Happy 5 Years!!!

My husband and I celebrated 5 years of wedded bliss yesterday!
It has not always been sunshine and rainbows, but it has been a beautiful 5 years of marriage. In our 5 years, we have had 2 beautiful children, we adopted 1 dog (although that was the week before we got married), we've PCS'ed 3 times and lived in 4 different houses, and Adam has had 6 different jobs to include 2 commands.

I remember our wedding day as if it were yesterday. I don't know how most people feel on their wedding day, but I was calm and just ready. When the makeup lady was an hour late, I could have easily freaked, but it didn't bother me. I had planned enough time into the day that I could sit and wait to be pampered. For those who don't know, I pretty much never do my hair or makeup for an event. I was just ready to marry Adam. I could sit and hang out with my sister while we waited for the lady to arrive. When we got back to mom and dad's house, the bridesmaids were hanging out and we played the Wii. It was pretty laid back and awesome.

Marriage is hard. There are times when we argue and times where we don't speak for a couple of hours. There are times where I hate editing his latest grad school paper, but I do it just because he asked. Most of the time though, we just laugh and love. I confide in Adam and he confides in me. I truly found my partner in life. We discuss big decisions and big purchases and, for the most part, we agree. He makes me want to be better and, hopefully, I do the same for him.

Here's to many, many more years. I don't like to say "here's to 10, 20, or 50 more years" as I feel like that gives it an end date. I don't think there will ever be an end date. He's my hubby and I love him, always will!

Girl Scout Cookie Season!

Hi, it's Payton! I'm in Brownie Troop 5403 and I'm selling Girl Scout Cookies! My favorite is the Thin Mints. My brother and I are each donating a box of cookies this year.

Our Chance

God of healing, please comfort and strengthen Chance during his illness. Ease his fear and pain, and guide the vet and all caring for him, that he may recover fully. Comfort us, too, God, that we may better care for Chance and make decisions that are best for him.  -From www.daybydaypetsupport.com Adam and I got Chance the week before we were married. We had gone to look at dogs before, but had never left with one. We almost did once when we were at the ASPCA in Savannah. We saw two dogs who were absolutely adorable, but we knew we only wanted one dog. You see, the shelter had named them Ziva and DiNozzo, and in spite of what the show says, we knew that they should be together. A couple days after we went to the ASPCA, I convinced Adam to go look at this cute golden retriever who I'd seen on PetFinder who was at a local rescue shelter. When we got there, that dog had already been adopted. We saw two dogs that we liked, one was a skinny, nervous girl and the other was

Thrown for a Loop

When I woke up this morning, I thought that today was going to be a regular Tuesday. I got up and got dressed, got the kids dressed, packed Payton's snack in her backpack, poured Payton some milk and got her breakfast, and then got in the car to take Payton to preschool. I went to the gym to work my co-op shift and then worked out while Austin remained in the room to play. We then went to the PX to get a Go Army! Beat Navy! flag for my dad for his office, and then we went to get Payton from preschool. On the way home, Adam calls. The day took a turn that I wasn't expecting. Adam heard from the vet today and found out that Chance's mast cell tumor was Stage 2 and that he needs to see the oncologist to figure out what to do next. The cancer cells have spread to his lymph nodes so he will either need to undergo chemotherapy or radiation. Well, at least we hope those are the only two options.
