolina & now Georgia
My parents are still married and have living in the same home for 33 years now! That is just amazing to me!!!
I am married to my BEST FRIEND, James
!
We met & started dating in 1996 (yes i was 16) He was my 1st and only TRUE love. We dated for a couple years, hang out a little later in our lives. Lost contact and had our separate lives for several years! Then, we re-connected in 2007!!! We both knew from that point forward we were MEANT to be together. We were inseparable, and determined that this is what life had to offer both of us!July 2008, we found out we were expecting a baby - Due March 2009, and once again our lives changed forever!
2009 brought MANY changes for us. We lost James mother to Cancer in January. Also in January, James was offered a job in Georgia, and we could not turn down the opportunity / pay. So he accepted the job, and moved from Indiana to Georgia in February 2009. At that point I was 8 month pregnant, and he was living in a hotel for 3 weeks, until he found a place.
At my 38 wk appointment, I was 4 cm dialated & 60% effaced, no wonder I was exhausted all the time :~) I talked to the Dr and decided to schedule and induction for the following week - The Dr did not think I would make it that long, so James decided to come home and spend the week with me. While he was home we decided to get married - the day before my induction.
There was a local chapel in town that could get us in w/ an hours notice. So over lunch we decided to get married, went to the courthouse to get the marriage license, went to the store and bought rings, called our parents, and by dinner was married. Turned out beautiful, nothing fancy at all, but worked out for us!
The following day we had our baby girl. I won't go into labor &.JPG)
delivery in this post, but will in a later post for sure. It took us 2 days to name her. We Decided on Savanah Marie. When we went to the hospital we had about 5 names picked out, but nothing seemed to fit her, so we had to start from scratch again!
While I was in the hospital recovering, James headed to our house, packed the entire place (with help from his friends & family) and loaded up the uhaul. He had to head back to GA the day I left the hospital. I went to stay at my parents house, so that I could heal, and have support before we moved south
April My father in law & his wife offered to drive us to GA for a long weekend to see my husband. That was some much needed R & R w/ the family.
May was a whirlwind month. I decided, instead of quitting my job while on maternity leave, that I would go back to work for 2 weeks - mornings only. I gave them my formal notice, trained another employee to do my job, and left on good terms. Later that month Savanah & mommy headed south to start our new life.
It was definitely very rough to say the least. My husband works a rotating night schedule - on 12 hour shifts. That being said I was home all alone with my new baby all day, and alone thru the night with her also.
Everyday that passes now, gets easier & easier. With this move, and my husbands job, I have gotten the opportunity to become a STAY AT HOME MOMMY, which is the toughest job I have every had. I am very thankful that We have some GREAT neighbors.
Another local mommy contacted me. She informed me that she was starting a MOMS Club in the area. I have been so eager to help her. We will be starting our meeting up here in the next couple months. Very exciting for this momma!
In November, I found thru Face book that I LOVE entering giveaways. It fills my time once Savanah is is bed, and James is off to work. It makes me feel not so alone at night. To date I have won 16 giveaways. GO ME, and my hubbs loves that.

A little more about ME:
I have learned that i love being a mommy over the past 10 months!!!!
I have been blogging since 2001 via LiveJournal, but just recently converted to BlogSpot in November 2009. I love anything to spark my creativity, writing, scrap booking, organizing, and also love just hanging out being easy going!! I HATE drama & stupid people, but love my life that we have created. I love cooking & baking also. I am the football fanatic in the household. INDIANAPOLIS COLTS ALL THE WAY!!!
I LOVE, and have become VERY ADDICTED to, entering giveaways on blogs.
I have an associated degree in Office Admin, and have worked in every aspect of an office over the past 12 years. If I continue to get the opportunity to stay at home, I am planning on starting up my own review blog, maybe getting involved in sponsored giveaways. I just need to do my research on getting started. Also I plan on being active in our MOMS Club, and enjoy the south a little bit more
Hopefully I gave you a good peek into my life. If you should have questions, feel free to leave me a comment to learn more!!
