My three kids are my inspiration :-)
After having them around and home educating them all through high school--the house seems pretty empty. I miss their energy. And the workouts:-) I have a lot of great memories from our little gym in the garage. The boys used to call it the "house of pain"--but since they left, I call it the "house of discomfort":-) They were intense! But they keep inspiring me in our conversations.
One of the best memories I have:--Before the youngest left for Boot Camp (2008), he, my oldest son, and I went to Colorado and made our first AFF sky dive jump together. Not tandem jumps, but the first jump in the Accelerated Free Fall program. I had made a couple of static line jumps eons ago and this was just like the best ever:-) So when the youngest earned his Airborne wings--I was thrilled (He now has his Class A):-) Unfortunately, my daughter was on call and couldn't make the jump with us. (8/2011 she did the Nevis Bungy in New Zealand:-)
God is good. They are all three amazing. I miss the little kids they were but I so enjoy the young adults they have become:-)
I am so grateful to the military families for their sacrifices!! I really didn't understand until my two boys joined. It is tough but I am very proud of them--I miss my Army Ranger and my Marine:-)
Update: The Ranger is now a Cadet at West Point:-) The Marine is married (I am shocked)! And my daughter is an RN who loves working in the OR:-) She is married to a rancher.
