Change in the making

Fall crisp air, beautiful daughter playing with her toys and me awaiting my husbands arrival from work........These are the days. Perfect harmony the past few weeks. John is loving the Sheriffs Office and has amazing hours. (and boy, does he look like a hottie in the uniform ) Bailey as normal growing, learning and exploring. She's loving all our outdoor trips now that the weather is cooler. We finally got a dining room table!!! (all my love to craigslist) We missed our family dinners together. Fun floor picnics...just weren't much "fun" anymore. We have a few (hopefully) Big changes coming up soon. We are keeping our fingers crossed. We are excited and nervous and all of thee above! We are ready to make big steps, big plans and big changes! John and I have been working on many great things to better us inside and out :) We are opening a new chapter in our lives.

We are loving being a family again. It was so surreal for so long, but it feels amazing still. Waking up every morning and falling asleep every night next to my husbund makes everyday wonderful. Its so easy to take the little things like that for granted. Married ladies don't forget how blessed you are to have your husband by your side. I love making his lunch in the mornings (with a secret note on the napkin that he always knows is there) and sending him off to work with a kiss. I love watching Bailey wave and blow kisses to him as he gets in his car and how extremely excited she gets when he walks in the door every afternoon. These little moments make his day and mine. I love being a Wife and most of all a Mommy :)

17 sweet sweet months

Holy Cow! Bailey turned 17 months on Friday. She will be a year and half next month!! Seems unreal, but this crazy girl is a toddler for sure!! There is no denying this wild child is full of fun, spunk, curiosity and Trouble (yes with a capital T) oh and tantrums!!! haha She is unbelievably smart, sometimes too smart for her own good. I'm still amazed how fast she learns things. I cant imagine life without this beautiful little girl!

The start of somethin new..

I am so proud of John. What an amazing husband I have! What a lucky girl I am. He has been so amazing and supportive through out this past year. We were praying that he would come and home a find a job and our lives would be able to jump right back in their places.....and it happened just like that.

Congrats to Culpeper County's newset Deputy John Clubb.

Nothing like a man in uniform ;)

Picture perfect

A few weeks back we went and had family photos done. We were so excited to finally have some real family pics after a year for John being away! Heres a sneek peek at a few of our favs :)

16 months wild child!

On the 17th Bailey turned 16 months! Boy, this little girl is growing up too quickly. We've been having a bast with this wild toddler. Bailey is such a little sponge. Its amazing what she learns everyday. She's so smart and so funny. She has the sweetest and most loving personality but also this wild, silly and spiteful side. hahaha The toddler tantrums have begun..what fun.. ha. Shes really enjoying having Daddy around everyday as am I. He's such a huge help, its so nice sharing the responsibilities of parenthood.

Bailey first beach trip

We went down to Myrtle Beach last week to visit family and hit the beach a bit. It was our first Family vacation!! Bailey loved the sand and water, she's a natural beach bum. We broke up the trip and stayed in NC overnight on the way there and back. It was a great trip. We really enjoyed being able to spend time with my grandmother and seeing my cousin and her husband. The vacation was great for us it was a nice break before reality set in of finding John a job and car. But our prayers were answered as soon as we got home we had a phone call from the Culpeper County Sheriff's Office asking John to come in the next day. Long story short...He got he job!!! Such a huge relief! We are so excited for him to start and soon to embark on a new adventure of finding a house!

Me and my Shadow.

Me and my shadow
We're closer than pages that stick in a book
We're closer than ripples that play in a brook
Strolling down the avenue
Wherever you find him, you'll find me, just look
