25 was a birthday to remember.....

So yeah i hit the quarter of a century mark, pretty awesome. I wanna thank everyone that thought of me and gave me well wishes on this day... My mama texted me this morning at 5:30, and told me "Happy Birthday Meg, you were born at 8:30 on a Friday, wide awake and hungry." Yeah that was me alright, because if you know me, im always lively and i like to eat.
This birthday had SO many big events for me, some happy and another sad. Jonathan left the states today headed for Iraq and he took half my heart with him, i miss that piece, because that piece is him. I will never forget this day because of this reason, and i pray and hope that he will come home safe to me, so for number 26 he will be here.
My sweet first born child Macy started kindergarten today, she loved it, and im happy that shes happy. I take myself back to that day in May 2006, when i learned what true love really was. Ive watched her grow into a little lady, who is the mirror image of her mother. He has her daddys dimples in the bottom of her back, and her mama's smile. A single piece of Heaven sent just for us. I thank the Good Lord everyday for blessing me with her life, and for all the years i hope to enjoy raising her for His glory.
i got many gifts that i will treasure for the rest of my life, some that i can pass on to my daughters one day, and to their daughters. The people that mean the most to me in my life truely showed me how much they care.
God blesses us with every year, and we take that for granted. Some never saw their 25th birthday, and yet they are so much better off than us. Im thankful that God has allowed me to be here, and experience all that i have and all that i hope to see and do.
To all my military wives, dont let your hearts and minds be troubled. For the bible tells in John 15:13 that it is a great thing for a man to lay down his life for his friends.... My birthday has been great, thanks to all of you.... May God bless yall, and may God bless the 204th and the USA!!!!!

A birthday verse to live by....
Psalm 71:6From birth I have relied on you; you brought me forth from my mother's womb. I will ever praise you. (NIV)

With love...
Meg
