crazy summers
So we just got back a couple hours ago from Pensacola, FL and all the beachyness!! The really sad thing was..that faint smell of oil that was in the air. Although you cant see the oil or tarballs the smell was there!! ALso I have never seen so much emotional wawa as I have today. I serious have no idea what is going on with that..There was also some information about some family stuff that has put this FOUL taste in my mouth about some family members who I completely saw in a totally different light, which was a put on by the way. That makes me sick, because I never ever have been anything but me around my family and ya know what? I get this and learn this info...GOSH..ok so t-minus 2 days till our vacation or my insanity trip!! CRAZYNESS..Im excited but not even packed yet...I am soo burnt from the beach that I dont wanna move from the pain. I know im being a baby, but at least about my own personal pain and not about something someone said..touche!! Soo you guys have a great night and thanks for reading....

sorry my mind is just popping tonight!!
So i happened to be watching Army wives tonight...IM TOTALLY addicted! Sad I know, but then I heard Taps. Well, to those who read my blog and are military wives know what happens when that plays. Your heart strings are tugged at in the worst possible way! Then I remember a few weeks ago in our church a man who if you didnt know him would never know was there since he was just that peaceful! An amazing quality, but my dh and I sat behind this man and he was also prior service and when Mark deployed our church laid hands on him. Mr. Beard was suffering from cancer and he was in horrid pain, that never stopped him from coming to church. He might have started tearing up from the pain, but never stopped him from being there which was an amazing thing! So when they laid hands on Mark. I saw Mr. Beard slowly stand up and walk slowly up to the front of the church and laid hands on my dh, which brought me to tears. Not only because my church wrapped their arms around my husband but because this man knew the sacrifice personally he was about to make. So every single sunday or day he saw me he would ask how is your husband? To me that meant the world. A couple of weeks ago he passed away from the cancer that wrecked havic on his life. I attended his funeral for the family and at the end at the interment of his body, they first played the firefighter song and last they played Taps. I was emotionally low that day and happened to emotionally just let the floodgates go. I felt like a child, but the service was a very sweet service. So I just wanted to say to never let those small relationships that you think maybe nothing but to one person may mean to world. For his widow told me at his wake that he thought the world of my husband and he prayed for him on a daily basis..Ok seriously I am done ranting to telling things for tonight..
I dont know if this is going to turn into a rant or a venting, so please just bear with me! After these last couple of days I feel like a doormat!! SO I have this friend who has been through several surgeries and all of course with her dh in iraq with mine. Well, lets start all over at the beginning. While doing some training was happening for our dh we would check in with each other occassionally and well vent about our rough spots. The only thing is I tend to bottle all mine up until a breaking point so it really was mostly her venting, which I had and have no issues with other wives venting..if you need to release tension or vent due to stress then I am always an open ear or a shoulder that you may need to cry on. But one day I happened to have a really tough day and I happened to break down and cry while talking to her. SHE immediately called her dh after getting off the phone with me and told him to find my dh and to call home immediately because it was an emergency. He went and found my dh while in a briefing and pulled him out and told him to call me. My dh and I have this understanding as does anyone in the military life that if they dont answer right away when they get a moment they will respond. That caused a HUGE fight between me and my dh. He calmed down after I started explaining things and well was pissed off. SOOOOO lets speed up just a couple weeks. She has surgery and a massive one without her dh by her side, which at times we all know that will happen! She then goes through several hiccups in her recovery period. Then she had to have another surgery and apparently got some horrible news that was an emergency. So I then attempted to contact my dh and ask him if he had seen hers. He said no and then apparently it got worse well I was really concerned for her. I tried contacting her to see what she needed since she I dont know where she lives. OK SO GET THIS today on her fb page she post that she was planning vacation!! VACATION people!! There is other history inbetween there that I would rather leave out..so I am tired of the dramatic wanna be premadonna tiara wanna wearing prissyness this chica has going on..I almost wanna slap that thing off her head right now! Thats how aggravated I am right now...ok so I am shutting up if any of you ladies have ever had this issue please advice would be nice...thanks!

Cute Pictures...a little bragging moment!!
WHY oh WHY?
So I am packing for my trip which happens to be like a week and half away and well, I am about to nuts! WHY IN THE WORLD DO THESE SUITCASES have to be so BLOOMING small? So while im sitting here watching the world cup opening concert and mentally thinking what all I may need for this trip, I am going to just about as bonkers as anyone else would be. The boys are completely packed, as for me well, thats a different story!
OH by the way did you hear about nelson mandella's granddaughter who was murdered after she was coming home from a fifa soccer concert and that was about one of the saddest things I have heard. A man who forged the forfront for peace in a turmous nation was executed on the land her grandfather fought so hard to unite! Isn't futbol about connected people across their cultural boundaries? Her murder will be hushed for the amount of people who are coming in as to not scare them. I am so proud though, because for the first time in the history of AFRICA the WORLD cup is being held there! An amazing step forward for a countinent that has been plauged by nothing but horrible horrid things. DONT get me wrong there are great things that have happened in Africa, but this is something that Africa has needed for a long time..
