7 years. 7 years of our almost 9 years of marriage have been lived in the crazy world of a brain injury. ben and i shouldn't be here with the injuries we both suffered but by the grace of God we are. i never liked the reminders of this day and it's emotions, the emotions are not as fresh but they're still there. ive been asked if it would have been easier if ben just died...and ill admit that there are times we've both wanted to walk out the door but id never wish my husband were dead...love keeps us together. i still feel robbed of the life i thought we'd have but at the same time look at all the blessings and healing God has done and given. God blessed me with a man who refuses to give up and given me the stubbornness (sometimes a downside) to fight on. we're grateful for my family and the friends whom have stuck with us and the new friends God has blessed us with who accept us for who we are. we still hope and pray for more healing in bens body but also accept that this is life and despite it all He is good even when we don't see it all the time or think it's the good we want...</div>

we are fine and well! i know it has been almost a year that i have posted...time flies!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i actually have an excuse besides being busy with life! i was blocked out of blogger for some time and finally realized after a few changes that a lot of the log log in info was under my bil! he switched some things around and that effected this blog! when this blog was originally started it was not set up by me and under other info! so, after figuring it all out i could finally log on!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
ok, ok yes life kept me from spending all my time trying to figure it out as well. id work on it, get frustrated and give up...a few times over! sat down for a few minutes today and finally got it to work!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
since it is not originally under my login info (and i don't know how to switch it over...if you know share!) i have yet to decide if i will just start a whole new blog or just continue with this page and try to figure it out later! if we do switch it ill let you know!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
yes, so know that i have figured it out ill try and post more...but you know life!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i leave you with a few photos that we had taken last oct, a week after lil man turned 1...yes one and now he's almost 20 months!</div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">So here is the amazing birth story of our son...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">*rated PG for no graphic details just birth words and a few pics.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">September 20th, my due date came and passed and then another 1.5 weeks passed…we were ready, stick a fork in me, I was done and wanted this baby, and in my arms! </span></span></div>
<div style="min-height: 13px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Sunday, September 28, I went to a baby shower, mowed the lawn, put our outdoor stuff in storage, pulled out all the dead flowers from our planters, cleaned the bathrooms, cleaned the guest room for my sister in law who was flying in to stay with us that Tuesday (because baby was to be here by then), vacuumed and mopped the floors, and organized the garage. I was totally thinking that with all of that this baby would clearly make an appearance, but no he sat right where he was cozy! </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Monday, September 29. I had an appointment with my midwife at the birth house but I ended up having to see another midwife because the one who was on call, yup you guessed it was at a birth and it was not ours! I saw the midwife there to whom said I was not ready but close. Seriously not what I wanted to hear! She asked if I could come back later that day for the midwife on call to see me and check me as well. I was able to go back in and see her. We ended up scheduling an ultra sound for the next day to check baby and amniotic fluid levels since I was so late. I went home and did nothing. I had tried stuff and didn't want to try anymore because I knew at that point he was going to come when he was ready!</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Tuesday, September 30. No baby. Ben had therapy that morning so we made the hour drive so he could go and my sister came along in case anything happened. Of course nothing did! On the way home we picked up my SIL from the airport and she was able to join us later that afternoon for the ultra sound. We were getting the ultra sound done and the tech asked if we were ready to have a baby…umm yes. She went on to ask if our bags were packed…umm yes. And she followed that up with are your bags in the car…ummm yes. At this point I was kind of freaking out by her questions. She was checking my amniotic fluid levels and if they were low then they would need to get moving on getting this baby out. She finished and took the results to the radiologist who read it, came back to us, said everything looked great and we could go home saying they would fax the results to our midwife. I still didn't feel settled about her earlier comments so I called my midwife and she called me back to say the fluid levels were fine and that she would see me the following day for an appointment if I didn't go into labor. </span></span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Wednesday, October 1. No baby and now into October! Ben had a caregiver coming to stay with him that morning so my SIL and I took off for yet another appointment at the birth house. My sister, who was going to be my doula, met us there to get the latest info and the plan. My midwife checked me and I was at a 3/4. This was good yet frustrating news. I was only like a 1/2 on both Monday and Tuesday so there was some progress. So the plan. If I didn't have him by that Saturday it was likely that I would go back under doctors care and be induced because midwives cannot deliver after 42 weeks. I really wanted to have him at the birth house with the midwife so I was willing to do anything at that point to get him out! So castor oil shake in the morning it was! </span></span></div>
