so blessed

I am so blessed with the people in my life right now. I have met the best friend i have always been looking for. without knowing it was going to happen we have connected on a very intellectual and intelligent level. her whole family just invites you in as if you were one of their own. they're so much alike but you love them for what makes them... well them. i have found out the hard way that true and great friends are hard to come by and even harder to keep. i have been so blessed to find this family who sees me for me and believes in me. god had a great plan for bringing us together. my spirits are always higher when i get my "Sheri time" she is the one person (other than matty) that i can turn to and vent or whatever need be that i know will take it open heartedly and not judge but give me the best advice she can. her husband is quite, sweet and very nice to talk to. her kids only 10 and 11, i can have an actual conversation with and like it. i love them. and i hope more people and experience the love and friendship i am so grateful to share with the carver family.

putting everything together again

Now that matthew is working we figured we could get a place and finally get our family put back together. obviously we were wrong. we're both working and with christmas and both girls' bdays on the way our budgets are as tight as ever. i guess we're being kinda picky when it comes to getting a house but ugh. matthew and i have been discussing moving back to pocatello to be closer to my family. it's cheaper and away from the small town drama. i'm ready for a change and staying here is not the right answer. when matthew joins the army they've offered and additional 20,000 signing bonus if we get stationed in hawaii on top of the already 20,000 he'll be getting. idk what to think about that but i guess we're thinking about it. haha guess our lives will be changing ALOT in the next few years.

KAYDENCE WALKING!!!!!!!

LITTLE MISS KAYDENCE DAWN IS ALMOST WALKING!!!! SHE TOOK FOUR STEPS BY HERSELF TODAY!!!

She gets excited and trys to go faster than her little feet will allow.... which tells me that she's be full on running in a few weeks!!!!!!!!!! ahhh i'm not ready to have two that are walking! as it is she crawls so fast that we have a hard time keeping up with her!!!! walking at 9 months!!! i'm soooooo not ready!!! she's growing up so fast! hopefully will have a video up soon!!!!!!!!

Wanting more.......

I find myself more and more lately wanting more. Not only out of life, but more from myself. It's very hard for me to think that this is it... this is what i have done and this is all that i ever will be. I am not even sure how to put onto paper all the things that have gone through my head. After MANY long conversations with a very good friend of mine makes me realize how much i envy her. She has done so many things with her life and is still going after more. I think I just settle more because of the fact that it's familiar. No chance of failure. One thing I cannot get out of my head is photography. Something I would LOVE to do just unsure where to start. So many things come up that pushes what I want to the bottom of the list.......

New to blogging...

I have never been a blogger but have always been drawn to it. I guess first off I'll "introduce" our family.

My husband and I met when we were 15. I was best friends with his older sister and he was the mysterious guy who was "to cool" to date. haha. After knowing each other for 3 years we began dating. Knowing from the start that it was a perfect fit. After only one month of dating my dreams came true.... He proposed..........................

At the age of 18 I married my high school sweetheart. shortly after discovering we were expecting a beautiful baby girl.

February 14th of 2007 we welcomed Madison Michelle into the world.

6weeks early born at 6lbs and 19inches.

After being blessed with one daughter, in early 2008 we found out we were expecting baby girl #2. We were filled with surprise and joy. It was a very long and complicated pregnancy, but well worth it..... Kaydence Dawn made her arrival on January 10th 2009. a healthy baby girl of 7lbs 7oz and 19inches.

So there we have it. I have been blessed with so much in my life. Beautiful, healthy family and a great future ahead of us.
