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.

courage

My life really only started when I turned 30. Sure, that sounds crazy. But there is a significant difference in “life” and actual living. It is having the courage to walk away from something so painful and so toxic. It is having faith that no matter what foot you step out on, God is going to be in step with you. It is taking that first deep breath, exhaling all the negative and nastiness in your life and going forward, reassuring yourself you will never have to look back. And I didn’t. I have this tattoo on my shoulder. I put it there so I’d see it all the time. It’s a constant reminder to me. It says “courage is fear that has said it’s prayers”. I don’t remember how I came across it but it was not long after my brain surgery. That one quote means everything to me. The course of events that has taken place in my life over the last seven years has been nothing short of a miracle. February 17th is an important day to me and one I will remember like my birthday or my anniversar...

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...

surrender

I spent a better part of my life worrying over events of the past that I had absolutely no control over. Because that's who I was. Or at least that's who I defined myself as. A control freak. At age 32, it took that span of my life to realize I cannot control what other people do. Or how they react to situations. Or how they treat you as a person. I once saw a quote that stated, "How people treat you is their karma; how you react is yours". It clicked with me. Revelations come to me at the most unusual times. Yesterday was one of those times. I was driving home from school and all of a sudden, the thought of my mother popped in my head. For so long, I was jealous of other women and girls who had such wonderful mother/daughter relationships. I wanted that so badly for myself but was never able to get there. And as I struggled to get through this week, I couldn't help be think "anyone else's mom would be comforting and supportive." I haven't hea...
