I am in such a good mood today. I had my second doctor's appointment this morning and we finally got to hear the babies heart beat. My doctor also scheduled my ultra sound for the 6th of November. We are so happy. We will finally know what we are having. Things are going good here other wise. Paul is getting ready for gun season and I'm feeling a little better and I hope the morning sickness goes away. Damien will be 3 at the end of the month, so I have alot of planning to do. I hope everyone is doing great and enjoying bow season!
Sorry I have been away for so long. Good news, my truck got fixed, all it needed was a new rotor. I have spent the last few weeks trying to find a new deep freeze for deer season because went out. Gotta have a deep freeze, my regular freezer wont hold a whole deer. The past week and a half I have had a terrible headache and have felt kinda crappy. Don't know what is wrong, but my headache has finally eased up a bit. Tomorrow, we go out to feed the cows and the horses and I am going to take my hubby's Remington 870 and shoot the turtles that are in the pond causing problems. I haven't got to play with the shot gun yet, but I'm going to tomorrow   . I'll post pics Monday when I get on. I hope everyone has been doing good. I'm hoping to find a new deep freeze soon and then I will have more time for fun. More later..........
Sorry I haven't been on in a while guys. This last weekend Paul and his dad went to change the breaks on my truck cause they were sounding horrible. Mind you, Paul bought me the truck at the beginning of May and I have already had to change the spark plugs and boots and now it's the brakes. We went and got brake pads and headed back for them to start working on them. They got the brakes off and were checking the rotor and the bearings on the driver's side. They took off the rotor and noticed that it was ground down so far that I seriously needed another one. There goes another $60 bucks. So we go and get another one and my father in law bought me new bearings for both sides. We headed back so they could finish up. They got everything repacked and put back together and Paul tightend everything up and put my tire back on. He did the passenger brake pads and bearings. Put the tire back on and was done. My father in law asked one of his mechanic friends that live in the same apartment complex to look at the old rotor and brake pads. The brakes fell apart as soon as they removed the piece holding them on. They mechanic said that if we would have tried to drive home that more than likely the driver side front brakes would have locked up and spun the truck around and possible caused us to flip my truck. They shop we got the truck at, my ex-friend's husband works at and he gave me his word that he wouldn't have sold us a truck that would need work soon and that he didn't trust. Well, apparently he had been driving the truck after the shop was closed and power braking it ALOT! He sold me a truck that was WAY past due for new brakes. I am pissed. Well, on the way home from my father in laws, he lives right next to Tinker AFB, everything was fine. We stopped in Shawnee to get KFC for dinner and then headed home. We were past Meeker to the speedway and I heard a loud noise and then the tire started wobbling. I pulled over and Paul jacked up the truck and looked at it. He couldn't see anything wrong with the tire (driver side, the one we had to get the new rotor for) and so he put the tire back on and tried to drive a little farther. We didn't go a half a block and he saw that the tire was wobbling really bad so wee called AAA to have them tow us home. It took a while for the tow truck to get there and Paul was feeling really bad and we were both extremely stressed out. We got the truck home and he said he would take it off again in the morning and see what was wrong. He called his dad Sunday morning and brought down all the tools they had used before and got to work. A few hours later, while I was painting Damien's room, Paul comes in and tells me that the bearings had gotten so hot that they had fused themselves to the rotor. Our neightbor that lives a couple of houses up came down to help remove the bearings. He told Paul that the problem was that the bolt had gotten tightend too tight and that is what caused the problem. So the got the bearings out and filed down the ones that were fused to the rotor. They put everything back and tightend things down the way they are supposed to be and took it for a test drive. It was still making a funny noise. My father in law said it was probably too loose from them having to file down the inside of the rotor because of them haveing to file down the bearings. He told Paul that on Saturday he was going to buy a new rotor and come down and replace it while Paul is at work. We are both so grateful for my father in law. I dunno what I would do without him. So that is what has been going on the has caused me not to be on in a while. I will post more later after he replaces the rotor. FINGERS CROSSED that is the problem. More later.....

I'm sorry I haven't been on in a while guys, but I'm still alive. Since Paul went back to work Damien has been really needing Mommy cause he misses Daddy. Not alot has been going on. Paul took his vacation and we spent alot of family time together. My "mom" gave Paul and SKS for his birthday and he has been wanting to go shooting, so we are planning on that sometime soon. Damien is getting bigger and talking more. So, that is about it on what's been going on. I have just been paying all my attention to Damien. He has started getting used to the fact that Paul had to go back to work, but he is a Daddy's boy and with all the time they got to spend together, he is missing him. So, I hope to be hearing from some of ya'll soon. Enjoy your week! More later...

