Happy Birthday to me!

Some days I forget that I'm thousands of miles from home. I seem to have a knack for ignoring it, actually. Most of the time, I'm happy regardless of my location. I suck it up and push forward...pull myself up by my proverbial bootstraps. I'm an Army Wife, right? No time to complain....just keep moving.

It's not always easy, but we make it. We Kentucky girls come from some tough bloodlines. It's amazing where faith and determination can take you.

Holidays are the toughest, though. I've never really been one who cares a ton about my birthday....it's kinda just another day for me....but for the past two birthdays, I've been truly touched by the outpouring of kindness I've been shown.

I just wanted to take a minute to say thank you to everyone who has taken time out of your life to wish us well or just say "hi." You have no idea how much your support means to Nate and I. We appreciate you all so very much. You make being away from home easier on us and our families. Thank you, and God bless.
