Rescue Dogs

I love our dogs.  They came to us from a amazing rescue as adults.  They make me feel safe. Hope is not feeling well today.  There is no faking a illness in our house. If you are sick then a dog is probably on your lap.    I know everyone wants energetic puppies. I urge you to consider a rescue dog. These dogs have changed our lives for the better. And on a side note they encourage us to sweep and vacuum daily. 

The End of our Volleyball Year

Our volleyball season is over. As much I do not like the late night pick ups I am going to miss hearing stories of games. We really do have a wonderful volley ball team. This girls have really bonded. They have a amazing coach who has dedicated so much of his time and heart to our girls.  Tonight was the sports banquet. This is a time to talk about the year and say thank you to our amazing coaches. The dress code was church clothes. That did not go over well with my beautiful daughter so she bought a dress.  I love this child and how she is herself.  I pray this never changes. 

Hurry Up and Wait

I know he wants to get a job, I know our bank account says he needs to go back to work but man I will miss him making breakfast on a regular basis.   This retirement life is kind of nice. I wake up with my husband and go to bed with my husband.  I do ask you to pray with us as lots of descisions are being made over the next few months. Where do we accept a job at, do we move, does he go back to school. Do we start home improvements or just clean out for a move? Hmm, I do not function well in the hurry up wait life. 

Dating Like Teenagers

My husband and I do not get away often so when we do we have fun. We turn into kids again. Sometimes my husband decides I need to learn a new skill. Tonight he taught me how to make a paper airplane.  Of course I had to go to the entrance to see it if it works.  I think there is something freeing about being in a different town where no one knows you. Sometimes you just have to have fun together. I remember one time about ten years ago we had a sword fight in the middle of a amusement park. If I remember correctly (i rarely do) I won that fight.    What are your favorite dates with your spouse and how often do you get away together?

No Apology Needed

Dear man in the gas station parking lot,    I am so grateful for my husband who has fought to keep you safe. So that you can come up to him and call him a sorry ????? And tell him the war is over.  I want you to know that he knows when the war is over and has the scares to prove it. Scares you will never see or understand.    So feel free to keep walking your dog in the gas station parking lot and he will continue to stand up for his country.  Signed,  One proud military wife