My loving husband gave me my anniversary presant this morning. I am sooo HAPPY! It's a 2000 Ford F 150, extended cab, 4 doors, and it's white. I am not a Ford person, but I have wanted a truck for a long time ( I miss my old Dodge) and he surprised me with it this morning. I am soo happy! I finally have my truck. I will eventually get the one I want, but I am happy with my truck. I posted pictures. YAY!!!!
Got this in a email and explains how all of us Military wives, girlfriends, and fiancees feel..just wanted to share it with my friends! You don't know, but I'm the girl who cries every morning, and hopes every night for his safe return. I'm the girl who drags herself out of bed every morning so that he will be proud of her when he comes home. I'm the girl who lies in bed longing for him to be lying next to me. I'm the girl who sits quietly during class because all I can think about is that next moment when he will safely be in my arms again. You don't know, but I'm the girl with a million things to say, but not one will come out without the thought of him. I'm the girl who checks my cell phone every five seconds just to make sure I haven't missed his call. I'm the girl who stops and stares and wishes for him to return soon each and every time another man in uniform walks by.
What you don't know is that I know love on an entirely different level from most. I know the love that spans time and space; that love that most people are constantly searching for. I'm one of the girls who waits months for a single kiss; a kiss that will make the months apart worth every second. A kiss where everything in the world stops and for what seems like eternity, you can see into that person's soul and know that without them, life is not worth living. You tell me, I'm too young to be "so in love"; I know that love has no age limit. You tell me I don't even understand what love is, I tell you, I know more love in one homecoming, than most know in a life time. You don't know that every time he leaves part of me goes with him and part of him stays with me. You tell me that people change and I tell you, true love with always remain constant and steady. You tell me, I'm too young to be married, I tell you, and I'm too in love to not be. You tell me you know how I feel and that you understand what I'm going through; you have no idea. What you don't realize is that I understand the true meaning of not only love, but of longing and anticipation.
You don't see, but I'm one of the few who gets goose bumps as my heart fills with pride every time the National Anthem is played. I'm one of the girls who will stand tall and stay strong on the outside, but be dying on the inside. I am one of the girls who will make friends with complete strangers for only they can even begin to understand what I am going through. You don't understand that I picture his face everywhere I go and that he is with me in everything I do. You think I don't cry anymore, that I have gotten over it, but what you don't know is that I just hide it better.
You don't know the feeling the first time you hear the word deployment or the feeling of his hands as it slides out of yours for what could be the last time. You don't know what that last hug or kiss means and how important that goodbye truly is. I'm the girl you see standing alone in the corner of the airport watching quietly out the window with tears rolling down my cheeks. I'm the girl you see walking by with a disheartened face staring silently at the ground. What you don't know, is that I know true love and that no matter what obstacles we have to face, our love will live forever, that only we know.
You tell me that you support the troops; I tell you, I'm in love with one. I'm one of the silent, but outgoing; weak, but strong; scared, but grateful. What you don't see is that without me, he is nothing and without him, I am nothing. I'm one of those girls; the girl who stands tall behind her Soldier, stands proud behind her Hero, stands strong behind her man, watching silently as he serves and defends our country
military poem
Body: By: Author unknown
I wear no uniforms, no blues or army greens.
But I am in the military in the ranks rarely seen.
I have no rank upon my shoulders, Salutes I do not give.
But the military world is the place where I live.
I'm not in the chain of command, orders I do not get.
But my Child is the one who does, this I cannot forget.
I'm not the one who fires the weapon, who puts my life on the line.
But my job is just as tough. I'm the one that's left behind.
My child is a patriot, a brave and prideful one
And the call to serve their country not all can understand.
Behind the lines I see the things needed to keep this country free.
My child makes the sacrifice, but so do others kids and me.
I love the child I bore
Soldering is their war
But I stand among the silent others
Known as a Military Mother.

Daddy's Poem
Her hair was up in a pony tail,
her favorite dress tied with a bow.
Today was Daddy's Day at school,
and she couldn't wait to go.
