Army National Guard

Trevor has decided to join the National Guard in order to serve our country and to pay for schooling. We have thought long and hard about this and feel it is in the best interest of our family that he join. I am really scared and excited for this part of our lives but we know it will all be for the best. I am so proud of Trevor for deciding to do this not only for our country but for our family. Trevor will be enlisting at the end of May and will go to boot camp for 8 weeks shortly after my birthday on June 23rd.

I totally forgot to talk about Christmas! Connor got completely spoiled! He got a ride in Jeep from Uncle Cole, and a four wheeler from his grandpa and nanna Welch for his birthday. He got a lot of toys from everyone and a bunch of cute clothes too. I got a new crockpot that I absolutely love! I also got some clothes, pajamas, purse, books, and a bunch more stuff. Trevor got clothes, pajamas, a bunch of DVD's, new games for his X box 360, and some tools.

We spent Christmas eve night at my parents so we could wake up with them on Christmas day, Trevor had to work both days but we still had an amazing Christmas!

My anniversary

So for our 5 year wedding anniversary me and Trevor didn't have much money so we just went to see Sherlock Holmes and we both really liked it. Then we went and got Connor from my parents house and went to eat. We had a fun day just being together and talking about what a great 5 years it has been. We are looking forward to many more years together not to mention an eternity.

I have recently been attending girls night out which is for the girls that I graduated with to just get away for a while and it has been a lot of fun. It has been so nice to get out of the house and away from my mommy duties even if it is for only a few hours. I am so thankful for that group of girls because they are a lot of fun and seem to accept me now even though I have made plenty of mistakes in the past.

Before I mentioned that my cousins four month old son passed away from leukemia and that was a very difficult time for my family. Our faith was tested and I was very happy to see my family all pull together during that time. My cousin is pregnant again and is going to have twins! We are all very excited and so is she and her husband though they are scared to death. It just goes to show how precious life is and it makes me appreciate my own son and I am very thankful that he is healthy.

I will put some more pictures on here a while later when I take some new ones of Connor.

Veterans Day

Today is Veterans Day and it has me thinking about my Grandpa Welch. He died when I was 8 but he fought in World War II. He was in the Navy and lied about his age to get in. He guarded Japanese prisoners and fought among others to keep our country safe. I miss him so much, he loved us all very much and I feel his presence almost everyday. Connor is so lucky to have just been with him in heaven and I know I will get to see him again some day. I love you grandpa!!
