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!

dusti-coacher

My name is Dusti Coacher. I was born in Florida and lived there for a majority of my life. I spent most of my childhood annoying my two older sisters and playing outside (mostly in the dirt). As I got older, I started to do more girly things like play with Barbie’s, but I still love to play in the dirt from time to time. My Mom and Dad are wonderful; I hope that I can be half as good at parenting as they are. My parents, sisters, nephews, and the rest of my family are still in Florida; thanks to technology we are able to remain close while I am away from them. I lived in FL until about three years ago when I moved to North Carolina with my husband, Ryan. We currently live in Jacksonville and will be here until Uncle Sam moves us to a new area. I recently graduated from school where I studied to be an esthetician; I have always worked in the spa industry and love skin care. I am currently working at home as a wife and mom! Ryan and I welcomed our first baby to our family in mid September! It is safe to say that our lives have changed tremendously since Braylin arrived, but we would not have it any other way. When I have time, I like to play board games, read, relax at the spa, and of course spend time with my family and friends. I spend most of my days changing diapers and playing with our two babies, Braylin and our dog, Layla. Layla is a Weimaraner and spoiled rotten; she is adjusting to not being the center of attention pretty well. I enjoy being part of the MomTalk community. I look forward to learning about all of you and sharing our experiences with one another!
