The BIG 3-0 Birthday!

Hi there blog followers! Sorry I haven't posted in a week but we were enjoying our belated honeymoon (only 2.5 years later) in Mexico so I was off the radar! Yesterday was also my 30th birthday so I am finally getting caught up on all the love from facebook and Instagram from being out of town and birthday wishes. How was everyone's 4th of July? Needless to say we didn't see any fireworks in Mexico but it was a much needed relaxing vacation. I had the best birthday a girl could ask for, I got new workout gear, a heart rate monitor, flowers, a beautiful orchid and a NEW JEEP!

Well..I must admit the Jeep wasn't a birthday present, we've been looking for an SUV for a while but we just so happened to get it on my birthday. I am very blessed and grateful to have such a nice vehicle. I would love to hear what those of you who read my blog would be interested in reading about this week? What interests you? What do you need support with? Let me know! Thanks for all the love!

 

Today on this Memorial Day we may all be attending BBQ's, doing things around the house, planting flowers or spending time with friends and family. I hope that you didn't have to work today but if you did you just might be an American soldier. My husband is a Wounded Warrior and a retired Army Veteran. Memorial Day has more than just a little sentiment for us. This weekend 2 years ago is when he deployed to Afghanistan. It is hard to watch the news and see the slideshow of local soldiers who didn't make it home. It very well could have been him.

I wanted to post today about my hike of 5.5 miles up in the mountains and how beautiful it is here in Colorado and how I loved just having the day off. But, after watching the 6:00 news and seeing the men who didn't return home, I thought it is only right as a spouse of a Wounded Warrior to honor the men and women in our military today and say THANK YOU. Thank you for missing your holidays with your family, thank you for missing the birth of your children, the deaths of loved ones, the moments that make memories in our lives. Thank you for sacrificing. Thank you for volunteering and signing up to defend this great nation of ours. Thank you for protecting us from the threats that are out there. You are loved and appreciated. I have no other or better words other than THANK YOU!
