Yaple Family Blog: May 2007

Isn't she the cutest thing ever!

Well, this blog site is going to mostly be based on my family and our everyday life. Not that it's that interesting or anything, but it's kinda like my online diary that I don't mind sharing with others. So I guess I should let everyone know a little more about me and my family. I met Andy the week after I graduated from high school... and he stole my heart... just like my song LOL. We dated for about 2 1/2 years before we got married. I then packed my bags and moved to Montgomery, AL only to have him leave 2 weeks later for a deployment to the Middle East... one of many... that try our relationship in different ways each time. But in a short 9 months we won't be worrying about that anymore. That deployment was very hard on me because I was in this huge city, all alone, with no friends, and starting my last 2 years of college. It was very stressful. We lived in this really shitty base house, but we loved it! (Even though there was a huge 10 foot security fence with barbed wire because there was a project across the street from the housing). No one ever broke into my house lol. Then due to crime they shut that housing area down and moved everyone onto the actual base. Even though our house was in a slum, I always liked it and was sad to move. In our next base house, I throughly enjoyed laughing at my neighbors. The walls were so thin that we could hear them have sex all the time. And fight- and throw things. Also when I lived there, I found out that with cheap blinds, they must close a certain way.... one of the ways... it looks closed from the inside but from the outside you can actually see in. I always wondered how many of my neighbors saw me naked. I probably scared them. Im sure they took pics or video and Im probably on youtube somewhere. O'well. Then a couple months after we moved in there Andy was deloyed again. I pretty much lived in that house by myself except for maybe three months. That deployment sucked like all the rest of them. Then we he came back we decided that we didn't want to live on base anymore. We looked around for a house to rent but then decided that it would be better to just buy. So the first house we looked at we were like wow. Bought it. And in the process found out I was pregnant. So we had all kinds of exciting things going on. A new house and we were so excited about having a pool, then we debated on which of the four rooms would be the babys. I wanted BB to have to largest room in the house besides ours. 9 months later, Brynn, our beautiful first born, was finally here. Life has only gotten better since. We really are so happy. I think this is the happiest we have ever been. Sometimes I find myself wondering... Ok what can go wrong to TRY to ruin this. Then I just think to myself... nothing in the world can. Then I smile and look at all the pictures of my happy family. And how proud I am that me and Andy have accomplished so much in life at such a young age. And in all actuality... the only accomplishment we care about is Brynn.... all the other stuff is just icing on the cake. Well, it's late. But I'll leave yall with some pictures of us at the pool today. Brynn really enjoyed it. I hope everyone has a great Mother's Day. I can't wait to see what Andy and Brynn have instore for me......
