About Me


RRsDesigns
Ok, about me........I am happily married to my soulmate and have a beautiful baby boy! I am soo happy. My husband left for Iraq July 28th and its so hard! Harder than anything Ive ever done before but I know its part of the life of a marine wife. I am thankful everyday for all the gifts God has given to me in Logan and Layne. I love to read! To sing in the shower and to my son since he doesnt know any better! I love our beautiful sunny weather in Arizona. I am also a stay at home mom and love being with my son! I love the smell of fresh cut grass and I miss the smell of the stockyards. I love my new SUV! I love the Marine Corps and the way that my husband is so disciplined and determined and the way hes proud to be serving his country. I LOVE the way he looks in his military dress blues!! I love being able to dress my son up in silly outfits like a duck or santa, spike his hair and take pictures of him. I love the way he smiles and giggles when he wakes up in the morning. I love my family and friends. And my MAKER!!This picture is of my wonderful husband and I at Christmas time, one month after the birth of our son (so pardon the baby weight). We went to Mississippi to visit his parents and see his entire family and take Layne to meet them. It was sooooo much fun, except the plane ride over trying to keep him quiet.

My Interests

This is the baby at about 3 weeks old. Look how skinny his face used to be. He's so strong though to be so little. Look how he holds his head up steady already.

I'd like to meet:

This is our first trip to the pool! He LOVES that handle. LOL! Isnt his little hat adorable? This is my son on daddys shoulders. Hes HUGE I know. Hes gotten so big these past few weeks, its crazy! He weighs in at a whopping 17 pounds and hes only 12 weeks old. This is our first night out just the two of us since the baby's been born. We had an incredibly romantic dinner for Valentines Day. Dont mind the cheesey flower in the hair, it was my husbands idea.

Movies:

I had to take this picture when the baby was almost 2 months old. He is constantly spitting up on me and Logan thinks its sooooo funny so he cheers him on when he does it. This was the first spitup on daddy so I had to cheer!..

Television:

This is Logans recent promotion to Corporal. Hes now a Non Commissioned Officer in the Marine Corps. Im so proud of him! Most people spend their lives wondering if they've made a difference in the world, the Marines dont have that problem!
