Unforgettable Moments

Unforgettable moments

Our first date-he stuck his head thru my car window and kissed me-that kiss changed me forever.

Getting into the office in the morning to find a voicemail on my work phone from him-perfect day.

Him locking the car doors just so he can come around and open my door for me-perfect gentleman.

Me cooking in the kitchen and he walks up behind and puts his arms around me and whispers “forever” in my ear-breathtaking.

Sitting in a parking lot during a storm, watching the lightening in the sky and listening to a romantic song-perfect moment.

Having a bad day and him bringing home a card that makes me laugh until my stomach hurts-unbelievably unselfish.

Sitting in a restaurant, just staring at each other and knowing each other thoughts-perfect love.

This will last forever.

This is the world that I live in now and I promise you, every single day, I thank God for my blessings. Especially him.

These are the moments I live for and what I cherish most. I never take a single second for granted with him. It’s as though he lives to make me happy. And I feel as though I can never do enough to show him how much I love him. But by the grace of God, I’ll spend my life doing so. He is my very best friend in the world and this next year is going to be hard without him. I know I’ll get through it and keep these moments and memories safe in my heart and have so much more to look forward to when he returns.

Please keep Matt and the rest of the 131 Aviation Reg in your prayers. God bless our troops and bring them all home safe to their families.

every day

Sitting in the parking lot of Hardee's today, I turned my radio off and just looked around. I watched the numerous cars as they passed by. I watched clouds roll in from the rain. I just stared off, thinking about this place that I call home. It has been my home for the better part of 20 years. It brings me comfort and peace. I feel safe here. Growing up as a military kid, I never knew what home was. I hold on to that sense of safety and security but not naive to the fact that we do not live in a perfect world. Violence can be seen in the news daily; so much so that I grow tired of watching. It's depressing. This morning was no different. Senseless killing of innocent people has been happening in our world for generations. Why is it only recently that more and more people take notice? Because it's hitting way too close to home and people are beginning to realize that life is precious and cannot be taken for granted. Sadly, most people figure that out when it's too late...

a real love story

I am going to tell you a story. It is a story of love, surrender and peace. There is a hero in the end. But there usually is, right? Right. Four years ago, I met this guy through a friend. I wasn't looking for love at all. Just a companion, a friend, someone to share with. After 13 years in hell, who really wants to look for love again? Not this girl. So this guy, he was pretty nice. A gentleman. You don't come across too many these days. We became friends, talking every day, having lunch and what not. As the days passed, I found myself falling in love. I was scared. Neither of us wanted to get married again and we certainly weren't looking for anything long term. But as the saying goes, the heart wants what the heart wants. Sometimes, God has better plans for us. I remember the day I told him I was in love with him. It is still fresh in my mind. It was night time and we were standing on the front porch having a cigarette. I debated on whether I should tell him or not. ...

The difficult decisions

The most difficult thing ever for a parent to do is let a child go. My son has decided he wants to live with his dad when school starts. Hearing those words made me feel like someone ripped my heart out. He turned 13 this year. I didn't think I had to let him go until 18 but it happened alot sooner than I wanted. He's growing up fast and maturing even faster. I know that he needs his dad in his life to teach him how to be a man. In my mind I know this but my heart is having a hard time hearing it. That precious boy has given me 13 amazing years of his life and I've been blessed with being apart of those years. He wants to strengthen his relationship with his dad and that, in my eyes, is a sign of maturity. His dad will be able to guide him in areas of his life that I might otherwise not be able to simply because I'm not a man. I could be selfish and tell him no, but I can't look him in his beautiful brown eyes knowing that I've denied him something that is so ve...
