hanging with dad....
Saturday was a good day for the most part. Faith slept in and then we loaded up to go to my moms new house to finish putting the skirting on the trailer so she can move in. Faith was just mad at the world and wouldn't put a smile on her face for anything. Just out of the blue she came up to me and asked if I wanted to go to lunch with her...just me and her...well that was going to be followed by an obvious answer. So I had to break early for lunch and we went and ate at a place called Burritos, it is her favorite. Her friend Bella call that morning and asked if Faith wanted to play and she said she would after lunch. When she got off the phone we had to promise we would go get her if she called and did not feel good. Well finally at around 6:30 last night I went to get her and her little sister from Bella's house and as I pull up to the park across the street I see a little group of kids playing tackle football, and low and behold there is Faith chasing down a boy 25 pounds bigger than her and slamming him to the ground and there pops smile as big as Texas. She came running over to me and said she is having a blast and could I wait a little longer to take her home. Yep I sure did and yep she was whooping some boys butts....I think we have found a great way for her to let off some steam...a crazy yet good way. Who would have ever guessed, she is usually very timid to try new things, but she has some great little friends that attempt to understand what she is going through and try their hardest to make her feel better. That is what I love about the military, we all have so much yet so little in common, and we are like an extended family. It is crazy to see how being poor can bring some great families together!!! LOL Here's to hoping we have just as wonderful a Sunday. KrisandRenae
