Roots

I love the peaceful, easy feeling I get when I look at our forever home in the country.  I long for the day 12 years from now when we actually live on this land that gives me this peaceful, easy feeling.  Thinking about the long crazy journey we have ahead of us in the Navy I am calmed by the fact that we have roots in the state that I love as much as the state I grew up in.
I guess Texas isn't for everyone (thank goodness).  People think I'm crazy to love this place so much.  I embrace the Texas pride that my husband and I have in our home.  I have learned how to reach out to people I hardly know and don't know at all just for the sake of being nice from the people down in this part of the country.  They're just good people.
Anyway, for the next 3 years I will savor the peaceful, easy feeling I get from this.  I live without the love of my life for more than half the year but I am truely a blessed woman.

You are a very blessed woman. You have a HUGE heart. God bless Jase, he's a strong, brave man and sacrifices A LOT to take care of you and Mr. Bubba. LOVE your pictures. Missing you :)

Its wonderful that you have something to look towards. Navy life can get so daunting but knowing there is light at the end of the tunnel makes the days a little lighter. I pray that God grows you and your family closer together during this sea tour!