<div style="min-height: 13px; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Thursday, October 2. No baby, no feeling like that lil man was even coming that day! No more pressure, no different contractions other then the random braxton hicks I’d had since 27 weeks, nada, nothing, zilch…hello frustration! Since I didn't feel anything I blended up a castor oil shake at about 0830 that morning. It consisted of the oil, haagan dazs chocolate ice cream and whole milk! I have never in my life had an ice cream shake that early in the day but that thing went down the hatch and it was good! By around 1130 I was starting to feel some contractions that were not like the braxton hicks I normally would have but none of them were consistent or painful, just different. Definetly was going to the bathroom due to the oil in the shake and we staying at home for sure. Ben, my SIL and I ate some lunch and then my midwife called around 1pm and asked how I was doing. I told her the contractions were there but nothing that I couldn't handle and not to bad at all. I asked her if I should make another shake because clearly I wouldn't mind some more ice cream…just not the oil. She said to wait and if things slowed down or stopped then to call her and see what to do next. I decided that if this really was going to be the day that I would need some rest. Ben was going to take a rest too so he was at the couch and I decided to go lay down in bed. I remember watching a bit of Dr. Phil which started at 2pm and I fell asleep during his show, sorry Phil! I was awakened about three by what I thought Ben calling me to say he needed to use the rest room but really I was jolted to a strong contraction. I walked out to see if he had called me and he said no and that he was just watching a show. I felt the contractions coming on a little harder now and more consistent. I started timing them, two minutes apart and less! Then they just kept coming and hurting more. I text my sister Anne that she might want to get ready to head over because the plan was for her to pick Ben and I up and take us to the birth center. She said she’d start to pack up and head over. She also said to call her when I couldn’t talk through the contractions anymore. I sat with Ben and my SIL on the couch for a bit and talked through a few of the contractions. My mom popped over because I had told her things were getting started. I then called my sister and said she needed to get to the house soon because the contractions now were like a minute apart and it was def hard to talk through them. She said she was on the freeway about would be there soon. Between contractions I was getting a few things together and preparing Ben for us heading out. The toilet was my favorite spot but I knew I couldn't stay there forever! Ha! My sister got there and found me in the bathroom. She said I needed to call the midwife, give her an update and say we were coming in. I said I didn't want to talk to anyone and that she could call her! She did and then packed up and we left! </span></span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">That car ride was no fun! I was in the back seat, behind tinted windows thank goodness so I wouldn't scare the onlookers and couldn't find a comfortable spot or anything stable to hold on to. When we got to the birth house, about 4:30pm, our midwife met us in the parking lot. My sister helped Ben out and I had two strong contractions in the parking lot. My midwife "C" started massaging my hips and back through those. When they passed we went inside to where she had already started a bath, soft music, candles and diffusing some oils. She checked me and I was at a 4. A 4 I asked? How could I be at a 4 today and in so much pain and a 4 yesterday with no pain and no signs of baby! C said don’t think about the number because I was definitely ready to have this baby boy! I got in the bath tub and that felt good, well as good as a bath could feel when you're in that much pain! I stayed in there for about 30 minutes and then C asked me to get out because my heart rate was getting a little high, I was dehydrated and I was getting a little woozy for the warmness. One huge blessing is that C told me that the birth house was all ours and that nobody but us were there for the rest of the night! I was able to labor in the waiting area which had a tall counter which really helped! During this time I was in pain, alot! </span>The contractions came hard and strong. Sometimes one on top of the other...those were the worst because there wasn't even time to breathe it felt! <span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">I was super uncomfortable and clearly it was not getting any easier. I was wondering when I was going to get a break and right when I would another contraction would come! This is when I said, “and now I know why people get epidurals!” I wasn't getting any of that at a birth house! I also remember saying there was no way that I could do this, it hurt way to bad! I apologize to the neighbors of the birth house if you heard me and the fact that