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!!

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...

New Bedroom Decor!

 Every Year my SIL outdoes herself with the gifts she gave us the year before. This year was no exception! She made this amazing picture for me. If you look close all of the pieces of the heart are small pictures of me and my friends! I was amazed! I still can't get over it! I just love it so much!  So I decided to hang it above my bed. I don't have a headboard and I have really felt like my room was lacking something to pull it together. I think this picture does it nicely! And yes, I sleep with a stuffed animal. I'm single, don't judge! I also sleep with 5 pillows. I tend to fall out of bed. They are like my bumpers! HA! Seriously though I just love it and it's so neat to look at all the pics of different friends and stages in my life and remember all of the fun memories! Thanks Liz!!
