Welcome Home !!!!!

Today is the day that everyone who knows and loves Amy and Kevin have been waiting for, for months. Today Kevin comes home SAFELY from Afghanistan and returns to his newlywed Wife's loving arms.

I don't think I really understood or appreciated what our troops go through when they fight for our freedom untill Caca and Amy both had their husbands go off to war and had to stay home and continue life without them. I will never fully understand the fear and loneliness they go through unless I go through it as well, but I can tell you I am SO THANKFUL of Mr Caca and Kevin's protection of us as a country.

Without wonderful men (and women) like them, I am scared to think what life would be like here in America. It certainly wouldn't be the same without our troops on the line every single day, putting their lives in danger, just to protect ours.

Seriously, think about it for a minute. Our troops, especially when deployed, could, and DO, die, every single day. They put themselves in dangerous situations, stay in horrible living conditions, if you even want to call it a living condition, and really do suffer, FOR US. And most of us take it for granted. We think we are entitled to have people protect us while we sit around on our butts and do nothing. Its not a right we have, but a privileged that all these brave men and women go to battle for us and go through horrible, unspeakable things that they see and do, just for us.

Not only do they put their lives on the line for us every single day, all day long, but they leave their families and friends, for months, sometimes years at a time. And they don't complain. They do it to serve our country. How would you like it if you had just gotten married and your husband had to go away for his job on months on end? Alot of us complain when we can't see our significant others for a few days or a week or two. But yet these men and women do it for significantly longer, and do it for us and they are protecting us.

I know this is a little rambly, but I hope you follow what I'm trying to say. We live in a wonderful country and its made that way by the men and women who sacrifice their entire lives so that we can be safe. Take a minute now and think about it. Think about what they give up for us. And next time you see someone in a uniform, go up to them. Thank them. I've done it before. And while it shocks them, I think its good for them to know that people appreciate and realize the sacrifices they make for us.

God Bless America!!

And Welcome Home Kevin!!

January Recap

  Tap, Tap, Tap. Is this thing on? No, your eyes aren't deceiving you, I'm back blogging after almost a year of not posting anything. I did a month long Prayer and Fasting with my church and abstained from Social Media (more about that to come) and during that time I realized I really missed blogging! So here I am! Clearly I'm rusty at this because I managed to upload my pictures in the opposite order, and I'm too lazy to go through and move each and every one of them, so we are going to look back at the month of January from the end to the start! Let's go! The Last day of January was a busy one. Well for me at least, after spending most of 2022 on my parents couch, inbetween surgeries, doing anything is busy for me. I had a piano tuning for Old faithful, my new to me baby grand, so I hung out in my bedroom while my tuner was there, and worked on my laptop. Before that I had my 1 year Brow touch up with Marissa at Lafayette Microblading. It had actually been over a

This is My Love Story

In the predawn hours of New Years Day 2004 I was faced with a choice. After spending New Year's Eve at a local bar with a friend, I came home and through the events that transpired, I saw clearly a vision of my future. What would happen to me if I continued on the path I had been taking. I had a choice to make and within a split second I knew what my answer was going to be. I grew up in a Christian home. I was saved at an early age. When I was 13/14 on my Birthday Sunday, Pastor Martin preached a sermon about those of us who had been saved at an early age and knowing if your salvation was real or not. I spent the rest of the day and my party tormented because I could not remember what was in my heart when I was younger. That night I gave my life to Christ and knew without a shadow of a doubt that I was his, and going to Heaven. In the years that followed I continued to be very active in church. I played the Piano and was in charge of Sunday night offertory, I was t

Frugal Friday- (Some) Tips and Tricks on how I get the most bang for my buck

(Shoutout to Ollies for the perfect Picture for this blog post) Remember when it was January and I said I was going to blog more this year? Well, it's now December, and I haven't blogged since January so clearly that goal went out the window.  BUT! I am here blogging today to share something I'm passionate about! And that is SAVING MONEY! And spending the least amount of money on things. Listen, the lower the price of something is, the more I like it.  I was waxing poetic about this subject to a friend on Marco Polo this week and decided that I felt the need to share it with the world. So, world, (or the three people who read my blog) You're Welcome. Sidenote: These are just some of the ways I stretch my dollars and get money back from purchases. Some of these have referral codes that if you join from them I get some sort of a reward, and some don't have codes, or I'm just not cool enough to know where to find them. Use the code, don't use the code, but plea