I might have disrupted their dinners...Im sure I </span>wasn't<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"> </span>the<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"> loudest one they have had there...hopefully! About 5:40pm C came up behind me and said she would like for me to climb the flight of stairs that was in the birth house. I thought she was crazy but we started up the stairs. I made it up with I think one contraction on the way up. When we got to the top I felt the need to squat so I did. I had one contraction, stood up and then that was followed up by another one quickly following. I squatted back down and heard a pop, my water had broke at 6:05pm. </span></span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Right after that happened my midwife C said we needed to go back down the stairs and into the birth room so she could check my water. Ben was waiting for me down stairs. He had been encouraging me the whole time with every contraction. You could tell there was concern in his eyes and he hated seeing me in pain but he kept loving on me. So we went back down stairs and she checked my water and praise God it was clear. There was a chance that there was meconium in it from my ultra sound reading but it was clear and that was a huge blessing! C asked me to get back into the tub and I knew this baby was going to be born in there. She had asked me a few weeks prior if I wanted one and I wasn't opposed but also didn't want to deal with the mess of it all. At that point when she mentioned getting in the tub I didn't care because I was in so much pain! </span></span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I got in the tub and she checked me and said he was right there! </span></span></div>
<div style="min-height: 13px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">At this point my mom and other sister slipped into the room to look on and take a few photos! They were waiting down the street at my sisters house…and didn't have to wait long! The plan was for them to come in right before he was born and they made it in time!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I pushed about 2 times to get his head out and I think 1-2 more for his body. 6:35pm was his time of birth! 2 hours after we had arrived at the birth center and 30 minutes after my water broke! I went from a 4-10 in about 1.5 hours! So about total time of labor and delivery was about 3.5 hours start to finish! I still think going this fast was crazy! </span></span></div>
<div style="min-height: 13px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">They handed him right to me and stimulated him at the same time! Healthy boy Cruz Benjamin! Ben and I were elated! Ben was able to cut the cord and then hold him right after. Two things he asked for and they made it a point to do which was awesome! </span></span></div>
<div style="min-height: 13px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I delivered the placenta about 15 minutes after I had him which was super easy. If only delivering a baby was that easy! I wouldn't bring this part up but this was just another part of Cruz being such a miracle. As C was looking at my placenta she noticed something different about the cord. She discovered that one vessel was velamentous. Velamentous cord insertion is an abnormal condition during pregnancy. <span style="color: black;">Normally, the umbilical cord inserts into the middle of the placenta as it develops. In velamentous cord insertion, the umbilical cord inserts into the fetal membranes, then travels within the membranes to the placenta. The exposed vessels are not protected by Whartons jelly and hence are vulnerable to rupture. Rupture is especially likely if the vessels are near the cervix, i</span>n which case they may rupture in early labor, likely resulting in complications of death. We never knew about this and in most situations one doesn't know until the baby is born and placenta delivered! God definitely had His hand on this little mans life! </span></span></div>
<div style="min-height: 13px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">After I got cleaned up and things taken care of Ben and I got into a comfy bed they have in the birth room. Ben refused to rest although the bed was super comfy! It was still early evening and we were on a high! C started examining Cruz again and got all of his stats. </span></span></div>
<div style="min-height: 13px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The whole experience was amazing. I felt that the whole birthing process, although painful, was natural and such a blessing. I felt so in control through the whole process. God was there, Ben was there. Some of my family was there. It was all we had prayed for and then some!</span></span></div>
<div style="min-height: 13px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Ben and I snuggled on the bed with our new little blessing! After some more care to both baby and me some other family was able to visit because they were going out of town. We then got instructions for home and got to go home around 11 that night. Baby Cruz must have been excited to be in his new world or maybe not because he was either crying or eating until 3:30 the next morning! Finally he gave in and we were all able to get some sleep in our own bed! </span></span></div>
<div style="min-height: 13px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">We are still in awe that he is ours and that God had blessed us with him to love, cherish and care for. He knows the desires of our hearts and has honored this desire. This sweet baby boy has already blessed us so much and brought joy to our lives. He is such a content baby and full of smiles. Ben has said multiple times that Cruz makes him happy and that he is so in love with him. </span></span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">This is so good to hear! God is good! </span></span><br />

