Where to start? God has blessed me beyond measure. As a 20 something Navy wife, I'm married to my Hospital Corpsman, Doc Handsome, for over two years now and together over three. We have one amazing (I might be a tad biased) little boy, Mini Doc Handsome, born October 2009. Although I am mostly defined by my titles as wife and mother, I am also a daughter, sister, Godmother, friend, granddaughter and above all else, thankful to God for everything he has provided. I work part time, go to school full time, and play the roll as mamma and wife all the time!
We just survived our first 10 month deployment. While Doc Handsome was gone, I went through pregnancy and gave birth to Mini DH. Four months later, Doc Handsome came home. I'd say my life is dedicated to my husband's pride for our country and our little man. Finishing school and teaching elementary school lies ahead in my future. I hardly know all there is to know about being a Navy wife but I certainly enjoy the frustrating yet exciting life that the military has offered thus far.
I started this blog as a way to keep our families who live far in touch with our daily life. It's grown to much more than that and now I've found connections through other gals who share the same way of life as myself. I'm not into the follower count or award winning. It's just not for me. I do enjoy reading others experiences and trying to share mine as much as possible.

A taste of the first birthday
Now that things have settled down quite a bit, I have some time to update about Mini Dh's grand first birthday parties. He had two because where we live we have a lot of friends but on the other end of the state a lot of our family and even more friends live too. So to please everyone Mini Dh got two birthday parties about a week apart. I figured I'd split this post up into two different ones. These are just some highlights of his two parties. The next post will show all the little details and decorations that we all made to make it a memorable occasion.
The parties were fantastic and during the first one while everyone sung "Happy Birthday" to him, I admit I was a little weepy eyed. Mini Dh just stared around at all the people that loved him during both songs.
The next post will talk about his cake more but he even though he got lucky in the fact that he had two cake eatings, both cakes were made by me and were sugar free and egg free. Both cakes were little mini ones made especially for him. We hadn't introduced him to eggs at that point although now he does eat them. And surprisingly, they tasted pretty yummy.
