PEOPLE JUST DON'T GET IT THESE DAYS!

People just don't get it these days. You try to get to know someone or lead a hand and they don't get why you want to help with whatever they need. Before my husbands grandfather passed away he told many stories about the people he grew up with and new through out the years of his life. The story I loved was him telling about him building there home. He said back then if someone saw you working on your home or what ever they would stop and bring their tools out and start working beside you. Barn raising's were the most fun to here him talk . All the people you knew would come and bring food, tools, wood ,etc. and make a day of it. They would eat and fellowship and by the end of the day the barn was up. Today your lucky if you have one good friend who will always be there if you need them. This world now is in such a fast pace that families don't even have time to eat together anymore. When I was little we always went to my grandparents house to eat and watch TV. We always attended family functions. We took time for each other. Now I look at the world and all I see is children who are always in daycare, school, and with a sitter. I see couples getting divorce and have forgotten the love they once had for each other. Babies born without fathers. The fast pace lives mother lead today it's no wonder our babies are born with ADHD and others problems as well. I wish we could step back and look at the years that have pasted and see where we have went wrong to get to where we are now. An Change it! Make a difference in someones life . Make a change and choose to up lift someone else. whether it's a family member, friend, or a perfect stranger. This will be my goal for 2012. It's time for us all to make a difference..... i hope everyone has a wonderful year and is blessed as much as I am....

Here's the love of my life.....

The first photo was taken at mom and dads house a week before John had to report to Ft. Hood, Tx. August ,2011. The second one was take at Ft. Hood,Tx. 4 days before John Deployed.

This is the unit John Deployed with. I'm very proud of him.....

The 1st.  photo was taken at Ft. Hood , the next one was taken at the Alamo. and last is the back of John's unit tshirt. I am so proud of my husband and very proud to be married to a US. Soldier... I love you Baby. See you soon......

Well another day has passed and it won't be long now the love of my life will be back in my arms again. John's R&R will be here before we know it. I'm looking forward to being a couple again. It seems when your husband is in the military that they are completely taken over by the Army. It's not all the time but most of it. You find yourself alone alot and it's hard at times but it's worth it in the long run. Knowing your husband is doing what he loves and you give him all support he needs it's a pretty good life. Since he went full time we have seen alot of places and sometimes when he goes away for business I get to go with him. That is one good thing about not having kids there is nothing to tie you down. I can't wait to see where we will be moving to next. John & I use to be home bodies. But now we like to go places and see things we enjoy life more and our time together. There are things I do miss about Union, Ms. Our land , my flower gardens, and having a garden of fresh vegetables. But we will have that again one day right now this is our life and I love it.
