Allie's First Halloween!

Church

I was raised in the LDS church, and when I moved to my dad's house, I became inactive. I really do love that church, and have been thinking about going back. Max is not a member, but I think he's warming up to the idea. We follow the religion anyways, so why not just go? It'll be good for us...it wouldn't hurt us to go. Max has heard so many bad things about the church growing up, but my grandma got him a book about the church, and he wants to read it. We'll see how it goes!

1 Month

It's so hard to believe that Max has been gone for 1 month already! It has surprisingly gone by so fast, which is nice. I've been keeping busy, and trying not to think about time. Allie and I will be going to see him in a little over 2 weeks! I couldn't be more excited.

Anxious!

The time that we are going to get to see Max is coming fast! I couldn't be more excited. Allie is going to be so happy to see her daddy. Her eyes light up like Christmas when she hears his voice.

Happy 7 Months!

That's right! Can you believe she is already 7 MONTHS OLD?! I can't believe how fast the time has gone by. People warned me, but I really had no idea. I can only hope that it makes the deployment go by faster.
We love you Allie! Happy 7 months.

Thankful!

We are just so thankful and grateful for all the friends and family we have in our lives! We know some pretty amazing people, that without, our lives wouldn't be the same!

So Proud!

Allie can stand on her own, while holding onto the couch! She still can't crawl, but she's getting close!

Max

We miss him so so much. We can't wait to see him next month! Whenever Allie hears his voice, she gets the biggest smile on her face! I can't imagine how happy she'll be when she gets to see daddy! She is such a daddy's girl.

Traveling

So to help keep my mind off Max being gone, Allie and I going to be going to North Carolina for almost the whole month of November to stay with 2 of our friends. I had planned this trip, not knowing that Max would be getting a 4 day pass at the end of his 45 days in Mississippi. And the 4 day pass just happens to be starting during the time I will be in North Carolina! I will be 20 hours away from him. How can I not go see him if he is that close?!

I am planning on going to see him, however, this won't be as easy for me to afford as the other army wives. The money I spent on my ticket to NC would be awesome to use on the trip to Mississippi! But it's too late for that. I now have to come up with the money to see my honey no matter what. It would really make his year if he got to see his sweet little baby girl and wife again before he left for Iraq!

Sick Momma

That's right. I got the flu from miss Allie today. It was nothing short of miserable. Trying to clean up her puke while trying not to do the same! (I apologize if that was too much information) I don't know how single moms do it! I really could have used Max's help today. Please Lord...never let that happen again. I will be ever so grateful!

Model Baby

Allie is quite an eye catcher everywhere we go. So it's no wonder she was asked to be a model for a local photographer. (This is not our normal photographer) 
I am thinking that I should be putting her pictures out for big modeling agencies! She could be the next huggies or pampers model. Anyways, here are just a few of the pictures from her modeling session. Enjoy!
