Shelby

Shelby is our 2nd child! Tyler and I love our dogs as if they were children! Shelby was a stray, that one of the guys on Tyler's boat found in his neighborhood. We had been talking about getting another dog at the time, but didn't know where life was going to take us! Tyler called me one night when he was on duty and asked if we could take Shelby in our home. I didn't know about it at the time because he was on duty that night and we had just gotten Georgia. Finally, he talked me in to taking Shelby in that night and life has not been the same since! We love both Georgia and Shelby lots!

Our Journey across the Country

When moving from Mobile, Al to Sitka, AK, we chose to drive across The United States. When we received our orders and got everything packed up, we drove from Mobile, AL to Lawrenceville, GA. We decided to take a month to visit with family and friends and begin our journey towards Alaska. After we visited all of our family and friends, we decided to head West. It was absolutely the most amazing time Tyler and I had together.

First Time Home Buyers

This was our first home that Tyler and I bought together! It was a ranch that sat on a 2 car garage. It was about 1,700 square feet and sat on an acre lot. We totally gutted the inside and remodeled the house to what we loved. It was amazing! This was located in Mobile, AL. It was very sad for us to leave this house when we were transferred to Alaska.

Our adorable Apartment

This is our first home as a married couple! After we got married, I lived in Georgia for about 4 or 5 months due to the military. Tyler was stationed on a boat and went out to sea shortly after we were married. When he returned from that patrol, I decided I had to move down to Alabama with him. We found the cutest apartment in Mobile, AL. We lived here for about 6 or 7 months and then decided to buy a house of our own!

Georgia

Our first born child! Georgia was the highlight of our lives 2 years ago. We rescued her from a shelter of about 75 puppies. Her large floppy ears and long nose called our names when trying to choose between the puppies.