<br />
we wanted to share with you a video that ben and i were apart of recently. this video they started putting together in may/june and did some follow up along the way. this is the place where ben currently does therapy, two times a week, and they do a fundraiser every year. we were unable to go to the fundraiser due to the timing but they shared the video with us...<br />
<br />
it was filmed in another home and then at the therapy facility ben goes to. it was fun to be apart of and ben did really well along the way...even when he doesn't love being photographed and videod.<br />

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">five years. wow. some days i feel like it all just started yesterday and other days it feels forever.</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">as i type this (wednesday evening) ben looked over at me and said, "im so sorry. i hate this and that you have had to live like this and walk through this with me." my reply, "i hate this for both of us but i am happy to walk with you through this. you amaze me and you are doing such an awesome job and working hard." ben, "i still hate this and am sad about the whole thing."</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">hard for a wife to hear from the man she loves with her whole heart but at the same time his brain still thinks about me and still cares for how i feel. ben has not stopping moving forward, he is still determined, motivated and strong as all get out. (insert ben just leaned over and said i was his angel)</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">life has thrown hardships at him and he says it is the hardest thing he has ever done in his life. coming from a man who served 13 years in the military, deployed 6 times, climbed mt rainier 3, passed many selective schools and has put up with me...and this is his hardest task at hand. his physical and mental abilities were stripped from him and he has had to work for every piece that he has back. yes, hardest thing for sure...strongest man ever! </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">this past year has been full of fun and hardships at the same time. we have had ups and downs. blessings and hardships. sorrows and joys. answers and no answers. lots has happened. </span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">one of the hardest things we have been dealing with is on the mental side is bens anger and frustration about where he is in life. if he wasn't able to remember who he was, what he has accomplished, what he is capable of and all that he could do physically it wouldn't be an issue but he does. he knows, he gets it, he remembers. so to him it makes it ever harder! he gets super frustrated at sport events, hanging out with family, any sport or experience he gets to do...because either he cannot do it or he cannot do it in the way he knows he used to. he's tired of it, he's angry about it and sometimes shows it. he just gets mad. its ok. he needs to. its the way he gets it out. please pray for this frustration. pray for his heart. pray for his healing. this is a journey he is on. we have and are learning to cope with it and how to handle it in the different situations. i am learning patience and how to let him have his space but also how to re-route things and walk him through it. bens learning to work it out, how to communicate how he's feeling and not so much act what he's feeling. its a journey that im sure we will be walking through for a long time...</span></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; min-height: 19px; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">the biggest blessing and miracle that has happened in this year is a lil baby on his way. we didn't know if this would happen but God has definitely blessed us with this miracle! ben is super excited. he has been mentioning the last few days at least every day that he cannot wait for him to get here. he has his recliner set up and said his job will be to hold him and sleep! ha, he's in for a surprise when i hand him this baby with a dirty diaper, when its screaming his head off or needs a bottle. i am sure he will be happy to do it! this baby will not take away the brain injury or what we still need to walk through but i believe this lil baby will give us both a new sense of hope, something to take our eyes off of whats been the focus for the past five years. it will be hard. there will be ups and downs. im sure there will be tears...but God will equip us and keep us strong in our weakest points! </span></div>

<div style="font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">i came across this quote awhile ago and it hits my heart in a very real way. it doesn't end. it finds new ways of coping, new ways of living. new ways of dreaming. grief can bring a lot of new but it still brings the heartache. ben and i don't feel weak or faithless when we grieve what happened, what is not going to be, or that what has happened to us just is not fair. it is still grief. there are many things along the way that we will have to grieve through, it doesn't end, we have to continually walk through it with every situation life brings. i wish we and others didn't have to grieve but its life. God doesn't want us to grieve but he created us, emotions and all. i believe its what we do with our grief. sit and around and think on it always, do nothing, get mad, bitter...so many of these (and more) that ben and i have walked through and experienced. we have to still walk through them, process as well. but we don't stay there. ok some things longer then others but we eventually work through it together and with the Lord. we grieve and we love. i love ben more then ever and him the same. slightly different kind of love being the situation were in but its an amazing love...