Life...

...is such a precious thing. You blink and you may miss something. You close your eyes and you may miss someone.


I am so happy to say that through all of life's trial's, dissapointments and unknowns, I have really enjoyed my life so far. I have a family that has been so supportive of my life in the military. My mom especially. In fact, she is the one who encouraged me to join the Air Force when I wanted no part of it. I am so happy that she pushed me to do it. Though my job isn't my life, it is a huge part of my life and has been for the past 11 1/2 years. I have done and seen so much in my short time in the service. I have met so many wonderful people along the way...most of whom I still keep in contact with today....some of my best friends have been given to me because I met them as a result of being in the Air Force. My husband, though I never thought he'd be the guy I'd marry, was a friend first and then became my husband because of my meeting him through the Air Force. And this day...I am so thankful for him. I admit that I haven't been the most easy to be around sometimes, but he has been there for me and put up with me even when I had a STANK attitude or nothing positive to say (which doesn't happen often, but has happened nonetheless).

I have been so blessed with so many experiences and so many wonderful people in my life. It is amazing that after not seeing someone for so long and even not talking with them for an extended period of time, I am still able to connect with them as if no time had passed. To me...that is more than just coincidence that I met them...in fact to me...they were meant to be in my life...and those relationships are not just fleeting ones that happened to come along. Thank you friends for letting me experience your life alongside you and for also allowing me to see my life in a different perspective....

Life is so short, and we never know when this life will end and our next one will begin...so my plan (as it has been for a long time) is to let those in my life know how much they mean to me...what they have given to my spirit and that their presence in my life is meaningful.
I am eternally grateful for all that God has given me....

Thanks for stopping by.....

KGG-

We are glad you are a part of our life. We miss you and can't wait to see you again and pick up the conversation from where we left off last time. Take care and remember that you are in our thoughts daily.

Mark

p.s. I wish you could come over here and help me with my STANK attitude sometimes...

You are so right. I love you know matter what. You are such a doll face sister and ever so talented. I am very proud to have you as my sister. Please smell(imagine) the roses that are in my heart waiting to be place in yours whenever that STANK attitude is there. I love you with all my heart and although you are my little sister I have learned great things from you and apprecitate your humbleness in you. Thank you for you & I always thanks God for giving me a sister that is one of a kind. Love Ya...& Miss Ya


"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
