Proud Mom to a 1-89 Cavalry Scout: Almost a month

Almost a month

OMG!!! It has been almost a month since I have had a spare moment to do anything even remotely considered blogging.
We have been so busy with baseball this year that it seems like the only time I am not at the ball park, I am at work. I am sick of dust and concession stand dinners but, the season is finally over and hopefully we will be able to skip All Stars this season although I will not know that for sure until tomorrow. We are also in the process of trying to buy a house and that is taking up a lot of time filling out papers and finding required documents etc. And my custom scrapbook business is taking off like fire right now with lots of baseball albums that need to be completed for others before I can even think about starting D~man's for this year. Enough with the excuses, lets see what I can tell all of you about the Cav World.

We are facing the big "D" word in a few short months and although I knew this would be coming I am still trying to wrap my mind and heart around the news that it will be sooner than we thought. Our Scout will be home sometime in August for a few weeks so we are all looking forward to that.
I was finally able to join the VFRG for the 1-89 and I have enjoyed reading all the information that is on there. Lately my phone conversations with Chris have been sitting in a lawn chair at the ball park and we spend alot of time saying "huh, what did you say?" because it is hard to hear over the cheering.
Chris has been having trouble with a shoulder injury and has had to do physical therapy the last few weeks so please remember him in your prayers.
I hope to get back to checking all of my favorite blogs and keeping this one more up to date now.
Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

God Bless,

Tami

Michelle said...: You do custom scrapbooking? You may be the answer to my procrastination. Tell me more about this and how it works.

I am glad that you will get to see Chris for a few weeks soon. I will get to see Shay for about 20 days starting this Friday. We are meeting in Portland, OR on Friday and then we have a banquet on Saturday and then on Sunday night we fly back to Tampa and get in around 11am on Monday. Immediatly we drive to Destin, FL and spend a week at the beach with hubby's dad, aunt, uncle, cousins, and kids., 18 of us all together. I get to keep Shay until July 8th. I am so excited.

Good to see you back.; Jun 15, 2009, 10:17:00 AM

From my heart to God's ears

Father God~
Please send your angels of safety, love and peace to watch over our brave military men and women and please father ask them to give a extra squeeze to my Scout and Tyson, Matt G, Russ, Kyle, Mitchel, Jason, Warren, Matthew P, Josh, Chris C, Rush and the rest of the 1-89. I ask that you keep them safe, help them complete their mission and bring them all home safely. Father, I ask that you guide those in command as they make hard decisions that effect so many. I ask that you watch over the loved ones of all those in harms way and comfort those with heavy hearts.
Father, I know that without you all would be lost and I claim these request in your name. I thank you Father each time I see Scout pop up on my instant message or on his facebook because I know that at that moment all is well. And please provide termite control for their mascot Plank who gives comic relief where not much laughter is found. I will continue to give you all the glory each and every day. Amen

The Soldier's Mother Creed

"I am the mother of an American Soldier"I give my complete and unwavering support to my soldier.As my son serves the people of the United States, so I humbly offer up my prayers for his safety and the safety and health of those he serves beside. I respect his choice to adhere to a strict moral code and system of values that has preserved our great country for over two centuries.I accept that my soldier's first duty is to his country and I understand that this sacrifice he willingly makes is what keeps our nation great.I will never expect anything but the best from my soldier for I know he is capable. I know that a soldier's heart is true and strong, and that my soldier will endure. I will never abandon my soldier, my son, my love. I will love him unconditionally. he will know I am there for him, even when he is alone.I am disciplined, emotionally and mentally tough, learning to wait for phone calls and letters or emails home. I, like my soldier, am an expert. I stand ready to do what ever I can do to let my son, my soldier, know that we are here for him, beside him, we love him and I will pray for swift destruction of the enemies of our country. I am the person who stood guardian of this man who has become my soldier, now our guardian of freedom and the American way of life."I AM THE MOTHER OF AN AMERICAN SOLDIER."

Fiddler's Green

Half way down the trail to Hell,
In a shady meadow green.
Are the souls of all dead troopers camped,
Near a good old time canteen.
And this eternal resting place,
Is known as Fiddlers' Green.

Marching past straight through to Hell,
The Infantry are seen.
Accompanied by Engineers,
Artillery and Marines.
For none but shades of the Cavalrymen,
Dismount at Fiddlers' Green.

Though some go curving down the trail,
To seek a warmer scene.
No Trooper ever gets to Hell,
Ere he's emptied his canteen.
And so goes back to drink again,
With friends again at Fiddlers' Green.
