Guilty Conscious...and I Can't Sleep...

lol...I had fully intended to make my FIRST 2013 post on Jan 1....

2 days later here I am....

lol...better late than never huh???  Good thing I don't make 

New Year's resolutions...  more...GOALS...along with DREAMS...

and every day...is a new chance...to get it right.

So New Year's day was a nice relaxing day off work...

did some crafts....worked on my "Etsy" shop...which is JUST 

getting started (will post the link SOON!)...watched a lil 

football (U of M lost in the LAST few seconds :( ...) and yes...

RELAXED!!!

January....and I'm READY for THIS!!!.....

      
The 303MP out of Jackson....they're coming home SOON!!!

...and I have a very special friend to Welcome Home!!! 

Looking forward to seeing that smile again~

In the news....well...we diverted the 'fiscal cliff' in the 9th hour...

however...looks like due to increased social security taxes...

my paycheck will have less in it this year...
  

   

Oh Well....like so many others... I JUST KEEP TRYING!!!

Retirement...you know...that 'someday dream'...keeps moving 

farther down the road...

BUT...we can still dream!!!  :)

For now...I'll  just savor the 'moments' whenever I can grab

them!!!  

So...here we go 2013!!!  

2012....was a rough year for me....financially...emotionally...

health wise....  BUT...It's a new year....and I'm ready to see what 

the year will hold....

I hope 2013 holds an 'abundance of blessings'...for you...

and for me <3

~Peace..

9/11

WHERE WERE YOU WHEN THE WORLD STOPPED TURNING???

Our Nation Will Never Forget the Tragedies and Horrors of the Fateful Day...

Remember our troops still serving...

 

Prayers for their strength...

and their safe return...

God Bless the U.S.A. Always...

 PEACE.....

ARMED FORCES DAY

Well.... It's been a while since I've been here!!!  Time to update...

February found me with family friends at a 'send off' Military Ball...

Jeff, Ashley, Me & SFC John Adams @ The Yellow Ribbon Military Ball in Jackson

We had a great dinner....great music...lots of laughs...and enjoyed celebrating with about 150 

members of the MP Unit and their families and loved ones...before this group headed off to Texas for 

 training....then on to Afghanistan...

Mike with his special girl....Ashley

...Good Memories and a fun night with the 303RD MP in Jackson...

A few short weeks later...

We said 'so long till we meet again' on a cold winter morning at the unit...

 

BRO'S....Jeff n Mike....

 Me, Mike (SFC John Adams) & Jeff

Moments of Memories...Laughter...Tears...Smiles...

Mostly of Pride.....

Formation before the Unit heads out...

Time for some Good Bye Kisses.....

and Hugs....

Soldier's view from the bus....

Jackson, MI  303RD MP Send Off!!!

PRAYERS

Thank You Troops!

So....Here we are...it is now May 19th...2012...

ARMED FORCES DAY

and We say our THANKS to ALL of our Military Service Men and Women...

Can't help wondering...

Each day...

How my good friend is doing over there in Afghanistan...

waiting for an "I'm OK" post on FB...

an Email...

an occasional call or text...

Wondering if the care packages sent are getting there...

Praying for his safety...for strength...for his 'Team'...

Always grateful for their service...and sacrifices they make for the rest of us back home!!!

Proudly Our Flag Waves.....

May God Bless the U.S.A.

and 

May God Bless our Troops!!!
