The New Cadet Airman

Yesterday, Justin received his promotion to Cadet Airman. He joined Civil Air Patrol an Air Force auxillary program. He is really enjoying the whole program. Here, Donnie and I are pinning him. I must add that the pin I placed was on upside down. He made sure he told me that. Ha ha ha.

Here is his entire squadron. This is a great group of kids. Justin is kneeling, front right.

We are so pleased with him.

Blessings

PS .... We just got a new computer so I will be posting more often, hopefully.

Thanksgiving at home: First time in 18 years

Let's just say that we didn't plan to spend Thanksgiving at home this year. I think the last time we celebrated in our own home was back when Moriah was a baby. Yeah...that's about 18 years ago or so. Let me tell you....W e absolutely loved it! Here's a little run down on how our plans were miscommunicated. You see...Donnie and I didn't communicate our Thanksgiving plans very well this year. He had forgotten that we had spent Thanksgiving with his side of the family last year so that meant it was time to drive up to Jacksonville and spend time with my side of the family. With not much talk of our T hanksgiving plans, I hear from the kids that he t old brother or dad not sure who that we would be heading down to see them Thanksgiving. This conversation happened just a few weeks before Thanksgiving. Kids: Hey where are we going for Thanksgiving this year? Me: Ummm....I think it's Jax. One of the kids: I thi

Stop the Rush

What was I feeling? What was I thinking? This specific post was drafted on March of 2016...Ana was around 7 years old. That was almost 5 years ago! This sweet little girl turned 12 last week. As I read through the post, I remember that feeling of "rushing", a lot of it was in my mind but I also was rushing...kids to school, boys doing some sort of sport, Ana was taking dance, helping kids with homework, no need to go on. You get my point. This was 5 years ago! This was a year before we left our town Gainesville, Florida to explore the United States and Mexico. A lot has changed since then and looking forward to catching you all up on everything. So here we go... Most of the time I find myself barely living in the moment. That's if I don't purposely try to liv
