Yeehaw! 🐴 Tonight we went to the Reins Annual Fundraiser Hoedown and got a little more dressed up than normal when we come here and get horse slobber and dust all over us!
This was our second year coming together and Reins has become so special to our whole family that even my mom and Grandma Doris came too this year.
The third picture is from last year when Scott got to be a part of the demonstration during the hoedown.

“May you grow to be proud, dignified and true.

And do unto others as you'd have done to you.

Be courageous and be brave.

And in my heart you'll always stay
forever young.” We are happy to share we are expecting Baby Thorne due in March!

As embarrassing as this first pic may be, I really was THAT excited about seeing the Blue Angels today.

I had no idea we’d be able to get so close to the planes and then get to meet two of the pilots in addition to all the excitement.

I first saw the Blue Angels fly a few years ago and I remember it being so magical and I got that exact same feeling today.

Today is the 15 year anniversary of Scott getting injured while serving in the Army in Iraq.
•
About a month ago I shared about his journey on my stories for Purple Heart Day but I have never posted about it.
•
Scott is a retired Army Cavalry Scout and was awarded a Purple Heart after surviving a bullet to the left side of his head while serving in Iraq.
•
After his injury he received rehabilitation services to relearn how to walk and talk again, and underwent surgeries to his skull.
•
He is now legally blind in the right visual field of each eye, cannot feel the right side of his body, hearing impaired on the left side, and has aphasia.
•
The .762 bullet is still in his head. You can see where it’s located in the third picture. The doctors decided it was safer to leave it in his head then to risk more damage by removing it.
•
He loves sports and being active and does his best to not let his injuries stop him. We spent the day at the beach where he got to race kayaks and swim which was a perfect way to celebrate how far he’s come since this day 15 years ago.

I’ve been sick the past week and I just want to share some appreciation for this man. Even when he’s had a bad headache himself he’s been patient and kind, and even made me food while I gave him instructions through FaceTime while both at home because I was too sick to cook myself. 😂 I hit the freakin jackpot with you Scott. 💜
