Veterans Day

Enjoying this Sunday!

By Allie Pletcher November 11, 2018

This weekend has been a relaxing, stressful and good all wrapped in one. This mamma has been having such a hard time going to bed lately that I have been struggling with concentration due to the lack of sleep. Does anyone else deal with this during this time of month and seasons? It might just be the stress of all these Holidays coming up and the fact that 2018 is almost over, I just have so much on my mind and left to due.  

This weekend has been full of running errands and relaxing at home. My husband decided to build a new coffee bar so one of the errands was Home Depot. I no nothing about wood working and building things, that I was shocked to see my husband does. I mean he did the top part already and it looks amazing. I will have to post pictures and show you all, but if anyone knows about staining wood and coating them send me a message cause I am debating about keeping it the color the wood is or making it another color. 

Today is Veterans Day and I am so honored to be apart of the Army and to serve with my sisters and brothers in arms. I joined the Army back in 2011 and was Active Duty for five years. In 2017 I got out and went into the reserves and been in the reserves now for almost 2 years, this experience has showed be to work hard, to be strong mentally and physically. Joining the Army brought me to my husband and we have been happily married for six years now and with two beautiful girls. I am praying for my friends who are deployed right now and who are still serving on the Active Duty side. I will always be Army Strong and will always have the memories of those who I have lost while Active, who have took a turn for the worse when they got out and for the all long hours I have been in. So Happy Veterans Day Soldiers!!!
