About Me

Sassy*Stephs*Layouts♥Hey! I'm Stephanie. Used to be Stephanie Pellos. I married Kyle VanDuinen on May 21, 2004. Kyle has been in the Army for 3 years now. We've only been together for one of our anniversaries & that was b/c i picked him up from AIT for the weekend. We've only been together maybe 1/2 the time we've been married...literally. He's deployed right now so me and the girls are in SC. He will be coming back to the states by November, but will immediately be going back to AIT to switch jobs. So we wont be a full family unit again til maybe April 2010. That's a total of 2 years 4 mo seperation. Rediculous.
As much as he annoys me, I hate being w/o him. It's also really hard being alone with two kids and im sure other military wives know what I mean. I feel sick thinking about it, so I just don't. I hope our girls will know him when he returns.
♥I have two gorgeous daughters: Evangeline Dollie, who was born at 1 lb 12 ozs (3 months early) on March 31st 2005 & Genevieve Katherine who was just born Feb 10, 2008 at 34 weeks, 5 lbs 5.8 ozs! I cant believe Im a mommy of two. Every day I wake up tired yet somehow manage to start cleaning or moving around by 8am. This is so unlike me. It's not hard to stay busy everyday and when I'm watching Angel and Genna play and grow so quickly.. when I feel the SC sunshine on my skin, I thank God for the miracles in my life... my girls.. and I know deep down I've made all the right choices.
♥I am a sinner. I have a very intimate relationship with God and my family is blessed by the blood of Jesus. I don't push my beliefs on people, but I am open with how I feel about it. I may not appear to be the best christian but I really try to be.
♥I dearly love my friends, to whom I am Always!! honest. I HATE lying. I'm a faithful friend and the best secret keeper in the world. but I horribly suck at returning a phone call... probably b/c I loathe talking on the phone.
♥I love change. Change my hair, Change my mind, Change my decor, Change my myspace, Change my panties.. oops... I think this characteristic in me is helpful in being a military wife. I tire of moving, but I never tire of something new or a new place to live..new things to look at. I thrive on it. "Change is the only constant in life!"
♥ Im a germ-o-phob and wish ppl would PLEASE wash their hands after they potty. haha! no, seriously...
♥Ive been told Im emotional/sensitive but I like it that way! Id rather live life feeling everything at intensity then being numb to the world so I dont get hurt.
♥I find myself too frequently thinking of things I've done in the past and regretting them..wishing I could change people that have been in my life and erase them. Im really hard on myself all the time and I think entirely too much.
♥How do you change the world? One act of random kindness at a time.
