Ok ok ok... sooooo

20 years ago today:

This goofy awkward girl



.. somehow talked this super smart, handsome boy



into marrying her. Poor thing had no clue what he was signing up for.
Seriously anyone who can deal with me day in, and day out for 20 years deserves some sort of metal, actually I do believe it's one of the precursors to being canonized a saint.



20 years of deployments, navy moves, schedule changes, duty nights, late nights, and early mornings.

20 years of kids who say embarrassing things, run jog-a-thons backwards and reveal all your quirks to their teachers. 20 years of band concerts, sports practices, sick babies, sassy teenagers, and now adult children.



20 years of new friends, and tearfully goodbyes. First breathes, and final moments.

20 years of memories. 20 years of adventure. The good, the bad and all things in between.

Through all the ups and downs, I wouldn't change a single thing, because it's part of who we are and I love who we are.

As we walk into this next adventure, I'm so glad to be walking through it with you.

I am blessed by our past and excited for our future. I love you so much and I always will.

Because we are military wives

By -
We spend 4 hours with our husbands in a uniform shop, followed by two hours looking for the right size of boot, because any time together right before a deployment is still time together. We try not to take the little things for granted for they become the biggest things when we don't have them any more. We stand in tears on piers, and are comforted and comfort women we've never met, because we all are feeling the same way. We cringe a little when people say "your so strong" because inside we are dying. We put on a strong face for our kids, so we can dry their tears, and calm their fears, and hide away that we have the same ones. We sleep alone most of the time, we worry, we cry, and we get up the next day and face life head on. We try to smile and brush it off, when people who don't know any better tell us how lucky we are because of all the "benefits."Medical, housing et al.. Not having to pay for a physical really doesn't make up for all the mi...

parental poll

By -
A friend made a comment today that got me thinking. (dangerous I know) So, I was wondering, (if ya'll wouldn't mind chiming in) at what age your kids either did or will do the following activities... ok so survey says..... How old was/ or will you child be when you let them.... play outside with no parental supervision- sleep over at a friend's house - wear make-up - have a bed time later than 7:30 - go on a date - there are no right or wrong answers here, just curious.  Everyone is different and what works for one may not work for another, so no answers will be judged.. I am just wondering where I fall in the averages :)

I have a friend

By -
I have a friend who I am blatantly stealing this blog idea from. She inspires me, even when she doesn't know she's doing it. She balances me, she isn't afraid to tell me I'm being ridiculous, and loves me when I am. I have a friend who makes me laugh always. She's colorful, in personality and language, and has a heart of pure gold when it comes to her friends and family. I have a friend who I like to live vicariously through, the things she does, amazes me. I have a friend who is beautiful inside and out. She shows caring and compassion in times when I am not sure I could.  I have a friend who has been by my side forever, and I know she will always be right there (even when miles separate us) I have a friend who amazes me with her courage. She looked straight into the face of death and said "not gonna happen", she is strong, she is brilliant she is a true survivor. I have a friend  who has shown me how to walk through the tough parts of life.  ...
