My Blog

Hey Guys! I'm still alive and doing pretty good. I have had a busy past few months with several surgeries and medical problems. I'm no longer able to work due to my health and can't get SS Disability on my side so it's been rough. Trying to pay off medical bills and pay for my chemo has been very costly. I had cancer but thank God I won! I just opened an online boutique to try to make a living so check it out. http://lacreshasboutique.com   I will have some plus size tops next week, and I offer religious & Inspirational jewelry and other jewelry pieces. I will be working on adding to my plus size clothing and I have my bath line coming out around May or June. So check out my website! Hopefully you'll find something you like.
We have a new grandson! Hunter Ray was born March 5th. I'll post pics of him later. Jeremy will be 2 in May. I find it hard to believe! I'll have to update my photos.

Brad is coming home from Iraq soon and he's hoping to get into college. Hopefully he will get into a good school. Josh is heading to Ft. Sill to attend his AIT training and will be away 5-6 weeks.

I missed you guys! Hope all has been well with all of you :o)
Love,
LaCresha

News came in yesterday afternoon that Brad will be deployed to Iraq the 18th of August :'o( He will do a 12 month tour and may even do a split tour. 6 months in Afghanistan and 6 months in Iraq. I'm on a emotional roller coaster right now. I can't believe he will be in a war! I'm proud of him but also scared for him. This sucks!

I'm going to be a grandma again!! Kassy called me this morning with the news!!

I have been MIA and I'm sorry. I've been busy with moving and packing up the house. We are moving in 3-4 weeks and life is keeping us busy along with packing. Brad is graduating from AIT this Wednesday. He is done with his training. Now we wait to see if he will be deployed to Iraq.
Josh graduates basic training August 8th :o) He's doing good! Chad and I celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary on July 2nd. We had a nice day together. Here are some photos from our day.
Take care guys!

 Thursday was family and our first time to see and hug our soldiers in over 10 weeks!! Friday was graduation day and right after he graduated he had to report to his AIT unit. We waited a couple of hours for him to get processed into his new unit and to see if he would get a weekend pass to come home with us. HE DID!!!!! We've had a wonderful weekend with him. Today he goes back to Ft. Sill to begin his AIT training. I hate to see him go again. This is the only weekend he will have to come home. He will have access to his cell and laptop in the evening though. He's not taking his laptop because one of the guys had his stolen Friday after just arriving at AIT.

Josh should have started basic Friday at Ft. Jackson. I haven't heard from him. We don't even have an address yet. I'm hoping he will call today. Here is a video  from Thursday. It's of me hugging my soldier (Brad) for the first time in  over 10 weeks!! Enjoy!

This morning we handed Josh (son #2) over to Uncle Sam :o( He will be at Ft. Jackson, SC. for 10 weeks for basic training. I'm such a wreck right now...I do have a something to look forward to though. Brad graduates next Friday!!!! We will get to see him Thursday also :o) That is keeping me going!! I will try to post here more often, sorry I've been MIA. I've been blogging at my other blog....

Come visit me there anytime :o)

and a few complications came up unexpectedly. I had to have 2 blood transfusions and spend some extra time in the hospital. I'm now home but I am very weak. Just wanted to let you know I'm home and doing alright so far.

Well by the grace of God my mom is paying the upfront fee. Of course we had to hear a lot of blah, blah, blah....but it's done! This week has been a rough week for me, very, VERY emotional for some reason. I think it has to do with Josh leaving in 4 weeks, and Brad's training has stepped up to "White Phase" which means he is very busy and tired. I've missed him so much this week, it was like the week he left...BAD! I did find some photo's I've been searching for.

  These were taken June 2000 when we lived in West Texas. This was allllllll they EVER played...ARMY.
