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...

Missing My baby...

My days without the Hubby

 It's been a long week so for. I' ve been so busy with organizing my house and trying to start up a new business. On top of all this trying to deal with John not being here. It's tuff but I'm staying very busy and time is just flying by so fast. I talk to him last nite thru email. He's doing fine. Just ready to get home of course.
One of my projects was to rerange my living room, Here some photo's of what I did.

Honoring My Husband, So proud of him

Here are some thing I did to honor my Husband. An to say think you for all you do.

I sure know how to honor my Husband... LOL!

I'm so tired of protesters

I have something that has been on my mind for a long time, It's about our soldiers and the protesters. I saw on the news where a funeral was going now with all these protesters outside shouting with bullhorns screaming baby killer, Burn his body, and you got what you deserve, also words I'm not repleting . I just don't understand how they can call themselves Christians. How could you do that to theirs Families. What do you think your doing to them. I have to say thanks to all the wonderful bikers who attend these Funerals of our fallen Hero's. They stand up for our soldier and keep the Protesters at bay.
First off you call your self Christians well if your were reading the bible then you would know that Christ would not like what your doing at all. You are the ones that are going against his teachings of love one another. We have fought wars in the pass that were about nothing but Freedom of Religion. And you seen to love those war. I also heard one protester yelling you got what you deserved. One that is judging another human being. God is the only one who can judge. My Husband is serving over seas right now. These people will strap a bomb to there Children for 70 virgins. What is that!!! plus they will go into towns and kill everyone in them then leave their heads on poles as a warning!
When 9-11 happened I stopped and couldn't move. I just screamed we are going to war and my first thought was my husband is going to be leaving. I new from the start. When you protest at these Funerals you might as well spit in our faces and try to make us feel that what our Husdand , wives, childern have had to do, they died guilty of murdering others. It just makes me sick everytime I see it on the News. I really don't know what has happen to this Country, We stand on grounds where blood was shed by our loved ones. I just want everyone to start repecting our soldiers. How can you protest at a soldiers funeral when they were the ones who had to go out and do a job that you were to weak to do yourself! I really pray every night that this stops. I don't want my husband to go thru what other soldiers went thru in the pass. So Just Stop it!!!!!!

To all of our falling heros, May God bless you and your families.
Soldier you may rest " Job well done". You've done your best
Your mission is over, the job is done......

I'm supporter of my husband and all who serve, Thank you the job you do everyday.......

Prayers are needed please..

I'm asking everyone to please pray for my niece, her name is Chloe Lynn Hale. She just turned a year old on Jan. 7,2012. My sister had to carry her to the doctor the other day to have test ran because for about 6 or 7 months she has stay sick with either sinus trouble or chest colds and so on. The test results came back today and the doctor's office called her to bring Chloe back in. They told her that Chloe tested positive for Cystic Fibrosis. She was devastated. See she lost her first child from a rare disorder and he only lived about 30 mins. She also has a little boy  named Allen that is perfect in every way with his health. I don't understand why this is happening to her she is a wonderful person and a wonderful Mother  and would sacrifice anything for her kids. But it's not my place to question why. I just ask God to watch over her and to please keep her safe. She is the only granddaugther out of 6 grandchildren. So she is very special to us. Also she has a smile that will warm you heart just by looking at her. When you see her that is what you notice first ( is her smile). I'm post photo's so you can see for yourself how special this little person is. Please keep her in your prayers.

Our little princess

Her 1st Birthday...

She is so sweet

Those blue eyes and that smile just grabs my heart...

Just another thing that burns me up...

Those of you know who you are , you really need to read this.

I have something on my mind today, I have been reading alot of blogs from military spouses. They were talking about their military spouse and their service to their COUNTRY! Some of you don't approve of the things they say or the words they use ( like we are moving to a new duty station or we are going before the board today and some on) I guess it's the WE you don't like well I do like the word WE, it makes me feel that I am apart of my Husbands Career also. He will even say WE. I feel like we as Military spouses serve right along with them, They call us the SILENT RANKS! An that's just what we are. I mean REALLY people get a life! What is the big deal about how you refer to yourself when it come to your husbands/ wives career. Also what is such a big deal about you wearing his name or his Rank you are showing your support and they are proud when you do " I know my husband is"  I talk to our unit commander about this and he agrees with me. These woman and Men need our support and we need to show it every way we can. We have soldiers Dying everyday to protect our freedom to express ourselves and who are you to tell us we can't. A soldier can't even be buried in peace without protesters showing up at the funerals. I'm going to wear what I want and say what I want to show them all the support I can. YES! you do need to be careful about what you say because you could put them in danger. But this crap is so stupid. I'm sorry but it is. We have enough stress in our lives without junk like this. I'm sure I've made some people mad but that's why it's a free country.
I have a tattoo with my husbands Rank and Name. I got it before he deployed and I'm Da*m proud of it and so is he! My husband and I both live for the ARMY, That's our life and I wouldn't have it any other way...
Another thing that makes me mad is when you have someone who say they are not a military spouse,an their husbands/ wives only serve in the part time military. That's bull, you are a military spouse no matter how often your spouse puts on their uniforms. My husband served 12 years on the part time side and then Transfered to the Fulltime Army Reserves, When you say your not a military spouse you are discressing him/her and the uniform. Face the facts it doesn't matter if your part time or full time when your in a war zone, they are all putting their lives in danger so you can run your mouth. I got to stop here because I'm going to bust a vein if I keep going. You get the point and that is all that matters.

I wear his rank well

My gift to him.
