Justin and I got married on October 27th, 2007 and he joined the USAF two weeks later. We found out we were expecting in January and that we had concieved Nov. 26th... we didn't wait long!
Were due to have a girl August 26th and we are super excited!
I was in college until May but I am not going back now until spring so I can take care of the little one. I have an AA and am working on my BA in Sociology and I cannot wait to start a career hopefully in law enforcement or probation and parole.
We just found out that we will be moving to Tinker AFB in September, and then off to Kadena AFB in Japan May 2009!
