Another Birthday!

Happy Birthday to the most wonderful man in all the world!  He is everything to me, and I am so thankful to be the wife of such a great man.  God has been so good to us, we are indeed BLESSED!

18 years ago...

18 years ago....today.  I married the love of my life.  18 years ago, we were just kids.  So in love, yet not knowing what true love really was.  Our love has grown so much over the years....our family has grown too :)  God's providential hand has been in our lives, guiding us through the good times and the not so good times,   He has never left us or forsaken us.  18 years....seems like a lifetime ago, yet seems like yesterday.  There are no words strong enough to describe the depths of my love for my husband.  He is everything to me.  He is my hero...my best friend...my knight in shining armor....my love.....he is mine.

 

Happy 18th Anniversary to my ONE and ONLY!

Ya think she looks like a little red-neck??

A Tribute to MY Hero

My Husband, James Brown Jr.

"Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in the world. But, the Marines don't have that problem."

Ronald Reagan, President of the United States; 1985 

Ode to a Marine
By Jeannie Salinski

 

In a crowd you're bound to spot him, he's standing so very tall
Not too much impresses him; he's seen and done it all.
His hair is short, his eyes are sharp, but his smile's a little blue.
It's the only indication of the hell that he's gone through.
He belongs to a sacred brotherhood, always Faithful 'til the end.
He has walked right into battle and walked back out again.
Many people think him foolish for having no regrets
About having lived through many times others would forget.

He's the first to go and last to know, but never questions why,
On whether it is right or wrong, but only do or die.
He walks a path most won't take and has lost much along the way,
But he thinks a lot of freedom, it's a small price to pay.
Yes, he has chosen to live a life off the beaten track,
Knowing well each time he's called, he might not make it back.

So, next time you see a Devil Dog standing proud and true,
Be grateful for all he's given; he's given it for you.
Don't go up and ask him what's it's like to be in war;
Just thank God that it's your country he's always fighting for.
And thank him too for all the hell he's seen in that shade of green,
Thank him for having the guts to be a United States Marine

Monday is Memorial Day--Our soldiers and veterans deserve our thanks.

Semper Fidelis

Always Faithful

Happy Birthday!

Well, I'm a day late, and a dollar short.....as usual, but I just wanted to share with y'all that yesterday was my husbands 41st birthday!   I am so thankful for such a great husband!  He is so good to me!  He still makes me smile :)  And as you can see in this picture, Once a Marine... Always a Marine!

I love him dearly!

He Means So Much to Me

My Dear Husband!  He is the World's greatest you know!  There aren't enough words to describe the joy I have in my heart for him!  I am so glad that I can say "he truly is my dearest friend".  We have been married for 17 years now, (half of my life!!) and we have had our share of  "good, bad, and ugly" times!  But God has sustained us and given to us a Love that I never dreamed possible!  So, for my Thankful Thursday post, I want to say how thankful I am that God has blessed me with a man that truly loves me "as Christ loves the Church".
