Hey Guys! My Name is Alia, and I am a 23 year old mother of two, wife of a MP (who is currently deployed to Afghanistan) We are living in NM right now because of family being here but our Duty Station is Ft. Hood, Texas. I am a stay at home mom and I love it ( seriously) some days it is very hard but its ALWAYS rewarding, I wouldn't want anyone else taking care of my kiddos.


This is Alijah and Aubree, they are so amazing. Each have such a special personality and I love them so much. Aubree is getting big enough to be able to play with her brother and that is just so awesome to see! I call Aubree "Aubzilla" because she loves to destroy the toys. LOL

My Husband really is such an amazing man. He is a great daddy and a wonderful husband, and an even better soldier, He so loves what he does and is so proud to fight for this country. We met in middle school and were "boyfriend and girlfriend", then went our separate ways because we each went to different high schools, and then my senior year, He came into the coffee shop I worked as a manager at, and I hired him. I had a boyfriend, but I could tell we had a connection. We hung out some but it wasn't until my boyfriend went away to college that Tim and I really started to date, and the rest is history. He really is my HERO.

He'll be mad I put up this shirtless picture, but I just love it so much lol. This was taken right before he deployed. We are anxiously awaiting his return!
So that's me in a nutshell! Don't be afraid to come on over, ask some questions, and get to know us!

White as Snow

IT'S SNOWING!! I love the snow just watching it come down is relaxing, and it feels almost surreal in a way. The snow comes down and makes everything solid white and beautiful. Just like our Heavenly Father does for us, all we need to do is ask him. What an amazing gift he offers to us! Wash away all the old, unwanted, and make us beautiful, the way he created us to be.
It's seems such a simple thing to do- ask and it shall be given, there is just one thing that comes along with asking, you have to be willing to do the work. To work hard at living how he wants us to, be faithful that the Lord will provide ALL of your needs, not on your terms but HIS. But what a great deal! Try hard, do as he asks, and have faith and have Everlasting life. I don't know about you, but I can't think of anything much better than that.
It is hard work, I struggle a lot. I struggle with this deployment, my husband being away, doing the role of both parents, but I know in the end I have someone who will never abandon me, forsake me- The LORD! How amazing what a blessing, whenever I'm in need all I need to do is ask him.
So as I sit I here, my kiddos napping, watching the snow come down, it is just one more blessing I am given, If God is willing to do such beautiful, amazing things to the earth. He surely would want to do even GREATER and more beautiful things in me, his child! What an incredible, Awesome God we have!

3 is a crowd

WOW! Let me just first start by saying I love babies, I would have a million if I could. I love being pregnant, buying maternity clothes, and just love everything about birth. But today I had the opportunity of watching my 2 year old nephew along with my two kiddos, and whoa! It was so ridiculously hard! I'm usually patient and pretty relaxed when it comes to babies but this was one of the hardest jobs ever, trying to keep little A out of the bathroom and big A and Cuz from fighting over toys, and wrestling too roughly, and just all around keeping these boys safe and FED!

I love babies but I'm so not ready for three kiddos, Hubby has been really pushing for the 3rd when he comes home and I tell him how hard this deployment has been on me emotionally, and how tired I am going through the TERRIBLE THREES!!!! ( Don't let people tell you age 2 is hard... it so isn't compared to 3 year olds.) He has agreed that we can just settle into being this family for a while, enjoy the 2 before bringing anymore in. I'm excited for us to be a family again, and I can't wait for Daddy-o to "Meet" the kiddos again. I know God is going to do amazing things for our family and I can't wait to see what is to come.

Oh and PS I totally called my doctor and made an appointment for birth control, its tomorrow :) LOL
