Aloha & Welcome!
My name is Kellie Waite and my sidekicks are my husband Shay and son Kolbey. So, A little about us... I am from a little southern town in NC and my hubby is from WV. I am a busy little hairstylist, I host custom wood parties by Waite&CO as well as a Paparazzi jewelry consultant. I'm your loud and crazy ball mom, church goer, decorator, and party throwing lady! But at the same time I can be a complete home body, and my definition of "Netflix and chill" is exactly what it says... My husband is quite the opposite, he's a introvert, a Yankee and a little socially awkward. I suppose you could say he is the ying to my yang because we are complete opposites but somehow work. I am extremely proud of him and his accomplishments. He is in the military and the reason why we live on the beautiful island of Oahu, HI. We met in NY through some friends of ours and I can't say it was love at first site. :) But before we get into that let me back it up several years...
So I mentioned I have a son... Kolbey. He is not my husbands biological child and this is where my fertility story begins. I was married before Shay to my son's dad. We had no issues getting pregnant with Kolbey, actually it was very much so a surprise. When Kol was about a year and a half myself and his dad divorced. A few months before, I went for my yearly checkup and found out I had several cyst on my ovaries. I went back several times to be monitored but I was still having lots of issues. After a while of treatment, blood work and exams I found out I have PCOS and more than likely endometriosis. PCOS stands for poly cystic ovarian syndrome, in other words you create lots of cyst, and rarely ovulate, if at all.
My doctor went on to tell me that I may not be able to have anymore children without fertility meds. At the time it wasn't a big deal. I was going through a divorce and always wanted my children close together so I just knew I wouldn't be having anymore children because of the circumstances. Speed it up several months and I meet my current husband, Shay. I was sooooo not looking for anyone to date. I was actually very against it. My best friend married a soldier and her husband had just got back from a deployment with Shay so that's how we ended up meeting. Later on i remember telling him that there was a possibility I may never have anymore children and even if I could I didn't want them. We met in the month of September and I finally let him meet my little guy in the summer of the next year. I was relieved and terrified all at the same time because my son was crazy over Shay and you could 100% see that Shay felt the same... My life for once in a very long time felt normal and semi complete.

Fast forward a few years...
Shay deploys, we had talked about marriage for a while but I was just too independent and scared. I had a business that was becoming very successful, a house that was paid off, and friends and family i loved and spent a lot of time with. But in the other view, I had a boy friend that I was flying back and forth frequently to see and a child that adored him... I didn't want to give my life up for the Army. I had not enlisted and I didn't want to give up my dream for my husbands military dedication. But once I said my goodbyes when he deployed my heart was crushed, I knew then he was supposed to be my husband. While he was on the later part of his deployment he found out he was going to be stationed in Hawaii. Now most girls thought i was crazy for saying heck no I'm not going! I thought to myself, i was almost onboard with moving to NY and then you throw a curve ball and want me to pack my house and kid up, give up my family and business and move 4600 miles away to tiny island in the middle of the pacific? A few months after he come home from his deployment i decided i was Pretty sure i was ready... he come home in July and we were married in November of the same year.

My husband loves my little boy unconditionally, they walk alike, talk alike, actually most people that we have met along the way had no idea that Kolbey wasn't my husbands biological child. From the beginning my husband let me know that if I didn't want anymore children or if i was unable to have anymore that Kolbey could be enough for him. Less than two months after we were married we arrived on the island on Oahu... And that starts a whole new chapter...
