Show some sparkle this July 4th!
posted by 13 Comments
July 4th is one of my favorite times of the year for celebrating. There is just something about backyard BBQs, fireworks, parades, and red, white, and blue decor reminding us of how great this country is!
This year we will be celebrating the 4th of July in North Carolina with my family. We will have a day of festivities and then the annual July 4th firework show in town that night. I decided that I wanted to be a bit more sparkly this year so when I saw these flip flops from Pinkwhen, I knew they would be a great DIY craft to sport my red, white, and blue.
How cute are they! She did a great job!
This past weekend my niece was here and we decided to bedazzle our flip flops. I couldn’t talk Teri into any red, white, or blue ones.
But here are the cute ones Teri made.
And here are my patriotic ones.Continue reading

Breaking News!

As I am sitting here starting to write another post , I am listening to the news, reporting on the possible threat Iran has on the US and Israel and how US military posts in Afganistan could be blown away within minutes if Iran were to retaliate! My heart literally dropped!
Father God Please protect my husband! His safety is in your hands. 
This is NOT what you want to hear on the news when your husband is in Afganistan and he promises he is in a “safe” area!! Safe being relative! I know that is David’s way of reassuring me that he is ok, but he is in Afganistan, how safe is safe? I mean within seconds something like this with Iran can happen. And it is scary!
My heart goes out to the many wives that have lost their husbands during this war! I just can’t even imagine! I don’t know what I would do if…
I planned to blog about my first month without my husband but I decided to write about what I am feeling right now! I don’t think there are words to even describe how military spouses feel every single day that we have our husbands deployed! We look around and life goes on for everyone. Even though we make the best of each day, David is missed, he is a HUGE part of our family and it just hurts to even think about what if! 
As you go about celebrating the 4th of July, just remember to pray for the safety of our troops and my husband. And pray for the families that are waiting each day for them to return home!
