All Because Two People Fell in Love

 On August 27, 1988 a young couple married. The man proposed two days after they met. The woman wondered why it took so long for him to propose. They married weeks after he proposed.

They did not marry so they could be travelers or explorers, yet they ended up spending over 1,100 days in Europe. They visited incredible sights and walked where others have walked for thousands of years. Their travels allowed for them to cross the expanse of the United States, Mexico and also to swim in the Atlantic, the Pacific, the Gulf of Mexico and far too numerous of bodies of waters in between.

They did not marry so they could become historians, yet, every place they traveled/lived, history unfolded before their eyes. From the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, The Civil War, the Spanish American War to both WW1 and WW11. The couple learned that the more they study and learn from history, the better the chance that they won't repeat the pitfalls of previous generations.

They did not marry to advance their education, yet both ended up with over an hundred hours of higher  learning, a Bachelors, and far too numerous training certifications as well as hours upon hours of hands on training. 

They did not marry to become better citizens, yet their love for each other allowed for this to happen, as  they translated the possibilities they created in their own home to their community, county, state and nation. This all began at home. They signed up as volunteers in their community and amassed hundreds upon hundreds of volunteer hours. They put their names upon a ballot-to put up or shut up, as the cliche goes. Neither won, yet they put themselves forward in an understanding in what one can and should be as a candidate-all learned while going door to door. 

They did not marry to become Jack-of-all-trades, yet 35 years of moves to single wide trailers, campers,  military housing, houses, German apartments, a firehall, and two homes that were mirror images of each other afforded-nay, required hands on skills in plumbing, woodworking, electrical work, and simple to not so simple repairs, all side by side learning together.

They did not marry even considering that one day they would lose all their parents, yet they did. The    realization of how important their parents were, deeply changed this couple, and then challenged them. While this couple is still alive, they realized that they could be more, be better in their lives, spend more time with their children and grandchildren.

They did not marry to become roommates. No, they married because they realized that they were          incomplete without the other.  

They did not marry to be brave/bold/or to make a difference, yet in 2021, when the tyranny of the         government swooped in and took all, this couple stood together as they always have, hand in hand in Truth. The government cannot wedge in Truth, it only thinks it can. This couple learned that even though it was very hard for the breadwinner to be fired, standing on the Rights we all have thanks to God, our Founding Fathers, and the Constitution they did not comply with Tyranny and Unconstitutional mandates. It was not easy these past few years, but this couple understood one must NEVER bow down to tyranny and they also understand that they may have to stand against tyranny in the future and will do so hand in hand.

They did not marry because God commanded it. They did not even know Him-then. Now they are       grateful to have followed the promptings of the Holy Spirit, even when they did not understand. (Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:6) 

They did not marry to become devoted Bible believers. Neither had ever read more than a few verses of the Bible. Their walk to God was divinely led because He is always waiting. They understood as a young couple that they needed more in their lives than what the world offered and sought God without knowing God had been moving them to Him.

They did not marry to become parents, even though God says to be fruitful and multiply. They married  to be with each other and discovered that the children made their lives better. They learned to be parents and had many missteps and many sleepless nights filled with worries and fears. They see today, 35 years later, that their efforts were not in vain.(Genesis1:28)

They did not marry to become anything. The young man worked for his father and wasn't receiving a   paycheck. The young woman's thoughts were only of him. Together the young man was able to seek more and the young woman became support in the home to lift him up as well as the family and God gave them both a home, not of mortar, bricks, or wood, but of two becoming one.

Many mark their anniversaries with some dramatic measure-a once in a lifetime trip, or an expensive      piece of jewelry. This couple will  not do that on the 27th. They will instead have a simple day trip to the grocery with a packed lunch and time together. You see, this couple simply in life, learned that they have given 100% nearly every single day, and that has afforded them to see what marriage could be daily-only if, and truly only if, they put the other first. 