But her mommy tried to tell her,
that she probably should stay home
Why the kids might not understand,
if she went to school alone.
But she was not afraid;
she knew just what to say.
What to tell her classmates
of why he wasn't there today.
But still her mother worried,
for her to face this day alone.
And that was why once again,
she tried to keep her daughter home..
But the little girl went to school
eager to tell them all.
About a dad she never sees
a dad who never calls.
There were daddies along the wall in back, for everyone to meet.
Children squirming impatiently,
anxious in their seats
One by one the teacher called
a student from the class.
To introduce their daddy,
as seconds slowly passed.
At last the teacher called her name,
every child turned to stare.
Each of them was searching,
a man who wasn't there.
'Where's her daddy at?'
She heard a boy call out.
'She probably doesn't have one,'
another student dared to shout.
And from somewhere near the back,
she heard a daddy say,
'Looks like another deadbeat dad,
too busy to waste his day.
'
The words did not offend her,
as she smiled up at her Mom.
And looked back at her teacher, who told her to go on.
And with hands behind her back,
slowly she began to speak.
And out from the mouth of a child,
came words incredibly unique.
'My Daddy couldn't be here,
because he lives so far away.
But I know he wishes he could be,
since this is such a special day.
And though you cannot meet him,
I wanted you to know.
All about my daddy,
and how much he loves me so.
He loved to tell me stories
he taught me to ride my bike.
He surprised me with pink roses,
and taught me to fly a kite.
We used to share fudge sundaes,
and ice cream in a cone.
And though you cannot see him.
I'm not standing here alone.
'Cause my daddy's always with me,
even though we are apart
I know because he told me,
he'll forever be in my heart'
With that, her little hand reached up,
and lay across her chest.
Feeling her own heartbeat,
beneath her favorite dress.
And from somewhere there in the crowd of dads, her mother stood in tears.
Proudly watching her daughter,
who was wise beyond her years.
For she stood up for the love
of a man not in her life.
Doing what was best for her,
doing what was right.
And when she dropped her hand back down, staring straight into the crowd.
She finished with a voice so soft,
but its message clear and loud.
'I love my daddy very much,
he's my shining star.
And if he could, he'd be here,
but heaven's just too far.
You see he is a Marine
and died just this past year
When a roadside bomb hit his convoy
and taught Americans to fear.
But sometimes when I close my eyes,
it's like he never went away.
'
And then she closed her eyes,
and saw him there that day.
And to her mother's amazement,
she witnessed with surprise.
A room full of daddies and children,
all starting to close their eyes.
Who knows what they saw before them,
who knows what they felt inside.
Perhaps for merely a second,
they saw him at her side.
'I know you're with me Daddy,'
to the silence she called out.
And what happened next made believers,
of those once filled with doubt.
Not one in that room could explain it,
for each of their eyes had been closed.
But there on the desk beside her,
was a fragrant long-stemmed pink rose.
And a child was blessed, if only for a moment, by the love of her shining star.
And given the gift of believing,
that heaven is never too far.
They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but then an entire life to forget them.
Send this to the people you'll never forget and remember to send it also to the person that sent it to you. It's a short message to let them know that you'll never forget them.
If you don't send it to anyone, it means you're in a hurry and that you've forgotten your friends.
Take the time...to live and love.
Until eternity.
God bless
There must be many children in the same boat as this little girl, thanks to our servicemen and their families for the sacrifice they are making to keep our country Free.

Hey everyone! My name is Tiana and I am a 22 (23 next month) year old stay at home mom. I live in Chandler, OK with my husband, Paul, and our son, Damien. Paul works for the local dairy and I take care of Damien. We are a country family and love the outdoors. Right now I have 1 deer head on my living room wall, and I am expecting more from this deer season. I am new to hunting (never been but love the meat), but my husband is a pro at it. He just bought him a new shot gun for this year (Remington 870 Express Magnum) and he is going to get me my first gun for our anniversary next month (It's a pink Mossy Oak camo Remington 570). I am slowly learning and can't wait to go. Our son is 2 1/2 and is spoiled rotten. He has a closet full of camo (thanks to Mimi). We love to have fun and spend time with our families. We both come from large southern families so there is alot of time spent doing that. We spend time with our friends when we can. The majority of our spare time is spent out in the boonies with me learning. I am here to make friends so I am hoping to hear from some of you soon.
