PEACEFUL MORNINGS WATCHING THE SUN RISE

Image
I recently moved to a beautiful place called Guantanamo Bay Cuba . I decided before even reporting here, that I would use the time here to bring our family closer together. I feel as though we were already close, but as the children are getting older, I find it harder to find activities that appeal to all of us. My husband is FINALLY on shore duty so that means this is uninterrupted FAMILY TIME...... So no time here in Guantanamo will go in vain.....NO WAY!!! I plan on using every passing moment here doing family activities or at least activities which I feel might bring us closer together. (SMILE) When we first got here, we all walked TOGETHER AS A FAMILY... Boy was that a big mistake. Four different people PLUS a dog. BIG MISTAKE.....Four different ideas of what WALKING truly entailed. It just did not work well for us. I took off one day alone trying to find a pace that was best suited for me. When I walked alone I realized...I LIKED IT. I liked walking alone. So family time tog...

Good morning to all my blogger followers this morning...Wow, its a beautiful Day here in Guantanamo Bay...Had a wonderful time Saturday night at the 2011 Khaki Ball ... We enjoyed the night with our wonderful friends and met some new ones in the process. This year I decided to wear a pants outfit  ( DID SHE JUST SAY SHE WORE PANTS TO A BALL? ) I know that wearing pants to a BALL is a  little nontraditional... But for all those who know me understand that this Navy Girl has NEVER been one to be a follower.....(Smile) I wore what made me comfortable... I encourage anyone who has an event to go to, To wear something that looks good and feels good as well. To all my wives who are heading to your ball.. Please enjoy the night and make lasting memories.  PLEASE Dress respectively, represent your husband with respect and always say a THANK YOU. Remember to be safe and NEVER DRINK AND DRIVE. GOD BLESS.

Congrats to Redd and Bonita as they celebrate with a pinning Ceremony today... Patrick and I want to say that we love you both and wish that we were able to witness this milestone in your families career.

THANKFUL FOR MY FAITH HAVING FAITH WHEN YOU RECEIVE SHOCKING NEWS HELPS KEEP THINGS IN PERSPECTIVE.... I always say that there is something very powerful in a persons personal testimony. That is why I am re-sharing this personal story that my family experienced...My husband Patrick had back surgery a couple of years ago and the entire sequence of events that followed changed our lives forever....... ME AND MY HUSBAND PATRICK Our relationship as a couple grew, our love for each other intensified and our relationship with God became UNBREAKABLE!! I remember hearing the doctor say that Patrick would need back surgery..Slowly the words were beginning to resonate. I was listening but I could not react... All I could think about was how different our lives would be. I kept saying Lord I need your direction. I need you to lead us to make the right decisions today. Patrick had a wonderful surgeon and I remember thinking he looks way to young to perform surgery on my...

ANOTHER PCS MOVE......TIME TO SAY GOODBYE TO FLORIDA

Image
As most of you know…I have decided to join my husband Master chief Campbell in Guantanamo Bay Cuba as he prepares for this final chapter of serving 20 years in the United States Navy….Its been really hard trying to manage two different households and still maintain a level of sanity while my husband has been so far away. In all my years active duty in the Navy and for all the years I have been a dedicated Navy wife to my husband , I have had no regrets.. Each stop along the way has made me the wife, the mother and the person that I am today. Having each other every day is a blessing So I have packed up my family, gave my beloved bird a new home and said goodbye to my comfortable house in Florida and brought my FAMILY TOGETHER AS ONE as we step together into the future…My love for my family has influenced how I feel and the way that I treat others around me. Anybody that REALLY KNOWS ME, understands there was no other choice...... I woke up this morning and I realized th...
