Girls Weekend - South Carolina Style!

Stoney and I got married in July 2006, and soon after, I found myself in a whole new world. This new world was located in Killeen, Texas. I was suddenly an Army wife, was working on starting up my photography business, didn't know many others in the area, and my husband would be deploying in 4 months to Iraq. Insert Kate, Kerri, Karissa, and Meredith. I thank God for these girls. They too are/were Army wives and were also at Fort Hood. We all immediately became great friends. I always knew that each of these girls was just a short drive or phone call away. We all helped each other through that (extremely long) deployment.

In 2008, we all started to go in different directions across the US. Each of us currently lives in a different state, but since we've been apart, we have made it a point to stay in touch. We have also made it a priority to get together once a year. So far, we've made this happen for the past three years. In 2008, we met in Nashville, TN... 2009 - Houston, TX (specifically the Woodlands), ... 2010 - Columbia/Charleston, SC. I am so thankful that we've been able to continue this tradition. This year it's going to get tricky; one of our five will be in Alaska, and there's a chance another will be in Europe! My fingers are still crossed.





Just last week, our southern friend from South Carolina with the sweetest accent ever, had her first baby! We are all thrilled for her. Here's a photo of Meredith a couple months before she had Michael Mae.


Jumping shots are ALWAYS a good time!




Love to all of you.
