Baby, There Are Simply No Words…
I honestly don’t even know how or where to start this post. And for a writer, it is a rarity that I ever run out of things to say. Something has been weighing heavily on my heart, not just recently, but for the past 9 years actually. I’ve held it in. I’ve journaled. I’ve cried. And now I share it…with all of you. I had a son. His name was Brendan. He would have been 9 years old this September…actually, he wasn’t due until November. He was a vibrant baby…always kicking and rolling around. The kids were thrilled to be adding #8 to our beautiful family, especially Nathan. You see,…

I Am Indeed An Army Wife
If you are an Army Wife and you have a computer you know what this post is about. One thing I will not do is bash “Army Wife, Army Life” for her recent blog post. While I agree with not one single word of it, I as a seasoned Army Wife understand how our words and our actions directly impact our husbands and their careers. I will not negatively impact my husband’s career. She’s not worth it. One point I would like to make though is that when it comes to being an Army Wife, or better yet, a military spouse in general, we are all supposed to be on…
