A moment of silence for our fallen, please

Hi everyone! Hope everyone's memorial weekend and Memeorial Day is fantastic!! let me know what all your plans are and what fun you are having! we plan on going to the ceremony 15 mins up the road. and don't forget to take a moment of silence for all our fallen men and women! remember, if you are enjoying your freedom, thank a vet!  So far... we went to the beach Friday and Saturday just for a swim, the weather has been so beautiful! Did i tell you i bought a kayak? ya it hurts  bit the day after but if i pace my self i recover and can do it again a few days later or the week after. Matthew LOVES kayaking with me! it is a whole new hobby for us.... and its' funny, cuz it has taken me this many years (3 to be exact) to convince him to go kayaking with me. lol  we jump out of the kayak over the bright blue water and check out all the fish. the one day a HUGE sea turtle came swimmin up to us.... and i mean this was the BIGGEST turtle i've seen so far. it's illegal to touch em of feed em so we have to leave it alone. but they are so Beautiful!!! i love reptiles... did i tell you that? well ever since Ricky moved out, the house has been very peaceful. the room is so pretty, and we can't wait for our 1st guest to stay in it. we are thinking of also turning it into a game room so the guys can play their games else where other than just my room. mom didn't like the idea, but oh well. Calvin (the guy that helped me record at the tv station Olelo) wants me go "full time" as an advocate for veterans  which means opening a "non-profit account" with the IRS and also gettin big time grants. i would also be traveling (like to DC) as well. in order to get the IRS account i need to get my own "official board" and board members. no biggie....  well i'm just a bit worried if i can even handle all this. but he wants me to do this because of how i fight for vets and especially us vets with FMS (my support group). THAT and because how the Tripler army hosp stole my support group and made it their own after telling me they didn't have room. i'm still pretty pissed and feel like i have been back stabbed!! anyways... let me know how you all been doin! peace.... God bless!

Wow....you\'re doing so much!! Talk to Sue (peacen2you) about the registering for not-for-profit etc, cos she just went through all that, I\'m sure she\'d help you, or give you some advice!!
