Lots of stuff

Justin came home this weekend and wanted to spend some time with us because he will now start his training to get ready to go back to that big old sandbox that I hate so much!! I think we may go up there in the next couple of weeks to get some of his stuff so that when that time comes it is not so much to do!! He will be leaving for AP Hill soon and then to 29 Palms so it will be a while before he gets to come home again!! :( My heart breaks and yes I cried when he left yesterday...I know we made it through one deployment but the thoughts of another one just breaks my heart!!

We had our company to come in from Kentucky and we had a lot of fun!! This is the parents of Bradley's girlfriend and we have became really good friends!! They are really special people!!

(Charles, Teresa, Me(needing to go on a diet seriously) and Jeff)

Then here are my three plus Tiffany! Never can I just get a picture of them...they always got to be playing!!!


Bradley and Tiffany!!

YOUNG LOVE!!!


So this was a busy weekend but a good one!! My oldest sister moved and due to all I had going on I was not able to help! :( I know she is so happy to be in her new house that she doesn't have to worry about flooding anymore!! I am so happy for her!

I hope that all is well with each of you!!

HUGS, LOVE AND PRAYERS!!!

Stuffy and Sneezy

I first want to say that I am LOVING this weather!! I have been so ready for warmer temps for so long and finally we have had some!!

BUT...there is a problem!!!

About 5 years ago I quit smoking and since then I have had some horrible allergies!! I take 2 Benadryl every night and so from that I have no trouble!! OH...I forgot to take it last night....I am stuff and sneezy!! UGH!!! AND I DID NOT SLEEP WELL!!!! I can't take it during the day because I will be snoozing and then that would cause problems for sleep tonight! But I bet I will try to work in a nap today!!

So my friends...I have not had a good night but I am hoping for a good day even with the lack of sleep and allergy crap!!

I hope that you all have a wonderful day!

HUGS, LOVE AND PRAYERS TO EACH OF YOU!!

Whats been going on?

I have had a lot of stuff going on. As you know I am in school full time and also working 32 hours a week. So my schedule is pretty full.

I had the girls over this past weekend and we had so much fun! It was Jeff's birthday and we had a small gathering and just had a blast!

We took the girls to Dairy Queen Sunday after Church and we had an ice cream and lots of laughing!!

Aren't they precious!!!

And we all know that last year we bought a cow and Bradley showed him in several cow shows but it came time to have him slaughtered and that is what we did!!!

These burgers were YUMMY!!!!

I have a roast on for dinner tonight...I have plenty of meat...over 450 pounds!! We won't have to buy meat for a long time!!

That is about it for us...I have been taking test and doing homework and just been busy!! I hope all is going well for each of you!

This will be a busy weekend...Bradley's girlfriend and family is coming in for a visit!!!

Enjoy your day....HUGS, LOVE AND PRAYERS TO YOU ALL!!!

Happy Valentine's Day!!

Happy Valentine's Day to you all!!

I will be spending the day studying for a test and then off to school. But for dinner I will be with some of those that I love and hold very dear to my heart...Jeff, Bradley and Britani!! I spent the weekend with my Marine and enjoyed every minute of it!!

Yesterday marked the one year mark since the US inserted into Marjah. My son was in the unit that went in and started the take over. It will be on HBO this Thursday...I have watched some clips and can't believe that my son was in all that!!! I am so relieved that he made it back safe and I am so sad to know that he will be going back!!! My heart breaks to think about it! But I know that God is in control!!

You all enjoy your day and tell those that you love, that you love them!!!

HUGS, LOVE, AND PRAYERS TO YOU ALL!!!

Let me just tell you!!!

Well I will start out with this...I have been so sick!! I caught a tummy bug some where and boy did it get a hold of me!!! UGH!!! I have been so sick...but better now!! I am weak and so sore from being so sick! I hope no one here catches it...I have been spraying and cleaning as much as I can so that they don't!!

And then let me tell you....I have had my gut full of the white stuff this year...And we woke up to it again today!! Not a lot and not on the roads just on the grass and trees...THANK GOD!!

I am so ready for the spring and summer time!! I don't think it can get here quick enough!! I wounder if I go buy some flip flops and shorts if it will speed it up any at all! I know that the stores have it out...so I may try it and see!!!

I hope that you are doing well!! My Marine will be floating back in this weekend because...His little brother Bradley went home with him this past weekend and they are coming home...Plus I have the Valentines Banquet this weekend at church!! And if you all remember I was sick this time last year with the same thing...CRAZY!!! But I am better and will be making the sauce tomorrow and this banquet will be as perfect as it always is!!!

Enjoy your day...LOVE, HUGS AND PRAYERS TO YOU ALL!!
