Fact is

The next time you want to complain about the military, stop and think very hard about the sacrifices they make!

Clouds and rain....

Clouds and rain is what I see when I look outside. At first I was bummed and slightly cranky then I though, Why not make a movie night of it? So that's what we're doing. Pizza and movies, lots of snuggles!!

Had an awards ceremony this morning on base for volunteers. It was fun, a little awkward to be receiving an award. But still fun.

Tomorrow is the big day, the First Army Ball. I'm really excited. I have my ball gown, shawl, shoes, jewelry, someone to do my hair. Babysitter for over night, hotel room and an evening with friends and hubby planned.

Also started the classes for finalizing the adoption. With any luck Clay should be Jake's adopted dad by the end of the summer! Thank goodness!

So that's a brief update on us!!!

Busy Busy...Spring is here!

Good morning,

Its way to early on a Sunday to be awake but here I am! Anyways, we just got back from Idaho where we visited my family. Had a total blast, but wasn't thrilled when it snowed on us. Haha go figure only in Idaho! Seeing my family and friends made me really homesick. It was especially hard to leave my grandmother. But I'm very excited she's coming for a week in the summer.
I've been so lonely this past year, that it was really nice to go home and see my family. It's been a rough road to fit in here, and I'm still working on it.

Jake has started night time potty training, its gonna take some work so we'll see how it goes. He seems really excited about it.

I also bought some flowers, gonna try my hand at planting a flower garden, but we'll see how that turns out. I tend to have a "black" thumb. But hopefully they will survive.

So that's the newest update, nothing major here.

What does your life say about you??

I read a few comments on a family members FB blasting Christian's and I had to stop and think. What came to mind, was a defense of my faith it was lyrics to a song. that made me realize that it's not that hard to believe why people mis-trust Christians so easily.

The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today is Christians
Who acknowledge Jesus with their lips, then walk out the door
And deny him by their life style.
That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable.

So my question to you:

What does your life style say about you?

Wonderful Life....

I live a wonderful life, and I enjoy it so very much. Its a wonderful life!

It's been a while...

Sorry all, its been a while since I've updated.
Not alot of change here really, the same ol' same ol. Jake's been doing very well in school and is excited about being in Kindergarten next year. I'm doing well the usual alot of gaming hahaha...Clays been good, working and spending time with family.

Considering flying to Idaho in March since Clay will be gone during Jake's spring break and I'd really like to see my family.

Crazy...

It has been crazy busy. And it's taken me some time to recoup from it all. We had an incident at Christmas that shook my faith, my marriage and my trust in people. But with God's help, great friends and a loving husband I'm getting back on my feet.

God's grace has been amazing, and it surrounds us every day. We get to choose how we live, and I want to live my life praising him....how about you?
