Deep in the heart (clap clap) of Texas, Tx, United States
I am a veteran and the wife of a soldier. Together we have spent our adult lifetime serving our Nation, it's soldiers and families that support it. We have lived all over the country and experienced more then we ever expected. It is a life I love and one that I hold very close to me, but one that is bittersweet, filled with both joy and sacrifice, friendship and loss...but it is never without hope.
I guess they were booked and couldn't deliver on Valentines Day, so I got my Valentine early! Donnie ordered me a chocolate dipped fruit bouquet! It is SO good! The bananas are to die for. It was so creative of him, I am really impressed!
Just what in the hell is on Donnies arm now? It looks interesting! I am so stinking jealous that you got a Valentine gift. I am going tonight to get one for the kids and for Jared. I wish I could have a bite of yours!
The above picture was taken moments before Donnie's unit left for Iraq in 2004. Marlys was only three months old. To date, that was the hardest day of my life. I stood there and watched them march out the door...making sure that I didn't take my eyes off of him until he was gone. I didn't know if I would ever see him again.
