Follow up to come!

I'll do a follow up post soon .. but wanted to share something I saw. Totally love it!

We would like to recognize these often underestimated, unseen, and unheard heroes.

This is for the young women that are waking up at 6 a.m. every morning, laying out clothes and packing three lunches for those small precious children that they have been left alone to care for.

This is for the pregnant Military wife wondering if her husband will make it home in time to watch their miracle happen.

This is for the childless Military wife, living in a town or on a base alone where she is a complete stranger to her surroundings.

This is for the women that feel like a third leg when they go out with their friends and their husbands.

This is for the Military wife that canceled all her plans to wait by the phone, and even though the phone broke up and cut off every time you spoke to him you waited anyway.

This is a pledge to the women that cry themselves to sleep in an empty bed.This is to recognize the woman that felt like she was dying inside when he said he had to go, but smiled for him anyway.

This is for those of you that are faithfully in that long line at the post office once a month, handling 2 large boxes and 2 small children like a pro.

This is for that woman that decided to remodel the house to pass time, and then realized that she had no idea what she was doing and sighed and wished she had a little help.

This is for all the lonely nights, all the one-person dinners, and all of the wondering thoughts because you haven't heard from him in days.

This is for the sad Military wives, the angry Military wives, and the strong Military wives.

A toast to you for falling apart, and putting yourselves back together. Because a pay check isn't enough, a body pillow in your bed is no consolation, and a web cam can never compare.

This is for all of you no matter how easy or hard this was for you. Our soldiers/sailors are brave, but so are we.So the next time someone tells you that they would never marry a Military guy, don't bother explaining to them that you can't control who you fall in love with. Just think of this and nod your head, know that you are the stronger woman.Hold your heads up high, hang that flag in your front yard, stick 100 magnets on your car, and then give yourself a pat on the back.

Be proud to be the woman that you are, be proud to be a Military wife!


Isn't this the neatest thing ever?! I think so!

I love you babe!

Resol- say what?!

Who does resolutions anymore?! Not this gal! A friend of mine actually said that if she keeps her resolution longer than a kardashian marriage - she'll be happy!

Let me back track .. How was New years?? I've been kidnapped by my kindle fire .. I'm serious!
I think i'm up to 8 books that i've read since my husband Santa brought me this pretty amazing thing ;) Too bad school starts again next week and that will have to take my time up!

Natalia had a great Christmas as well. The way she lit up when she saw that "Santa" dropped off all those presents just for her. Oh, that smile just melts my heart <3

The night before Christmas eve my two of my girlfriends came over with their 3 & 1 year olds and we had dinner, some wine (of course!) and then the kids helped bake a birthday cake for Jesus. Seriously.so.cute! I have some pictures that I need to upload.. I'll get to it!

New Years was actually pretty quiet this year. I went to my best friends parents house where they had a small just family gathering. We have been best friends for almost 20 years so I count as family! Her parents were born and raised in Jamaica and came to NY and then VA when they were teenagers and her dad joined the Air Force. If you have not had home cooked Jamaican food ..... You are truly, truly, missing out on some pretty great food! Finger licking good!

What about you guys??

Love, Love

Mrs. W :)
