Meet Maggie!


Meet Maggie!
She's our newest furry addition to the Patterson family. I've really wanted to get Charlie a playmate and I wanted it to be my dream dog. I thought I wanted a red/apricot goldendoodle but as they get older, their coloring fades. So I found this mini Irishdoodle that's color stays very rich and red. Google an Irish Setter, they are beautifully colored dogs. So Jaime randomly gave in and said I could get my dream dog. I started googling that night (Sunday), emailed a lady, she emailed back Monday morning. Called her, asked lots of questions, pictures sent, and paid for her. By Tuesday night she was shipped to us in Nashville from Wisconsin. 
The night and first week she was home, she was super shy. Didn't want or know how to play with either me or Charlie. But now, she's a running and energetic puppy! She's only had one accident in the camper but other than that, potty training is going well. She sleeps through the night without whining. She LOVES cuddling with us. Charlie shows no signs of jealously or hatred towards her. Charlie wants to play with her and has been super good to her. I'm excited to watch them grow up and old together.

I forgot how much puppies sleep, Charlie just wanted to play with her.








We're smitten with her.



Her coloring looks different in the lighting and with different filters but she's very much so a dark red color. That face...looks like a teddy bear. My mom said she doesn't even look real. ha!

So that's that! We have a new fur baby and we love her!
We may be crazy for having two dogs in a small camper but love grows best in small spaces.

Meet Faith: newest member to the blogging community!


Hello everyone!

My name is Faith.

I'm obviously new to the blogging community and so very excited to see where this goes!
I'm a big fan of Instagram, but sometimes I have more to post and more to say. So this is my solution!



I am a young newlywed whose life is just getting started. My husband and I have big dreams, goals, and plans for ourselves. This will be my grown up diary for myself and a place I get to share everything with you all.





My husband and I are currently stationed at Camp LeJeune in North Carolina. But (soon!) this spring we will be moving to our beloved hometown in Kentucky. We cannot wait! We're trading the tan beaches for green fields!

Jaime is my best friend and he puts up with loves taking pictures with me. ha! But seriously, he's a pretty good sport when it comes to taking pictures and videos with me. We don't have kiddos yet (they will come, just give us a couple years with no deployments or months apart) but we love our fur baby Charlie. We're both very down to earth. We're the type of couple who has Netflix marathons, enjoy yummy food somewhere new and/or local, have date nights that include going to the gym, and more often than not sit on the couch cuddling while playing on our phones (let's be real).

Cute video of when he came home from being gone two weeks.
 

Our future is very uncertain and we can't predict it, but we have faith and trust that God will guide us every step of the way! It's much too scary to try to figure it all without Him.

I hope you all stick around and enjoy the blog. I know I am going to have fun with it and I hope it's a place you'll want to revisit!
