I just had to tell my wonderful husband HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! I love you baby and I'm so grateful for you in our lives. You are a fantastic husband and a wonderful, sweet father to our girls. I hope you have a great birthday even though you're in Iraq. Oh and now, you too, are old!! :)
On a side note to a birthday wish, I will brag about you... We found out about 2 weeks ago that Travis made the E-7 list. That means that sometime in the next year or so Travis will be promoted to SFC (Sergeant First Class or E-7.) I can not begin to tell you how proud I am of him. He has done so well in the Army and made rank at an incredible speed. I smile everytime I think about it. I would be proud of him no matter what but, what an accomplishment.
One more bit of info... A few people have asked me if we know where we are going and I realized I don't know that I have posted it on here yet. In November we will be reporting to Ft. Benning, GA. We will be heading to AZ sometime in September for leave and then to Georgia. Travis will be a Ranger Instructor which means 3 years of NO DEPLOYMENTS!!!! We're very excited and hope we get lots of visitors! :)

About Me
- The McBride Family
- Travis and I were married in 2002. He is in the Army and I am blessed to be a stay at home mom who loves doing a little hair and my newest obsession, running! We lived in Germany for 7 years (and loved every minute) where we were blessed with our 2 daughters Alexis (2005) and Ryan (2008.) In 2009 we moved to Fort Benning, GA (which we also really enjoyed) and were blessed again with our son, David (2012.) Shortly after David was born we were thrilled to be moving again to Hawaii where we have been soaking up every minute possible of the great outdoors. We absolutely love life and love our little island of Oahu. This blog is mostly my way to journal and show our family and friends what we are up to!
