Wait...What just happened?

In hopes that this long post doesn't bore you, i'm inserting videos and things to make it REAL for you! So this  last week, was crazy busy, between the normal everyday  things, midterms, and trying to manage events that Nate was supposed to be at, it was completely overwhelming, from Saturday to Saturday has been Non-Stop. Last Friday Nate went and had dinner with his Hero, Tim Tebow, talk about seeing a man so happy he could burst! I'm convinced that if given the opportunity he would leave me for Tebow, his list of things he loves are as follows: Food, Tim Tebow, His Wife. Hahaha. He went out and bought a new suit and everything! Saturday was the Tim Tebow Foundation Charity Golf Tournament, I took the kids out for a little bit, didn't bring the stroller, biggest mistake of my life, it took us two hours to get to where Nate was, so we missed seeing  his opportunity to tee off for Tim Tebow, but if you can imagine, he was on cloud 9, I heard he choked and hit the ball like 50 feet, but lets not tell him I told you! Sunday was Mothers Day, we had a neighborhood barbeque to celebrate, although lately we have a barbeque every time on of us parks our car right, so it was not out of the ordinary, but amazing nonetheless. I absolutely love being surrounded by friends that love and support us no matter what! I think I stayed up a little too late Monday, so I found myself putting my finishing touches on my midterm THAT morning....ooops, I think I still did well though! Monday night I worked my tail off getting the rest of my midterms and homework done because we had known for a while that Tuesday night was a little social event, and since we had been asked to represent Military Warrior Support Foundation at The Players Championship on Wednesday, we were invited to that too! The neighbors watched our babies on Tuesday night, they are incredible, I haven't had this much one on one time with Nate since probably before we had kids. Anyways, we went to Pussers for some drinks and appetizers, and had a chance to mingle with people from Birdies for The Brave, Chase, Military Warrior Support Foundation, and some others i'm probably forgetting. It was a lot to take it. We also got to meet some other families who had been helped by Military Warrior Support Foundation, as well as the family that they were giving a home to on Wednesday night. Now, those of you who have been reading a while know that we applied for a home last year, and we were unable to qualify because we owned a home, and it would have caused more stress in our lives than the stress it would relieve. Yea, I might have been upset, but that's life, and they only want whats best for their families. So, we applied again just a couple months ago when they had posted a home just up the road from where we are now, unfortunately, we STILL owned our home, it closed yesterday! Oddly we weren't really disappointed this time because instead of dropping us off the face of the earth MWSF decided to include us in helping surprise the family who was receiving the home, and unless you are the most cold-hearted individual in America, anyone would be proud to help with such an amazing gift! I was soo excited to part of that! Wednesday morning, we took part in a little Military Appreciation event, at the Patriots Outpost at TPC Sawgrass,  Daris Rucker thanks our Military by singing the National Anthem,

they had the 82nd Airborne division choir which was amazing, i'm such a music fan, they sang a James Taylor song, which always gets me, I LOVE HIM.

I could have watched that ALL day! My Day was already made at that point, and then they TOPPED it by giving my husband a Brand New Dell Laptop...i'm going to steal it...he just doesn't know it yet. So at this point the pieces were coming together, we came out to help surprise the Sayo's and we got something too? Incredible! Who just gives away laptops, I mean really, that's kind of a Big Deal! That ceremony was over at 12 so I had to rush out of there to be at school at 1 for my black and white 2 midterm, i'm sure I was running off complete fumes by this point. I could not concentrate at all, I wanted everyone to know that this warrior and his family was getting a home, and it was going to be amazing and they should all watch the golf channel because it might be on there, it didn't feel like midterm day at all! So I take my midterm, leave, I ditched my Wednesday night class.... and try to meet up with my husband at Mayport. Well those of you who know PAM, my GPS know that she fails me ALL the time, this was NO exception. I ended up in some place im sure was another state because there was NO water! When I finally got turned around it took me to a ferry, and there was NO way I was about to drive my car up on a boat. I was soooo frustrated that I almost just went home, but the fact that Darius Rucker was going to be there kept me going! When I got to the course we had to go straight to the stage and get ready for the presentation, Patricia Sayo had no idea, I was so excited to see her reaction, I couldn't see his since we were behind them. There was Military everywhere, Every branch was represented! It was beautiful, they even had a flyover.
Now if you all are anything like me, you get lost in this stuff, it makes me so proud to be an American, so proud to be part of the Military Family, I just get so emotional! So after that Wounded Warrior Project was presented a 10,000 dollar check, and they began to prepare for the presentation of the house. Jim Furyk who is like a really amazing golfer according to my sources, was the presenter. He had both the guys come up next to him, and he told them how they are heroes,  and to be completely honest I was watching Patricia to get her reaction so I missed the rest LOL, anyways, he says something along the lines of the real reason we are here is to award a warrior a mortgage free home, now remember, we KNOW its Anthony, so we are anticipating reactions from both him and his family, so Mr. Furyk hands Anthony the key to his brand new home, and instantly Patricia is crying, i'm hugging her, telling her i'm so excited and everything, and Nate is hugging Anthony, and then just as Nate goes to sit back down, he says, but wait, we have a surprise for you too, and whips out another Key, I was still so caught up in excitement for the Sayo's that I didn't even hear that part, I looked up and Nate had a key in his hand too, and the waterworks began, pretty sure my mascara ruined everyone's white shirts, and I almost fell out of my chair! The amazing individuals from Chase and MWSF were all right there to hug me, and to add an extra bang, they started planning this 5 months ago, can you believe that, they did an amazing job of planning, and keeping the secret.  I am still in dream mode, I feel like any second i'm going to wake up. I don't know if they know just how much this means to me and my family, and I don't know that I will ever find a way to appropriately thank them, but I do know this much, the gift does not stop here!
