Justin and I have been married since 8/9/08. We were former high school sweethearts who met back up years later and…. Well the rest is history. I love him with all my heart though I may not always display it the best. He is my best friend and I know he always is there to catch me or call me out. I try to be his biggest cheerleader and be there when he needs an ear. We just fit that way. 
Not long after we were married, Justin wanted to get back to doing what he always dreamed of, fixing aircraft. He needed to return to school to do it, but I had his back and he had enough determination to give his family the best he could. We knew it would not be easy but over all, looking back, it was the best choice. He excelled in school, passing his classes with flying colors all while holding down a full time job. I am still in awe of the man I am able to share my life with when I think about how hard he has worked for us. In Nov. of 2010 he completed his last class and in the summer of 2011 he finished his last federal exam and was able to receive his A&P mechanics license. I am still so proud of him for following his goals! He started working for PHI and though it was an adjustment to make to go from having him home every night to every-other week, it works. He is happy and so it makes me happy. I know he will continue to achieve all the goals he sets for himself. 
We started to not prevent pregnancy from the very start of our marriage. Due to ummmm personal issues, we knew getting pregnant was not going to be easy for us. LONG LONG LONG story short, we found Dr. Hardey and he was super supportive. After 2 months of Clomid we got the best anniversary gift EVER!!!! On 8/7/11 we found out we were expecting!!! We literally laughed, cried, freaked, jumped, and about a million other emotions I can never begin to describe. I don’t think either of us stopped smiling for days. It was SOOOO hard to keep it a secret, but some how we managed. On 8/25/11 we saw our beautiful baby for the first time, though it looked like a blinking dot, it was the most beautiful thing I had ever laid my eyes on. The love for our child only continued to grow. Justin came to almost every appointment and every ultrasound. We still gush when we hear that strong and steady heartbeat. Finally on 12/14/11 our shy little one opened those legs just long enough to determine we were having a BOY!!!!!!!!!!! We know Noah Dean will be the blessing we had prayed so hard and so long for. He will never be able to doubt the love we have for him and how much we wanted him.