Gifts came and still come in all shapes and sizes from changing a diaper, to never having to fill the gas    tank. Some are as incredible as time to take a hot bath, to going out on the Mesa with friends (co-workers). They also ended up gifting their children 24 years of home education, allowing for the input and knowledge that the little brains absorb were their values thus creating a solid foundation. Proverbs 22:6

This couple lives a life that many dream of, especially since 2020.They live on a small piece of property  raising a few critters, growing a wee bit of food, and preserving it all the while enjoying the incredible views of a mountain range to the east and the White Sands to the west. 

So the simplicity of marking this day isn't as important as the incredible journey this couple has taken to arrive at August 27, 2023...all because they fell in love.

They have been married 35 years, 420 months, 12,783 days.

They have 4 amazing children

They have 9 grandchildren and one on the way.

Don't place unrealistic expectations on one single day, instead like this couple place as much energy and love in to each and every day and it will make all the difference.

Signed, 

Jen, the young woman who did not marry for anything but love. 

Bill and Jen

Are you Ready?

 It is a vague question but an important one. Are you ready? You should then be thinking, for what?

Well,  anything goes at this point. Normal from 2019 and before does not exist. 

The probability of the financial system changing forever is not only on the table but being moved forward by not only Fe d No w, as well as the BRICS nations. Since we have not done anything to maintain and secure the dollar, other nations have seen an opportunity and a weakness in leadership to move forward. 

There is a push as well for an alien encounter/invasion? Who would have even guessed this besides Hollywood? Yet, it is being told by credible sources that the government has indeed secured some sort of crafts as well as possibly beings. Now, I am only asking if you are ready for these things to happen. I am not suggesting that I believe that aliens are real. 

There is another idea of creating this euphoric, lovely, amazing 15 minute Cit ies. I struggle with how people can live in a city, and that is my struggle but now, I must share my reasoning, as it is coming to the forefront and will happen. It then becomes easy to control anyone in that city. Entrances and egresses will be controlled. You will have digit al passes to ensure you remain in your district. Food and water are brought into cities as well as garbage and sewage is taken out of the cities. Imagine if the city dwellers decided that they did not want to remain. Control of this city is easy by simply stopping food and water. Imagine if the sewage was stopped from flowing out...

The food  is in the spotlight as meat is a problem. Insane. You may already be eating insects as they have some Keto foods that are including the buggles. Perhaps you don't care, but the truth is that the critters are so multi faceted on the provisions we gain from them. For the vile non compliant people that would not take the  v a x, relax, the solution is being adding to beef and pork. Raising your own critters will not be an option if you are in a city. 

Still speaking of food, let's see how unprepared we are for the contamination of food to happen as it has already been happening since I don't know when. I mean, why is propylene glycol in cake mixes? Why are so many products using wood pulp? Why are food dyes known to cause cancer still in the majority of children's foods? The European Union, Russia, and even China have bans on most of the ingredients graciously fed to the American people. If you wanted a fat, lethargic people, give them treats infested with vileness and boom. To those thinking you are ready as you eat a very healthy diet, are you aware of the fact that the v a x technology is being trialed in greens. Yep, healthy greens. In addition, what is this chemical that is apeel? Feel free to do your own homework. 

Now on to the gas stove idiocy, the electric car disgrace (slave labor, massive earths precious metals needed), and hmm, the outright destruction of parental rights you need to get ready if you are not.

What can you do? What can I do? Well it is quite obvious that the United States has been under an attack from within for a few years and the trajectory may not be able to be changed. 

I will end this post without solutions. It is not for me to provide solutions but more to alert/awaken/ or shine a light on the reality. Some may think I am crazy, conspiratorial or just a silly woman sitting at her desk and ignore the above issues. 

Others will read this and say, there's more, to which I will nod and say this is a hard pill to share so small doses for the uninformed. Those that are awake are most likely ready. I used to say be ready for a few months. Now I say get ready for several years or more. As these are the times we live in. 

I still remain a glass half full person and rest in my faith, my husband and my family all the while preparing for the uncertain future that is ahead of us.
