Today Ryan watched Gavin so I could run a couple errands. At 3:30pm I left wal-mart and was waiting at the light to go to the grocery store. When the green arrow came on I made my way into the intersection and began to look to both sides out of habit. When I turned my head to the left my heart stopped beating and everything became slow motion and all I could see was the car heading right for my door going at least 40mph when all of a sudden it stopped 2 feet from me and I was still moving throug… Continue

I want to thank all of you guys for all your prayers and faith and kind words. We received an answer to them all last night about 10pm and I am filled with new energy and a renewed faith!

Last Wednesday I found out that we were moving to Kentucky barely over a month after I give birth by c-section and that our income was ceasing for only God knows how long and couldn't get any answers till today.

Last minute list of men who weren't supposed to be leaving with the unit because of injuries, etc now are and we're the lucky few.

My c-section for our son Gavin is scheduled for September 11th and I don't even know… Continue

Our dog is 6 months old and lately won't eat anything we give her, including so pork loin last night. We've bought canned food but she just sniffs it and looks up at us. She's losing weight and we can't afford to take her to the vet cause she just got done with 8 injections for hair mites that she got from stress when I was gone for a week. Idk what to do anymore to make her eat. We bring her inside and she just wants to be petted and paid attention to...I'm afraid we're guna lose the first dog… Continue
