"Christmas"

We opened Christmas presents last week and Adrienne had a blast taking the paper off!! Adrienne got plenty of fun toys! Her daddy bought her a tub full of bath toys and her favorite one is a fishing line... she gets that from him. :)

400 days...






Carson got home on January 02, 2008 at 4:15 pm!!!! Adrienne and I arrived at the gym at 12:10 and waited for his arrival which was supposed to be at 1:15, then moved to 2:45, and then again to 3:15...






The guys finally got in at 4:00 and walked into the gym to screaming kids and cheering family! I could not see Carson at first but Tara found him and started crying and pointed him out to me and I quickly followed suit with the tears! I stood up on the bleachers (in 5 inch heels, in case he couldn't see me) and then started waving like I was lost on an island!






Anyways so after the National Anthem and a prayer the CSM spoke and they released the families to find their soldiers so I rushed over to Carson, with Adrienne in arms, and pulling Stephanie behind me so she could take pictures and found Carson among a sea of ACU's. The crowd was so overwhelming for Adrienne that she started screaming but the second we walked outside she looked at Carson and held our her arms and smiled like a kid in a candy store!






The past few days have been wonderful!! We have pretty much done nothing but hang out and play with Adrienne and cook! I have, of course, gone picture crazy!!!!

The Mr. and Mrs.

What a year it has been! Carson and I started dating May of 2007, he was stationed at Fort Polk,La. with the Army and I had just gotten home from a year in India. He came back to Arizona in late June and we spent the whole time together! We had so much fun going to Sedona and Grand Canyon, hanging out at the river and just hanging out with eachother. We got engaged August 10, 2007, and less than one month later, (September 08, 2007) we were married! Then Carson left for Iraq on November 29, so we spent our first Christmas apart :( but luckily he got to come home a few months later when our daughter was born on March 27, 2008. So needless to say our past year has been full of amazing surprises and sad times but its been a great journey!
