It has been a while since I sat down and wrote anything.....Partly because I didn't know what to write and partly because things have been a bit insane! March is always a crazy/bad/sad month for me as it is the month I lost my babies...and for some reason this year (5years) was soooooo hard for me! But I made it through it!
Now Lets talk about the VA clinic for a moment! While i am sooo grateful that Ricky gets Medical care WHAT A PAIN!!!! not just with the clinic but disability in general! It has been CRAZYYYYY ......for weeks now we have been trying to get an apt for Ricky well finally today we get a apt card and his Apt is the END OF MAY.............Really....REALLY......OH MY GOSH .....he really needs to be seen before then! so now my Hope is in the TBI clinic I hope they can see him before the end of May! I feel so helpless sometimes I see him struggle with things and just wish I could take away all the pain and frustration for him! I always knew that the USMC would change our lives but I had NO IDEA it would be this much or this hard! I thought getting out of the USMC our life would almost go back to normal but boy was I wrong......See while active duty its hard to see your "problems or disability" because almost all the guys are dealing with the same thing ( at least for infantry it seems that way!) and once your away in a "normal" civi life WOW u can just see how much these poor guys are really affected! My heart breaks for them,not just them but the moms and wives and dads and so on that have to learn to adapt and learn to help them!! My prayer is that God will really use Ricky and I to help others that are getting out of military life! This past weekend my Pastor said something that really hit home for me....he talked about picking up your OWN cross and carrying it! and I think that is just what I needed to hear.......This is my life This is the life that God has gave me and only he really knows why and instead of wondering and questioning it and being upset or sad that my life is so "hard" sometimes,I just need to Pick up my Cross and carry it! Turn it around to Good! Use the life he has given me to glorify HIM!!! So no more feeling sad or sorry its time to dig in and help others! ok with that being said on to the next thing...........
OH YES I ALMOST FORGOT....... We started Home-schooling!!!!!!!!!!!! YIPPIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE I am soooooooooo happy that I am doing it! my girls are doing AMAZING! and its so much fun watching them learn and teaching them new things! It is sooo rewarding !!!!! <3 <3 <3 it!!!!
Ok Last thing before I go....Prayers............. Here are a few things that could use some Prayer request if u have anything that I can pray about for you please comment and let me know!

ok now that I wrote a book i must go.........
<3 Always Me!!!!
That's an awesome way to look at it! I'm also trying to learn to suck it up and put a smile on my face! haha But even better to try and use your troubles to help others! Good for you! I think whoever you are, you have blessings and struggles and whether or not we enjoy life is mostly about what we make of it.
