Ashley MEPS/ Sworn in

I love being an American! This flag represents everything that America stands for. I wanted to take a picture of the flag because I'm so proud to be an American and so proud that my sister is going in the Marines!
This is the Oath that everyone had to say. Just thought that it was neat on the wall so I took a picture of it.

My little sister is ready for boot camp. Good luck Ashley. I know you can do it!

Ashley saying her oath.


At MEPS. My oldest brother always had to be a goof.
I'm going to forever treasure this moment! See you in 13 weeks Ashley!

MEPS brought back so many memories of when my husband left for Air Force Basic Training. He's been in the Air Force for about a year now and how time flies. I remember sitting in the exact same room. It was such an emotional day but I kept strong. After I saw Ashley get on the bus, I cried my eyes out but I'm so proud of her! I'm also proud of my husband to! They are my heroes! I look forward to seeing Ashley in 13 weeks!

Last dinner with Ashley

Outside in the parking lot at the Sheraton Hotel where Ashley is staying at and will leave from there to go to MEPS where she will go to boot camp. I'm glad that its finally snowing and not melting.

Dirty Santa. My mom got some sauce on her shirt and I thought it was funny so I took a picture of it. My mom called him dirty Santa so that's where the name came from.
Pepperoni! Yum!
Mom, Dad and I having a fun time.
Dad and I.
Ashley and Austin. Ashley recruited Austin and so now he's in the Marines to! He leaves for boot camp January 10th. We are so proud of Austin And Ashley!
My little sister and I. Gosh how we have grown. I can't believe that we are adults now. Time has flown by. I'm going to miss my sister but I know I will see her in 13 weeks.

Best pizza in town. Our waitress wasn't friendly at all. She just seemed like she was snobby but nonetheless had a great time with Ashley.

Happy December!

I'm so looking forward to snow, Christmas, being with my family, ringing in the holiday cheer. I love this time of year. When I see snow on the ground, and on the trees I imagined Christmas, singing Christmas songs, opening up presents, remember Jesus and his birth, drinking some apple cider. There is so much to be thankful for and so much to celebrate this time of year! I so look forward to many holidays with my husband! :)

Happy Thanksgiving!

I'm thankful for my wonderful husband Ben, family and friends, for some rain, and for Jesus dying on the cross for me. Have a happy thanksgiving everyone! :)

DecembeRadio Concert

I got DecemeRadio's autograph! They are such sweet guys! Kaleb Lay there new drummer is best friend's with my friend Cody who goes to my church. I met Kaleb's fiance and told her that she is gorgeous and she showed me her ring and I'm like that's beautiful. She made a shirt that says "I'm with the drummer". Its a good shirt. I should get one that says I'm with my Airman.
The first band that played was Red Umbrella. They were awesome! And they are also sweet guys to.
This is DecembeRadio. They were so awesome! There songs are so awesome to! It was a worship service and it was so great!

Red Umbrella doing there thang.




Can't you see I'm having a great time! These bands played at my church! It was a great show! I haven't been to a concert in awhile and it definitely paid off.
Thank you to both bands for playing at my church. You guys are so great and the Lord has definitely blessed you with talents. I had a great time!

Happy birthdays.

Yesterday was my mom's birthday! I got her a webcam that she always wanted. Its high definition and its the best kind to get. My dad helped me so I was happy about that! Today we continued with my mom's birthday celebration. We had chicken, pork and beans and soft drinks. My brother John and his girlfriend Lori came over and my niece Raelyn was also here to, Alvin was here to! We had a great celebration and people will also be back tomorrow after church to eat some more! I'm glad that my mom had a great birthday! I didn't take any pictures because my mom doesn't like getting her picture taken. Today was fun and I enjoyed myself! God is good!

Pictures of me in my wedding dress!

I finally have pictures up of me in my wedding dress. I absolutely love this dress and it makes me feel sexy in it. This jacket matches so perfectly with the dress.
I'm so pleased with how I look in this! It makes me look like I have curves!
My husband taking pictures in the background. He takes some great pictures! He says that I look sexy in my dress!
I'm absolutely glowing in this one! I'm just so happy I finally have my dress! Now time for hemming to be done and alterations. The good thing about this dress is that not much has to be done to it. So I'm happy about that! :)
This looks like my stomach is flat and I love that!
I love everything about this dress. I love how it looks on me!


I'm so thankful that my hubby took pictures of my dress because I didn't bring my camera because the batteries where dead in it and he wanted to take some pictures on his camera and the pics look really good! He takes such good pictures!
