Hey yall! Sorry I disappeared for a few days but I was soaking up every minute with Sam that I could! It is amazing having him back. It definitely felt a bit surreal for both of us, especially since it was such a new place to him. He loves the house and he loves the little town we live in. We drove around post and he is checking in this morning and starting work! I just wake up at night and look over with the biggest smile on my face that my husband is finally sleeping next to me. I can’t get enough of him.

We had a father’s day cookout with our neighbors  yesterday and it was so much fun. We just realized how blessed we are to already have great friends right next door.

I also felt like I should share the extent of our conversation about the boy’s name:

Me: “Babe, I really do like Daughtry.”
Sam: “Ok. You can call him Daughtry.”
Me: “Seriously? That was easy. Wait… what are you going to call him?”
Sam: “Something cooler. Something that his friends and I will call him. Then all his teachers and other not fun authorities can call him Daughtry.”
Me: “Nice, you and your stupid lawyer tricks.  I’m still calling him Daughtry. And I’m totally fun.”
