As most little girls growing up you dream of finding your 'prince' , getting married and having children. Our life was not always easy but I knew I was loved and wanted to share that with someone special in my life.
Fast forward to NOW. Two of my sisters have 'my life'. They are married with children and I am still single and looking for Mr. Right. I have met some amazing men in my life and have found that if I ever need any help I could call on them and they will be there. So, I have traded my 'husband' for some special friends.
I know I know-I am always reminded that God has a plan for our lives and that He will guide us to what we need to be doing in it. That gets me to thinking sometimes of what I AM doing with my life. I was gifted with a personality to make friends and enjoy most people I meet. I am able to have the time to work with QC FIST, MarineMoms, NavyMoms, PGR and other organizations that honor our Veterans. I am able to be involved with several political campaigns. I can travel with my best friend to concerts in many different states. I can love and spoil my nieces and nephews and then send them home to their parents. haha
I am able to devote time to promoting on my own people or things that hold worthwhile meaning for me. Some may argue that I am just 'filling' my life because I don't have someone else in it. But, when I think of everyone I know and have known my life is filling up pretty good. I have been able to meet people of a variety of age ranges and societal placements. I have two much older friends that have taught me 'dapper and manners' NEVER go out of style. My Veteran friends and Christian friends remind me of the saying 'only two people were willing to die for you-Jesus Christ and the American Soldier'. That gives me comfort and joy that I have the FREEDOM and Eternal Life to enjoy my life so far.
When our lives have reached a point where God says 'it is time you meet' I will be ready to share my life with his. Until then I will be grateful for what I do have and continue FORWARD.

Annette!!! You are very insightful, and I always love reading what you have to say! I too, have been blessed with the ability to enjoy getting to know others, and that's something I wouldn't trade for the world! Just as God has blessed you in the past, he will bless you with someone great in the future. Someone you can love here, and also enjoy eternity with. You are sepcial person, and deserve someone equally as great! :-)

I keep telling you that your calling lies in PR/Management. You would be an AWESOME manager! In fact, if you don't switch professions soon, I am going to get famous doing something just so that YOU can be MY manager!!!!!
And don't worry about finding yourself a man. They would have to fight through HOW MANY marines anyway??
I love reading what you have to say! Its honest and [stealing a word from Shanna] insightful! I'm a big softie/romantic at heart, and I think you'll find someone when you least expect it. God will bring him at just the right time.
