i have been wanting to create a blog space which will be set aside to stories, thoughts, pictures and laughs as we experience the great joy and responsibility of being entrusted with a child. maxwell and i have great anticipation of what it will be like to welcome our little one into this world and we wanted a space where we could share it with family and friends. i like the idea of being able to share stories, updates, pictures, laughs and tears, as we walk this journey of learning what it means to raise a child and to begin a life together. this will also serve as a way in which people can stay updated on our lives, as max experiences what it means to be a marine and we experience what it means to be a military family. so feel free to drop comments as you check in as much or little as you want!
