My Thoughts Exactly!!! HOOAH!!!

Today was his day.... Fathers Day!





First let me start by giving our Fathers the Apreciation they so much deserve... You are the reason we do what we do.. You give such selflessness to our family and our country!! One day isnt barely enough to show the love and gratitude we have for you all!! So with that being said we went to the beach today to celebrate... This heat is unbearable, I got in the car to go leave the beach and I was gasping for air.. Wow this is ca ca crazy!

This week marks FTX week so I think I will be blogging quite much this week. He wont be able to contact me until next weekend. I will have to stay busy because I definatly dont get to see him as often as we would like but I can at least look forward to one or two calls a day.. Not this week, its all good though because after FTX its Phase 5 Plus, for an entire month. He is so worth the wait, although waiting for me is nailbiting at times.

This makes me so greatful because I know there are men overseas and deployed who didnt get to see their familys on this day of being greatful for them!!! I also feel like I am being insensitive because isnt it like 150 degrees there, in full ACU'S? Wow I need to take a step back and stop being so selfish and SPOILED!! I told my kids today that Daddy was going out a week and Katelyn says " Its always the Armys fault", I feel for them because they have not the understanding that sometimes I dont even have!! Today, I am promising to be more greatful for the heat, and all the little things we seem to take for granted on a daily basis without even realizing how selfish we really are.



Distance is not for the fearful. It's for the bold. It's for those willing to spend a lot of time alone, in exchange for a little time with the one they love. It's for those who know a good thing when they see it, even ...if they don't see it nearly enough! Words I live by!



In conclusion to this Amazing weekend I do have to say; In the wise words of Joyce Meyers " Live with an Attitude of Gratitude!" Nothing better than a renewed sence of living life to the fullest!! It is so important to not confuse the destination with the journey! Have a Blessed day!!! <3
