Let the Fantasy Football begin!

Team Victorious Secrets & 

Team Afghanistan Maquet 

are ready to take The Best League Ever!! by storm. We are prepared to kick some major Fantasy Football booty. 

Every year Mike & I play Fantasy Football with some of Mike's friends from college. The winner has a chance at     taking home a little cash at the end of the season so this is serious business. It is not the same this year without being able to taunt Mike from across the living room but I am still looking forward to a competitive Fantasy Football season!

Ethan's First Day of School 2011

Hey I am just glad I got a picture at all :P

He does this a lot and it is cute every time!

My favorite time of year is FALL!

I could hardly wait for September to put up all of our Fall and Halloween decorations. Just a couple more things to do but there is a sneak peek :) I really love this time of year, now if it will just cool down here in Tennessee I could break out those cute Fall sweaters ;)

My latest project!

Our living room has been lacking something and I could not just figure out what... Then it hit me! My latest project, our living room is now complete :)

I also rearranged the living room furniture, it feels so much more open now :) Really love our house!

The view from Mike's recliner, I think there will be complaints :)

Fort Campbell is the home of the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), and is located approximately 10 miles (16 km) from downtown Clarksville, straddling the Tennessee-Kentucky state line. It is officially Fort Campbell, Kentucky due to the fact the base U.S. Post Office is on the Kentucky side of the base; the majority of Fort Campbell is within the state of Tennessee.

My MBA Graduation!

Can I get a Woo Woo?!?!

I joke that for the girl who didn't want to finish High School I have done pretty well, but seriously I had no desire once upon a time to even finish High School. I can remember the moment when I decided education was important but I never imagined I would ever actually finish my Bachelors degree and for sure never would I attempt my MBA. It was October 2008 that I started classes. I had met this really amazing guy (you all may know him) that encouraged me to give it a try and was sure I could do it. He was going after his dream no matter how crazy people thought it was. So, I went for it and through Mike's training and flight school, Ethan's illness and treatments, the passing of my brother Mike, working full time and then some, getting married, and having a baby I did it! On July 23rd I walked across that big stage and was handed my Master of Business Administration. Mike encouraged me and and my brother Mike inspired me. Now all I can think about is starting a PhD program when both the boys are in school.

Summer 2011

Memorial Weekend the boys and I, along with my awesome sister, made our trek across the United States from Tennessee to Utah. Being in Utah for the summer afforded us so many opportunities to go to family events that we otherwise would not have been able to do.

The first event being my Dad's 67th Birthday!

We went to the Hogle Zoo a trillion times!

Went to a Slip n' Slide party @ Kama & Amy's!

Saw Mailei in the Layton 4th of July Parade!

Evan & Mikey became the best of friends!

Mikey turned 1 and had a fabulous Super Hero party!

I did my first ever relay mud run with our friends Aaron & Amber!

Went to see Kenny Chesney with my sister where we ran into our friend Shannon!

And lots of family gatherings just for the fun of it!