</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">i know we haven't been the best at updating this past year (ok or two-ish) but we know that y'all still pray for us and are supporting us along the way. thank you for that. it is a blessing. we truly do appreciate it. we are anxious to share this next exciting journey with you in bringing this miracle baby into the world! around 3 weeks left and our lives again will change forever! we will definitely let you know when the big day comes! </span></div>

A few weeks ago we hit the road to Cali for a quick 3 day trip for Ben to participate in a new adventure...sit water skiing! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Being a past avid wakeboarder he was definitely excited to go and try! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first day was just trying to get used to the board and process but the next day he said he felt much more comfortable! </div>

As you are reading this we are probably somewhere on the road between Washington and California! Road trip it is to the VA in Palo Alto. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ben was transferred here about 7 months post injury and we stayed for about 7 months! It seems like forever ago but at the same time yesterday! Lots of good and miracles came out of that 7 month stay! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />We should be there for about 2 weeks for Ben to get an extensive evaluation done. He will have a complete eval done of where he is at and where we would like him to be. I have a list of things that need to be addressed and taken care of before we leave to come home.<span class="ecxApple-converted-space"> This list is not small and the items on the list are both for the physical of Bens needs and just some items that need to be discussed and taken care of. </span><br /><br />Ben will be inpatient (starting this Monday) the whole 2 weeks and me in a hotel. Right now there are no rooms available at the Fisher House so please pray one opens up so I can be closer to Ben! Also pray for Ben because as you know he hates anything to do with hospitals or clinics etc. I will be with him during the day and so it will be just at night that he is on his own (thank goodness when he is asleep not much bothers him) but he should be ok.<br /><br />Please also pray that our issues get addressed and well. It has been very frustrating to work with the VA here so that is why we are going down. Pray that the therapists and doctors have good insight into what is going on with Ben and that it gives him the opportunity to progress!<br /><br />I will not be taking my computer so I may not be able to post while we are gone. If they still have the public computer I may be able to hop on there. I will have my phone and hopefully be posting to our "Prayers for Ben" Facebook page! If you find it and "like" it you can follow us there! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank you so much for your continued prayers and support!</div>

A little over 6 years ago when Ben and I were engaged and he was overseas he made a regular call to me. When he was gone we were able to talk more then I thought we would and I loved it. This phone call was different, there was sadness in his voice. We got though a very short how are you to him saying, "today was a bad day." That is all I got on that. Because I was not married I didn't get the red line calls or emails to let me know of injuries or fatalities with the boys. He couldn't go on about what had happened via the phone or email due to safety measures. All I knew is that from his voice it was bad. Later I came to find out that he had lost one of his buddies Jason. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is a little about Jason from the Ranger's Lead the Way Fund... </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Cpl. Jason M. Kessler, 29, was an automatic rifleman assigned to 2nd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment at Fort Lewis, Wash. He was born on Oct. 21, 1977, in Long Beach, Calif.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He was killed on July 30, 2007, while engaged in combat operations in northern Iraq when the tactical vehicle he was riding in was struck by a rocket propelled grenade. This was his third deployment in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After graduating high school in Mount Vernon, Wash., Kessler attended The Masters College, Santa Clarita, Calif., and earned a bachelor of arts in biblical studies. He was continuing his education at the University of Washington, Seattle Campus with emphasis on philosophy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kessler enlisted in the Army from his hometown of Mount Vernon in January 2005 and completed One Station Unit Training at Fort Benning, Ga., as an infantryman. After graduating from the Basic Airborne Course there, he was assigned to the Ranger Indoctrination Program also at Fort Benning.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He graduated from the Ranger Indoctrination Program in June 2005 and was then assigned to 2nd Bn., 75th Ranger Regiment. He served there as an Automatic Rifleman.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kessler’s awards and decorations include Good Conduct Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, Iraq Campaign Medal, Army Service Ribbon, Parachutist Badge, Combat Infantryman Badge, and Ranger Tab.