Ok WOW it has been a LONGGGGGGGG time since i have sat down blog....so I guess I need to update! We moved in with Ricky's Parents Aug 1 and that was an adjustment,it is always hard to move in with someone however I was blessed to have someplace to move into....his parents never thought twice about having us move in and for that I am THANKFUL! Well now to the AMAZING news.... I found out about an amazing program helping Vets get homes and I applied for one in NC about 3 weeks after moving to his parents we found out we got the house.... US.....WE GOT IT.....OH MY GOSH IS THIS A DREAM?!?!?! Well we got to move into the home on Nov 1st and it has just been AMAZING! The kids Love having there own rooms and all of there things out of storage! Ok now for the other GREAT news!
Ricky met this AMAZING man at Liberty Univ. he was a professor ..Doug and this man had a HUGEEEEEEE impact on our life....he was always willing to step in anytime ricky needed help! he prayed for us he prayed with us he kept in touch with us and he got us signed up for this Wounded Warrior Hunting trip in Nov...We had no idea just how much this hunting trip would impact us.......
We got to the Farm on Nov. 9th and WOW I was blown away... everyone was sooo nice and God's love was just beaming from this place! They had us and another couple staying with a "older" couple at first i was worried how this would turn out because some times Ricky has bad days/nights ...But oh my goodness we had the BEST place to stay... the couple took us in like we were there kids...cooked for us laughed with us prayed with us....by the second day we were calling them Mom and Dad! they will FOREVER be in my heart and I can not wait to see them again! now back to the Farm they had everything planed for us for the long weekend we would be there the guys did one thing (hunting) and the wives were showered with lunch and gifts and spa day WOW we got spoiled! We all shared our stories and cried together! But it was Monday that really made a impact for me...We got up and Dad took Kellie and I to the farm and when we got to the farm we see a Limo.....A LIMO.... so we get in the Limo and it takes us to the Spa.... and we get our nails done and get a hand massage now this might seem normal to some...but for me its a first... I had my nails done ONE time and i was 15 so this was a great thing for me.... I have planned to get my nails done before but most of the time something came up and I wasnt able to get them done but this time I was able to get them done and able to chat with laidies who understand my crazy life....I was able to sit back and relax and it was just a great experience...But it wasn't until a few days later that I would really understand the impact of my nail color..... As I was sitting in the Airport ready to fly back to NC I looked down at my nails and I had a overwhelming flood of emotions...The past weekend had changed me it Gave me a new sense of life and strength...I made some AMAZING friendships.... and met Women who would always be there for me anytime I need them! I seen marriages that were LIFE LASTING!!!! I had cried this weekend,laughed,prayed,I enjoyed myself....It had been a LONG time since I had felt this great.... I seen my husband grow and make friendships and met some amazing guys! I seen so much of God's Love that it was overwhelming! All this from just looking down at my nails..... So we boarded the plane and headed home! Once we got home and got attacked by the kids I sat down to unpack some of our things and my mom (she watched our kids for us) said ur nails look good....and I was like oh my gosh mom I have to tell u about this weekend! I began to tell her all about it...How all of these amazing ppl helped out and how much thought and love went into the weekend...How we met "mom and dad" and Kellie and Tony how at night coming back from the farm we would sit and talk all night long like we all knew each other! How amazing it was to see Ricky have such good days! How relaxing it was for me! How GREAT church was on Sunday! I had no idea that getting my nails done on Monday would impact me so much! I look down at them and I am reminded of all of the AMAZING volunteers that poured love into us and took such great care of us! I left that farm with a renewed spirit something that I REALLLY needed! thank-you to everyone who made this weekend happen for us!
