Life is Good

I recieved this award from My Camo Colored Life First let me say her blog name is the coolest ever. So how do you pick someone to give a award to. I would like to say all my readers deserve a award. If you are willing to keep a blog going you deserve a award. But atlas that is not the rules. The rules (and you know I am a rule follower).
So this award is going to:
Julie the Army Wife (maybe she will teach me how to attach yellow ribbons to my pictures)
Army wife, Army mom, Army strong, Family strong (because she went with me to my favorite scrapbook store)
Sand Mountain Girl- (can I just tell you her husband has only been in a couple of years and he has already been to Korea without her and is now deployed again)
IT's Twinsanity- because the title of her last post was Welcome to suck town
Day to Day life of a Army Wife because her husband is away at Ranger school and I am sure they could use the encouragement

Pour your heart out

I have so much to pour my heart out about. First I am wondering why a month ago I had 500 visitors a day and now I am down to 300. I think I have become boring. So tell me what can I do to encourage you to come back and visit me.
I also have a heart to tell you that my husband is home and we are loving it. Not to say that we are without issues because we are. My children totally took advantage of dad because they knew he had not checked back in. At first this caused major arguments. Like hubby why would you let them eat chocolate cake for breakfast or why did you let them destroy the house while I was at a meeting. Then it dawned on me. This is not about my husband this is about my wonderful blessings who totally knew dad was tired and would not catch on that they were destroying the house. Oh and the chocolate cake. Who knows what that is about.

Wordless Wednesday-Life now that dad is home
