Oops

I forgot to post something in the last few weeks. So let's see

Travis got home last Thursday. Which was several days earlier than we thought, which ROCKED! He actually like Africa, and brought back some awesome stuff! Which I would take pictures of and post them. Except the fact that Travis broke the camera while in Africa! Yes, you read it right, we now have no camera!

On Friday we got up and left the house early and drove to Pegram Tennessee, for Daniel Greer's funeral. It was a rough day to lay a great friend, husband, father, Marine, and Firefighter to rest. And so hard to see his is beautiful wife suffer so much. It was a wonderful tribute to his life. There was almost 1,000 people there. And Billy Ray Cyrus came and sang a song. He apparently lives near there, and saw Daniel's story on the local news and called the family up and asked if he could come and play. But like I said it was a wonderful way to celebrate the life of a true American Hero.

We got home really late, but got to spend the rest of the weekend together running errands, and just hanging out! But of course Monday brought on a new work week, and we have been going at it ever since! But today is Friday, and we are hoping that Travis has part of tomorrow off and all day Sunday so we can have some fun!!!!!

I do ask that you keep praying for Stacy and Ethan. I have talked to to her a couple of times, and I know things are really rough still. She is a super strong women, but is so sad.

Daniel Greer

Daniel Greer a friend of ours was injured Friday after being in an IED explosion while serving in Afghanistan. He was a sweet man who loved his wife and son so much. I know that Stacy is terribly sad right now as she goes to accompany his body home from Germany. She needs all our prayers in the next several weeks as she deals with this terrible lost.

This is any military spouses worst nightmare. And I can not imagine what she is going through. It has really close to home for me, since Travis is gone. I am sad so I can only imagine what she is feeling. She is such a sweet and loving wife and mother, and my heart breaks for her. Please continue to pray for them all.

Daniel-you were a great man, and wonderful friend to my husband. You will be greatly missed, but I know that you will never be forgotten.

In need of prayers

I am posting so that you all will be praying. Last night a guy from Travis' unit that is in Afghanistan right now was injured. I do not know details as of right now. But I do know that he is ICU in a hospital in Afghanistan. He has a wife and 1 year old son in Nashville. I know she is upset and they all need lots of prayers as well. His name is Daniel Greer and her name is Stacy. I will keep you all updated, but until then please please keep them in your prayers. They sure do need it.

Oh me....

I just don't have anything to say. But I am just so bored that I don't know what else to do so I thought I would blog about it. Since the week that Travis has been gone. I have painted the living room, and the bedroom. And all that is left is the bathroom. Which I am purposely not doing, because that will mean the end of all the big things that I wanted to do! I have been working all the time, which helps but only so much. Don't get me wrong, things could be alot worse. Being bored is a good things, compared to what could be going on. But still, sometimes I think I am going insane!

I haven't heard from Travis, which isn't unexpected and not necessarily a bad thing. I would absolutely love to hear from him, but since I knew I most likely wouldn't I am going with no news is good news! I am looking forward to this weekend, because it is tax free weekend here in Tennessee! Only on school related things, like cloths (my personal favorite) and school supplies, computers that sort of thing! And there a couple of things that we need here and I am holding off till I can get them tax free. It's not a huge saving, but better than nothing! Any one want to join me, feel free!?

Well, I guess that is it. See, I told you nothing important to say. Thanks for letting entertain myself for a few minutes!
