I Dream....

I dream of a day when this world will know peace, I dream of the day when my husband doesn't have to go away. I dream of a day. When our children can play outside without the worry of someone trying to hurt them. I dream of the day when Families mean what they use to each other. I dream of the days when things were simple. We have all forgotten what we mean to each other or what it's like to have dinner together on a Saturday afternoon when your growing up. Everyone you love is there. What ever happen to those days. I find myself thinking about those days. Families now seem to go there own way. They forget to take time with their family and Friends. Their children miss out on the love we share with our family because there's no time for get together or time to really get to know each other. I myself have cousins I haven't seen in years. They all have children now that I have never met. We all grew up together but over time we went our own ways. I really miss the days when everything seem so simple.....

Missing my Soldier

  I have been really missing my SOLDIER lately. We have talked on the phone and thru email, but it's not the same. A miltary wife has to scarifice alot for their husband's career. I think what I scarifice the most is the way I feel when I can wrap my arms around him or the way his lips feel when I press mine to his. It's Just those little things for me that I miss the most. Sometimes when I'm sitting  in the Livingroom I can see him in his recliner watching T.V. Those are the days that it's so bad you just want to see the day away. An I have to admit I have done that more then once.
   John's been gone for 7 months now and has 4months to go. Over time it has gotten easier to get thur my day. I have openned a business on ebay, and alot of other things. So now time flys by. I can't seen to find enough hours in the day now, But it has made me feel so much better. I have wrapped my life around John for so long but I always felt I needed something of my own. Now I can do both.  John said he was very proud of me and that made my whole year. He is a wonderful Husband. He's sweet, kind and very loving. We have been through hard times and made it out with our love still in tacked. I will leave this world one Day , but I will leave loving him.......

I Love You Staff Sergent Skinner

Our New Son...

Well we have a new member of our family. He's 4 weeks old and cute as a button. His name is Dollar Billy Skinner. The name Dollar came from the name of John Waynes Horse. and Billy is after my dad. Sorry daddy. He has the saddest little face you have ever seen. Festiss is his daddy So I guess that makes me a grandmother. lol. I haven't told John yet he's a new father. I think I'll wait cause he can't kill mefrom thousand miles away for bringing another one home. LOL. Here are some photo's i took of the little guy.

Happy Birthday to my Mom!

March 1, is my mom's Birthday. I'm making plans to go to Meridian, Ms. ( where she lives) and we are going out to lunch and Shopping, It's become a tradition for us to spend the day together. It's our special time. I didn't get to do it last year and I felt so bad, So this year is going to be great. I don't tell her often enough how much she means to me.
 My whole life I guess you could say I was a Papaw & daddy's girl. But as I've gotten older I have really gotten to know her in so many ways she was always a wonderful mother and always worried for her children.  She never wanted to see us get hurt for any reason. There was a really bad time in my life and I didn't think I would make it thru but there she was her arms wrapped around me tight telling me it was going to be okay. She and Dad have always been there when I needed them. I thank God every day for them both.
  Mom has always had a heart bigger then she was. I remember growing up Dad and her bringing children home because their parents maybe having problems or sick and they would take care of them for awhile. I remember one day they went to work and came home that afternoon with a new Son, an we've had him ever since. That's the type of person she is, she has so much love that there is room for everyone.
  I wish I could be more like her, I love you very much, I look forward to spending the day with you...........

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!!!!

To Love A Soldier

To love a soldier is to me the toughest job there is. You have to be strong at all time. Preparing for schools , Training Camps, and Deployments. It's a non stop roller coaster ride. The time you are able to break down is when your alone because you don't want to worry him. You wake up every morning next to him, Knowing it's another day of him wearing the uniform that he is so proud of. Of course I'm very proud also. But there are days when you want to look at him and say " please don't put it on, I just want you to be my normal husband and for us to be a normal family for one day.
See that's the thing with military families we are not your everyday normal families. We are always making sacrifices in one way or the other, I like the fact that the Military calls us the Silent Ranks because that's what we are, we vent , get mad an no one hears us. I depend on my family to help me get Thur like many other military spouses do. But what about the ones who have no one. Those women and men are the true silent ones. My heart goes out to them and I support them 200%.
Ever since my husband decided that this was to be his career. I also jumped at the chance without really knowing the sacrifices I was in for. It's been a long and hard road to go down. An believe me when I say I wouldn't change it. I'm very proud of him and the job he does. He's my rock and I am his.
If I had to give advice to someone who's new to the military life it would be to take it one day at a time and always expect the unexpected. Never make plan to far ahead, Because they always change. An last, Love your soldier more everyday...
