Today I stand before you to give you thanks and pray, For so many things that I may find so hard to say everyday. I've been blessed by you in so many ways of which you already know, I'm so sorry the days go by so fast and forgetting about you grows. So today I'd like to take a moment and thank you for being my friend, and to pray for those who do so much who may need a heart to mend. To

It is the beginning of May 2009, the smell of rain is filling the air, and the clouds over this beautiful island are rolling in. It is about 11:30a.m. and soon the rain will set in and last for not just the rest of this day, but will continue almost every day through the rest of spring until summer begins. I decided to take my second trip to Puerto Rico by myself while my husband was

   Today I cant help but to remember the date July 26th, 2009.  It's the day my husband finally arrived back on U.S. soil, not to return to the dreadful place known as Iraq.    I had been waiting almost a week after arriving in Alaska because the ETA was never confirmed and ofcourse with the military things are always changing, so I waited with other wives who were waiting as well.  The days

You should know without question how much I care, by telling you I love you and I'll always be there. You should know without question about how I feel, With my expression of hugs you can see I'm for real. You should know without question I will always give us a chance, With my sweet touch of tenderness and the overflow of romance. Without question I'm yours - your woman and your friend,

I was trying to find some information about a military spouse problem I was having and came across this letter. I dont remember where it came from, or who wrote it, or where I found it, but I saved it in my computer to share with my family and friends, and now I would like to share it with others who really dont know what we go through, or dont quite know how to express their gratitude to the

Things NOT to say to a military wife...1. “Aren’t you afraid that he’ll be killed?” (This one ranks in at number one on the “duh” list. Of course we’re afraid. We’re terrified. Maybe next you can go ask someone with cancer if they’re scared of dying.)2. “I don’t know how you manage. I don’t think I could do it.” (This is intended to be a compliment. Though, its just a little annoying.)3. “What

Today my morning just didn't start off as good as I had hoped. Every morning I wake up and pray to have a good day...one that's not so hard to deal with, emotionally, you know? My husband has been in Iraq for almost nine months now. Sure, he had a break for Rand R for two weeks around the end of December, but for all of my other fellow Army wives, we all know that 2 weeks is no where near long

I'm glad a fellow Army wife put me on to writing about my life on line, and publishing it so that others might be able to understand that they're not alone. I wish I would've done it sooner, it might have helped me cope with the deployment situation a little bit better, and maybe would've found some support from interested readers. So now I'll be using this blog site as my realease...a realease

Back again....another day of my life almost over, and on to tomorrow. I was able to talk to my husband today, and it was just what I needed. I hadnt been able to talk to him for a few days, so the couple hours I had on line with him were very well spent. He did however, bring something to my attention today. He asked me to buy him some ACU's. As though he didnt already know, I told him I

I probably should have started doing this several months ago, but I guess "better late than never" right? The first 5 mos or so that my husband was in Iraq, I couldn't even find the time to tie my shoes, let alone write in a diary or journal of some sort. I have two babies, a 1 yr old and a 2 yr old. No, it wasnt planned, lol. But never the less, I am truly blessed to have such healthy, handsome,
