Blizzard Bloghop

The Blizzard Bloghop [Household 6 Diva] is a little contest where you can enter by simply writing up an introduction of yourself, adding your blog link on the link up & putting the badge on your page - pretty easy, right? Here goes mine..

That's meeeeeee ;)


I'm a 20 year old Navy Wife stationed in Everett, WA & from a little, itty-bitty town called Soddy-Daisy right outside of Chattanooga, TN. I graduated with 43 people from Sale Creek High - yeah, it's suuuuper small. I've played softball since I remember being able to pick up the ball, well, until I got married ;) I have one older brother who is only 15 months older than me & some of the best people in my life anyone could ask for; including my fam[ily].

I'm addicted to photography, my 2 chihuahua's & my Sailor. I can't help myself. We don't have any kiddos due to Sailor's schedule so there is NO time. Instead, our kiddos have fur & four legs. :)

Our girls - Frenchie, white & Lola, black :)

I LOVE my babies! They're everything to me. Life was way entirely too quite and boring without them because Sailor is gone so much for work ups, deployment, etc. I got Frenchie when she was only 7 months old in February 2010 & I got Lola when she was 2 [just had x amount of puppies] in July 2010. It was hard adjustment for both Frenchie and Lola to get used to one another but now they're best friends & can't even stand to be apart from one another.

Me & Cody a day after he graduated from BC
Cody & I met November 2007 & started dating Dec the same year. I knew it was true love & it would last from the very beginning. We were both in the DEP program with the Navy. My career, obviously, didn't work out but that's a long story & in the past. I honestly didn't know what I was getting myself into with DATING a soon to be Sailor but it wasn't very long until I figured it all out (or what they WANT you to know). I turned 18 on May 9, 2008, he proposed to me on May 11, 2008 & we were married on May 19, 2008. He soon left for BC on July 27, 2008 for 2 months & was in Pensacola, Fl for 7 months right away. I didn't get to move with him since his a-school was only supposed to be for 2 months & I wasn't 'permitted' to move. I worked as a CNA in TN the whole time he was gone. I loved it but apparently they didn't like the fact my husband was in the Navy & we were moving away, FAR away & very soon. He got orders to Everett, WA in March 09 & we moved April 09 - that's where our *for real* Navy Life started. Little did we know, he'd only be home for 8 months before constant work ups and preparing for OUR first deployment; mine, his & our first all at the same time. It was and still is tough.

USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72)

The ship that has my heart <3 Come home soon! [& fast!!]
**sorry for the f-word  but it's true & I totally agree ;)**

  2. Sailor's grandfather is a retired Navy Vet as well :) his other grandfather is Army Vet & I have mannnnny service members on my side of the family. It's always nice when people feel your pain when Sailor can't be with us for the holidays because he's deployed.
