Laura Waller

My name is Laura Waller and I attended Appalachian State University. After college I moved to Washington DC where I taught Kindergarten. The best part of my time in DC was meeting my wonderful husband Jacob. After enjoying all the excitement of DC, we moved back to Eastern North Carolina, where I continued teaching. After trying for a while to get pregnant and meeting with infertility doctors, we welcomed our first child, Elliana, into the world. Elliana means “my God has answered” and she certainly is our answered prayer. We decided that I would stay home to be with Elli full time. When Elli turned one year old, I decided to cheat a little on the “stay at home” gig and take a part time job working with refugee families in the school systems. That job will end in the Spring of 2012 and, as timing would have it, our second baby is due in May. At this point in time, my days are consumed with keeping up with Elli (which is harder than it sounds), working, trying to find exciting activities around Eastern NC for our family to experience, an occasional work out, and honestly - an occasional nap. I know things are certainly going to change in our house and in some ways that makes me a bit nervous so I am always excited to get advice from experienced moms!

I was born and raised in Lakeland, FL. Growing up I participated in many activities but the one that took up most of my time was gymnastics. I was a competitive gymnast for 12 years. When I got into high school, gymnastics was pushed to the back burner and my main focus was volleyball. I excelled and received many awards throughout my high school years in volleyball, which also included a few offers to large universities with full ride scholarships. I decided to stay close to home and go to a local State University and play volleyball. I received my AA in Public Relations/ Communications. Currently, I am taking online classes that will be put towards my Bachelors Degree. I met my husband while we were both working in retail. About a year after meeting, the Marine Corp became part of our lives. He is with an Infantry Battalion that is currently deployed overseas. A few days after his departure, we found out we were expecting our first child. I am currently 21 weeks pregnant with our baby girl. We also have two “fur” babies that keep us quite busy; Daisy and Scooter. Daisy is a Greyhound/ Lab mix and Scooter is a Hound mix. I enjoy reading, being outside in the wonderful sunshine, going out on our boat, fishing, and spending quality time with my husband. This is a very exciting time for me and I look forward to sharing my thoughts and feelings with you.
