HAPPY VETERANS DAY FELLOW VETS AND followers...
Been a while since we've seen you. Hope your all HAPPY AND WELL!!
NEVER FORGET- THERE IS ALWAYS SOMEONE THERE, AND THERE'S ALWAYS SOMEONE WHO CARES!!! I Check these pages often and you can always PM me.
I know it seems we have not done much here, however, BIG THINGS ARE HAPPENING!!
READ ON FOR GOOD ADVENTURE!
I am an ARMY VET who was staitoned at YPG in '94-'96, and worked on the M1A1.
I am from Colorado. While in Yuma, I discovered SNOWBIRDING. I never knew what a SNOWBIRD was until living in Yuma. I didn't even know that was an option or a lifestyle. So when I heard about SNOWBIRDS, I decided then and there I was going to choose that lifestyle one day. I'M NOT ONE SO MUCH FOR LIVING IN SOCIAL BOXES. LOL
FAST FORWARD- 26 YEARS LATER- as some of you know, I met my husband NOW EX AT YPG during a joint forces training in 1995. We were testing MOP GEAR IN THE DESERT. LOL. We were even married at the YPG CHAPEL. I got my discharge, moved to Camp Pendleton with my Marine husband, moved back to my home in Colorado, popped out a couple kids, bought a sticks and bricks, and lived the American dream.... NOT HEHE. Unfortunately that marriage ended in 2016. We were married 21 years and have 2 beautiful kids who are now adults.
THIS FINALLY TAKES ME TO WHERE I AM TODAY.
I'm FINALLY LIVING MY DREAM. I DID IT- MY KIDS ARE RAISED AND I CAN SAVE SOME MONEY AND DO ME!🙏 WHEW
I built out my minivan camper and hit the road. I plan to road trip all around Arizona and Nevada this winter. I plan to hit the Quartzsite rock show in January and will be spending time in both Quartzsite and Yuma in January and February, and heading to Sedona for some healing, MINDFULNESS MEDITATION, and checking out Prescott... I HOPE ONE DAY TO CREATE A MINDFULNESS MEDITATION SANCTUARY ON MY COLORADO PROPERTY, FOR PEOPLE TO COME AND PARTICIPATE IN SOME FUN, RELAXING MEDITATION, Pet Therapy, AND other REALLY HELPFUL HEALING ACTIVITIES. IT'S GONNA BE AWESOME! I'M WELL IN MY WAY TO MY DREAM.
As many of you know,
SU***DE AWARENESS IS NEAR MY HEART AS I LOST MY BEST FRIEND TO SU***DE 2Y AGO. Needless to say i almost lost mine more than once as well. I CAN DEFINITELY RELATE TO THE TRAGIC FALL OUT THAT FOLLOWS THESE UNFORTUNATE EVENTS. ANYWAY, HOPE TO POST MORE ON SU***DE AWARENESS HERE IN THE FUTURE. BUT FOR NOW I HOPE EVERYONE KNOWS WE'RE AVAILABLE ANYTIME FOR AN EAR, QUESTIONS, RESOURCES, ETC..
Right now- while living and
traveling around, I'm SAVING MONEY, healing, taking business classes (doing online school), and working. So I'm super busy which is good for me.
ANYWAY, TIME IS TICKING AND LOTS TO BE DONE TO REACH THIS DREAM. I WISH YOU ALL WELL THIS VETERANS CELEBRATION,
THANK YOU TO OUR VETS AND FAMILIES THAT HAVE ALL SACRIFICED SO MUCH FOR US TO BE HERE! WE APPRECIATE YOU ALL SO MUCH!
