I love to hear when things are actually done right for our soliders!!
Just wanted to send a quick thanks to you and your family.
Ditto, Becca!
tlh, what a wonderful gesture for your family! I love hearing things like this
yeah when we had our daughter we had a 3 bedroom house but it was tiny!! we moved when she was 2 months old because my husband was wounded in combat and we received a free house from a foundation that helps wounded soldiers! it was a blessing! our new house has 5 bedrooms and 4 1/2 baths so we have plenty of room now. my hubby is complaining because he doesn't want to move furniture around for the kids to share a bathroom but i don't want my kid sharing a bathroom with the guest bedroom. i think it makes more sense to have two kids share a bathroom and have the upstairs guest bedroom have its own bathroom. he'll get on board when he sees that i'll move it myself if he doesn't do it

Thanks! it's awesome. i never heard of anything like it so when my husband applied right when i found out i was pregnant with my daughter i told him yeah right its never gonna happen but whatever. The foundation called us the day i went into labor while i was at the hospital to tell us we were being considered and 2 months later we were in our house! they flew my husband, me and our daughter out to New York to present us with the key to our home at the NY Giants vs NY Jets game so it was an amazing opportunity. we tell all our military friends about them because they are always getting new homes to give to combat heroes!!
Has anyone been thinking about names/decided on names yet? by this point last time we had a boy name and a girl name decided so when i found out our daughter was a girl we started calling her by her name. now my hubby never wants to decide on a name and i want to so maybe i'll name him/her without him
That is an amazing story! I honestly always feel like military wives with spouses that deploy to warzones are amazing. My husband is a sailor so he's not in any "real" danger despite his regular job hazards, I really couldnt imagine him going to combat. I have no idea how to say it without sounding awful, but I have never understood why people tell ME they are sorry my husband is gone etc. im always like really? go say that to a woman who's husband is in a war zone, mines on a freakin boat its really not that serious *uh* ya so hats off to you! I think ya'll are some of the strongest wives out there
We do have names picked, we have had our girl name picked since before we found out I was expecting. Our boy name we LITERALLY picked today. we have been so back and forth cause my husband has ultrimate say cause its our last child, and he wants to be able to name our last boy. and I got complete say of the girl name cause it would be our only daughter.
Girl name is
Wilhelmina Evelyn-Wilhelmina was my great grandmother, she helped raised me, I was named after her daughter who was killed by a drunk driver. Her and I were very close. Evelyn is a name I just love, and is coincidentally My husbands great grandmothers name
Boy name is
Hank Moseley- Im SO glad my husband picked Hank because I wanted to name one of our sons after my great grandfather. we spent a lot of years on his farm as children, but my husband was insistent on Moseley for a middle name and I dont like doing names together that end in the same sound so Henry was out. But we called my grandpa 'Hank' So its perfect!
The only set of grandparents/extended family I was really close to was my great grandparents so I was REALLY wanting to keep their names alive somehow. and am very excited to be able to.
Long explanations but I am in LOVE with the names so I love to share! but really feel like this bean is a girl! we'll find out early Monday morning!!
