Hey Y’all!

My name’s Mattea Higgins. I was born and raised in Burlington, Vermont.

THIS is my home:

I’m a Registered Nurse, Air Force Pilot Wife, and Doggo Mom to the best pup I know!

I originally created this blog out of college in order to be able to keep my family back home updated on everything going on in my life. However, since then it’s grown into the most wonderful outlet where I share our adventures in family, friends, food, style, home, and LIFE!

But.. enough about me!

MEET MY HANDSOME HUNKY AIR FORCE PILOT HUSBAND, CONOR:

  

Our story began when we were just 16 and 17 years old, dating in high school! As he attended the United States Air Force Academy and I was at the University of Vermont we dated long distance for 5 years! In 2015 he asked me to be his wife, and that’s when our adventure officially began!

On January 14, 2017 we tied the knot- to put it simply, it was THE. BEST. DAY. EVER

Without a doubt, this man is my best friend. We’ve been through it all- good times and bad, tears of joy, tears of sorrow, late night phone calls, hand written letters, deployments, and homecomings! And through it all, he’s the rock. Solid, steady, confident, and strong. He makes me laugh on a daily basis, pushes me to be a better version of myself, and truly is my dream come true. How lucky AM I!?

 

And the glue that holds it all together? Our fur baby, Jaggs!

He’s our 2 year old Vizsla. If you haven’t heard of this breed of dog, you’re seriously missing out! He’s hilarious, a “velcro dog” as they say- always by your side. He’s our running buddy, snuggle machine, and greatest joy! Just 5 minutes with this dog makes you a happier person.

I created this blog as a way to simply record my memories in this crazy life of ours- new beginnings, fresh new changes, and life experiences. SO- Feel free to follow along on this blog as I simply take it a day at a time, embracing all that this unpredictable life throws our way.  What’s in store? I have no idea, but I can’t wait to find out!
