Frankers…
It is no secret that military life is hard on families. I have seen countless marriages end because of the pressures of military life on top of regular life. Military families experience lengthy separations from deployments and training, and long work days when they are home (at least we do!!!). Timelines are never solid, always […]
Most people who know me know how much I love cardinals. I have loved them as long as I can remember. I used to watch them from the window of my Grandma’s old farmhouse and I still remember the awe I felt. Even as a child they gave me a peace and reassurance that I […]
I read this blog the other day via a friend on Facebook (http://www.scissortailsilk.com/2013/09/01/hope-after-miscarriage/) and it spoke to me in a big way. Her loss was different than my loss, but I wish I had her courage and faith in the face of it. A few things really grabbed me…she said, “Praise became my weapon against […]
Faith When you walk to the edge of all the light you have and take that first step into the darkness of the unknown, you must believe that one of two things will happen: There will be something solid for you to stand upon, or, you will be taught how to fly © Patrick Overton […]

Wow! This week has been long and crazy. As you all know Monday I had to tow my parents van home after it broke down. We made it and it is now fixed…all a relief. I haven’t gotten to speak to Frank all week. This has been excruciating…I worry, I miss him, and nothing is […]
This week was pretty good. I was Mommy/Caretaker to 6 kids this week and I am happy to say that we made it through unscathed. Well…mostly. This week was great…we spent a lot of time at the pool and outside and the house stayed mostly clean!! I had to make an international call to Frank […]
Each moment in life is precious in their own way…they define, they change, and they create who we are. This week has been LLLOOOOONNNNGGGGGG!!!! I finished two classes, Olivia has been in intensives for the Nutcracker, and we had 4 games this week. So glad that is over. I’m proud to say that Frank was […]
Sometimes there are songs that rip your heart out in a completely good way…there are a lot of songs that are special to Frank and I. We have vacation playlists that we have created together, “While I am away” playlists, and just songs that we hear and have to tell each other about immediately. I […]
