OUR NEW BEDROOM!

Our new bedroom is gorgeous! We love it so much. It is an eastern king bed......ITS HUGE! Now we have room when the little footsteps come across the house because they had a bad dream and want to snuggle with mommy and daddy! Soon there will be three little ones hopping into bed with us, we cant wait! Also its real nice to have a beautiful and relaxing room for me and my husband to sit in at night after the kids are in bed and talk about our life and how lucky we are. I am excited to share pictures of this with all of you. Lynn i want to thank you for inspiring me to make changes in our bedroom and our lives. Because of those changes we are 100% happier.

Baby Brayden!




Baby Brayden has his first tooth!!! Congrats baby boy, mommy and daddy are very proud of you. He wont let us get the camera close enough to get the tooth but once it shows a little better im sure we will capture an image of it. Until then here he is the night we found his tooth. He is a beautiful baby and hes growing up sooo fast. We love you Brayden!

When my journey started........

My name is Andrea Marie Eargle(Clegg). I come from a family of 6 other siblings. Mary(28) and Aaron(27) are my half brother and sister technically but my brother and sister at heart. Julie(21),Patrick(16),Jillian(8) and Allison(3) are my younger brother and sisters. My siblings mean the world to me. We have our disagreements but we are very close. My mother is an awesome woman. She brought all 7 of us into this world and she raised to be great people. My father is the most amazing man in the world. He is a very smart man and he also raised us to be great people. My father was in the army for 20 years so we have moved around the world and saw things that without the military i may have never seen.

I met the father of my two older children when i was 15. He was the most amazing man in the world and i will always love him. In 2002 I had my daughter at 17 years old. Yes i was very young but i wouldnt trade her for the world. She is the most amazing 6 year old you could ever meet. She made me grow up fast and learn to put another life before my own. She is a beautiful little girl that takes after me. My husband calls her my shadow.

In 2004 i had my son Cody. He is the spitting image of his dad, Joe. He acts just like him and i thank God everyday that i have a little piece of Joe to look at everyday. He is a very cute boy and one day he will be a great man like his dad.

In 2006 i lost the man that i shared almost 7 years of my life with. He died in a car accident and for months i blamed myself and i think i will always hold a little responsibility in my heart. I was a 21 year old stay at home mom with two kids. Him and I had just bought a home together so i had a mortgage, a car payment, and alot of other bills and NO income. So now i had lost the man i love and had all this responsibility to take care of by myself. My whole world cam crashing down on me. I fell into a depression. I couldnt eat or sleep for days. My mother had to take care of paige and cody because i couldnt function. It finally caught up to me and i went to the hospital and found i was suffering from severe insomnia and anorexia. I knew then that i had to turn my life around. I had two innocent lives that i had to take care of. They needed me more then ever and i was letting them down. From that day on i realized i wasnt living for me anymore i was living for them. I found a job and a babysitter and went back to work.

In 2007 God brought me Whitney. Words dont describe what i feel for him. With no questions asked he stepped up to the plate and took the male role in paige and codys life. He showed me the part of me that i lost when Joe died. He brought back the happiness and glow that i always knew was lost in me somewhere. He showed me that i could have a great life and that these events in my life, although painful, made me a very strong woman. With him came his family who i love very much. They are very kind people and i am blessed to call them my family.

In 2008 Whitney and I got married. That was one of the happiest days of my life. I would marry him everyday for the rest of my life if given the oppurtunity. He is the other half that makes me whole. Without him i am missing a piece of myself. I love him dearly and i thank God everyday for bringing him to me.

Also in 2008 i had my 3rd child, Brayden. He is almost 8 months old. I dont know where to begin describing him. He is the happiest baby i have ever met. Watching him grow everyday and absorb the world and everything going on around him amazes me. He is an amazing baby. I love him with all of my being.

We are now in 2009!!! Im sure this will be a great year!!!!
