Wouldn’t have missed it for anything, except maybe Pizza

Originally posted 2016-04-13 19:37:12. There are those events in our lives and the lives of our children that we see as huge milestones and you would do almost anything to make sure you did not miss it. Well for us one of those events was Kayla’s boot camp graduation.We are so enormously proud of her and this accomplishment. Seems her stubborn and bullheadedness actually may have helped her. Glad I didn’t tell her she couldn’t…

Time to try a new therapy

Originally posted 2016-03-22 22:35:44. For several weeks now I have been waiting on the insurance approvals for this device to be implanted in Dusty in order to hopefully achieve a reduction of his overall seizure activity. Whether it works or not remains to be seen but all the research and people who have used it show at least some chance of it helping. Just how much it helps is the question. Dusty already takes three…

Forgotten kisses

Originally posted 2016-02-17 16:49:14. There are a lot of missing pieces of the puzzle of my life.One particular time, the day I married James. We were sitting here the other night talking about different things as we normally do and then he got on the subject of our wedding day. I remember very little about that day. I remember we were married at the courthouse and two of his fellow Marines were the witnesses, along with…

Exploring Unique Anniversary Jewelry at Beverly Diamonds for 20th Anniversary

This is my 18th year of being married. Our anniversary is September first. We both say we are going to do “bigger” for our 20th anniversary so naturally I have been looking for that “bigger” LMAO So I have just been browsing and came across some things on Beverly Diamonds. I’ve never purchased from them before but I just liked their website educating the consumer on the facts of diamond, moissanite, and lab grown. I…

This is RIDICULOUS!

Originally posted 2022-09-12 16:30:46. This is ridiculous. Less than 2 yrs ago we were paying around 40 bucks for this. We just came from the the our local farm/feed store and the prices have ballooned tremendously!!! Then we were told they have been trying to purchase more but have been unable to. What The Fuck! Not to mention my daughter calls me yesterday to ask us to look for our grandbaby’s formula because she hasn’t…

Victims, Abusers, Survivors

Originally posted 2016-01-28 23:57:02. As a victim of domestic violence there comes a time in that span of abuse that the abused can turn into the abuser. Now with that said, that person isn’t your typical abuser. That person turns into the desperate, feeling of all is lost and will take something extreme to get out of.  I don’t recall whether I have spoken of these instances or not but to be honest with the…

The Hero Within…

Originally posted 2016-01-12 15:40:42. Someone recently told me I was his hero. I honestly didn’t know what to say to that. I mean I am just Amy…mom to Dusty and Kayla, wife to James. It’s not like I’m kin to the queen of any country or some Nobel prize winner. Of course they are human too. Just because they did something the world knows about or went through something they at the end of the…

Simplicity is overrated, isnt it?

Originally posted 2016-01-08 22:58:17. It’s now 2016. Who would have ever thought we’d see these days come and not be in flying cars like the Jetson’s cartoons. It seemed so doable back them and to now look back on just how far we haven’t come, it makes one wonder just what our future really holds. Time went so fast in the last month of 2015. December came and went in a flash. Maybe it is…
