About Me

God didnt promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow or sun without rain. But he did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears and light for the way.Lets see...First of all I am a proud army wife..Hooahhh ladies! I married my best friend in the entire world and he has made me the happiest woman on earth.He is the type of person that I strive to be like...strong, caring, romantic, loyal and fair. He has unconditional love for me and our daughter. I have recently moved from our home in Texas back to Illinois to be with my family here. He is currently working as a chinook helicoptor mechanic and was deployed to Kuwait and Iraq on June 8th 2008. Deployments and time spent away from your loved ones is the hardest thing a person can do, but with the support of my lyc wives, other military wives, family and friends ill get by. This past September we welcomed our little angel, Bailey Lynn, into this world. She is the love of our life and has completed us as a family. I am so proud of her everyday and I fall deeper in love with her every time I hold her. Becoming a mother has been the happiest and most rewarding experience thus far. I love my life and could not be happier. I love my career as a nurse but I am currently not working at the moment. My family and friends are my life,with out them I would not be the person I am today. I also love my second best friend, Takota, my "puppy"....he is wonderful! Having my husband gone again is very hard, but I am staying strong and trying to stay busy. I am thankful that I have him in my life and that he is safe, I pray for his safe return every day...

I love to cook and bake and am always trying new things. I love my friends, you know who you are and how you have made a difference in my life:) I love my family, all the faulkners and the knapsteins! I love being a nurse! I love baseball and football, sports to me are wonderful! I need about 4 cups of coffee each day, but usually drink much much more to keep me going! (when not preggo) I love feeling my lil baby girl kick and move..sometimes I think she is trying to box her way out! I love phone calls from my husband, hearing his voice is oh so sweet I love recieving his love letters:)I love to read. Some of my favorites are Janet Evanovich, Nicholas Sparks, John Grisham, Nora Roberts... I love nursing and helping people and i especially love kids.

I set out on a narrow way Many years ago. Hoping I would find true love Along the broken road. But I got lost a time or two Wiped my brow, kept pushing through I couldn't see how every sign Pointed straight to you. Every long lost dream Led me to where you are Others who broke my heart were like northern stars Pointing me on my way Into your loving arms. This much I know is true: That God blessed the broken road That led me straight to you. I think about the years I've spent Just passing through I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you But you just smile and take my hand You've been there; you understand It's all part of a grander plan That is coming true Every long lost dream Led me to where you are Others who broke my heart They were like northern stars Pointing me on my way Into your loving arms This much I know is true: That God blessed the broken road That led me straight to you. I love you so much Jeff.

"I watch you sleep at night trying to memorize everything about you. Every scar and freckle, every curve of your face, even how you breathe...cuz...i know you'll be leaving soon"My husband, for showing me what true love and life is really all about, loving me unconditionally and giving me his entire heart. And for stepping up and fighting for his country. My parents for showing me what marriage and family really mean. For loving us girls, being such a constant in our lives and being the best of friends to us."It takes more than just a man to wear a uniform and more than just a woman to love a man in one."My parents, for setting such a wonderful example for me. They have a wonderful marriage of nearly 35 years full of love, happiness and humor. They are more than just parents, they are best friends.My sisters, for supporting me, loving me, making me laugh.
