My husband, Declan and I were married on August 4, 2007. However, our story started about six (or more) years prior to that. Basically, we've been together since we were 15 years young old. We were babies when we got married and we're okay with that. He's my rock. I mean that. He puts up with my crap. Basically, he's an angel of a man.
I was an elementary art teacher (grades K-4) for 3 years, and Declan works as a manager of an embroidery/embellishments department. The creative juices run wild in this household, as Declan is also a graphic designer/web developer. Together, we make a powerful artistic team, yo. Be scared. Or don't. Be inspired. Yea.
We also have a very spunky yorkie-pup. Our crazy, fun-loving, and endless-kiss-giving dog, Mac is a big part of our home.
We finally decided to take the plunge into the crazy and wonderful world "let's have a baby!" in 2009. However, our first pregnancy ended in a heartbreaking miscarriage that brought us both closer together, and gave me an opportunity to reach out to other ladies who've gone through the same thing. You can read all about my journey through that here. I'm stronger & more aware of me because of it.
Shortly after dealing with that heartbreak, we were thrilled to get pregnant in August of 2009 with our little girl. After documenting all.things.pregnancy via this blog, we welcomed our sweet baby, Emeline Kay into this world on May 10th, 2010. And if you're a sucker for birth stories like I am, you can check that out here.
I took the 2010/2011 school year off from teaching to dive into all things mommy. I am in LOVE with this time with her, and love every moment of SAHM'dom. I loved it so much that I decided to resign my job of teaching and be all momma (while maintaining a work-at-home gig). It's been awesome.
2011 was my year. I lost a ton of weight, got healthy, and then? Got knocked up again ;) I'm pregnant with baby girl #2, due August 4th, 2012---our 5th wedding anniversary. We couldn't be more excited. But I don't want to share my anniversary date, just sayin'.
