On December 11, 2008 my husband and I welcomed our first baby into the world at 9:26 am. The happiest moment of either of our lives. Dexter was 7 lbs 6oz and 20.5 inches long.

I am the wife of a Marine. He is the love of my life and my hero. This year is going to be difficult with a newborn and a husband who is deployed but I have faith that we will all make it through ok.

Once Dexter gets a little older I will be going back to school to get my RN. It is has been my dream for a long time now to become a nurse, but starting my family is worth putting it off for a while. Any thing else you want to know just ask.
