MOPS

I'm Alisha Hughes. I am married to the always charming, and rather dashing, Scott Hughes. He swept me off my feet our junior year at ONU and we could not help but get married shortly after graduating from college. A couple of months after getting married we moved to Valparaiso so he could work at VNC, and we have been blessed by our church ever since. I first became a mommy on February 16, 2006 when we had our son, Preston. I joined MOPS immediately because a friend told me I should. I had no idea, at the time, how difficult being a mother could be and I had no idea how strongly I would need MOPS for support and encouragement as the months went on. I have faithfully attended ever since...first because it sounded like free babysitting, and now because I just love it and truly hate to miss it. We had another baby 6 months ago, sweet little Keely. We got our boy and our girl. Preston and Keely are fabulous children. We adore our darlings and base our lives around them, but I am always very quick to relate to any moms out there who just want to say, "Being a mom is hard work, doggone it!"