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He was posthumously awarded the Bronze Star Medal, Purple Heart, and Meritorious Service Medal.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As a Ranger, Kessler distinguished himself as a member of the Army’s premier light infantry unit, traveled to all corners of the world in support of the Global War on Terrorism and fought valiantly to “uphold the prestige, honor, and high ‘esprit de corps’” of the Ranger Regiment. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just weeks before Ben and Jason, along with a few others had just climbed and peaked Mt. Rainier together. This was Ben's 3rd time reaching the summit and Jason's first. Ben loved taking guys up and showing them an amazing time and exploring Gods mountain. That day they both raced back down the mountain for family gatherings!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I never had the honor of meeting Jason but Ben spoke very highly of him. Ben had always wanted to meet Jasons parents and pay them his respects. His memorial was while the boys were still deployed so that was a missed opportunity. After the boys came home we married and moved to GA. About 2 years ago when we moved back I wrote Jasons mom a letter about our accident and current situation as she would want to know. She wrote back saying she knew exactly who Ben was because she had a photo of the boys on Mt. Rainier! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yesterday was my cousins wedding which happened to be close to where Jason's parents live. We decided to take off Friday so that we could spend some time with them. We decided that Red Robin would be a great place and Ben couldn't agree more! I mean who can say no to their steak fries...and refills! We had an amazing time with them and it was an honor to finally meet the parents of an amazing soldier! We were able to swap stories and hear from them and Ben. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
today marks four years since that evening i woke up in a hospital bed, six hours after we were in a massive car accident. those days are still so blurry to me and none of it has really come back. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
four years! wowzers! some days it feels like moments and others it feels like it has been a lot longer then it has. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
in four years a lot has happened. some good, some bad, some ugly, some painful, some joyous, some amazing...there has been a lot that has gone on but we are blessed to still be alive. God has blessed us with amazing blessings that we don't deserve but He doesn't care if we feel worthy, He just does it because He loves it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
where we are now in the past year...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- we are alive!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- we are in a home of our own and it is a dream!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- ben has been off his meds for over a year and a half and his seizure meds he's been off for a year in a few days!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- ben officially was retired from the army after 13+ years of service (pics on his retirement to come as we got some more recently) and is now a veteran...although he'd rather still be active! :) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- although ben is not fully walking on his own he has made great strides to get closer!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- ben has had a successful jaw expansion surgery and now has braces to help keep correcting his teeth...and one more jaw surgery to come. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- we were able to attend three adaptive sports camps and ben loved them!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- we celebrated our 5th year wedding anniversary...not everyone can say that, brain injury included!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- we took ben up to mount rainier, even if it wasn't to the top!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- ben has lost weight and gained a lot of muscle.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- bathroom stuff is better</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- ben is more sneaky with his transferring from wheelchair to couch...and does this when im not looking, which in turn almost gives me a heart attack...he did this twice last week and all i could do was praise him for putting on his breaks and not falling!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- we traveled to texas for ben to be apart of his buddies wedding!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- ben was blessed with a recumbent bike and he would make me run with him and i would try to keep up!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- hes watched me go to many crossfit workouts only saying that if he could do what i was doing he would smoke me...and he would, times 100!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- we got a super cute new pup that ben loves!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- ben started a new therapy program and loves it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- i have become a bad blogger...but i hope to change! will try...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- we still love each other</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- ben has been for the last year slowly but surely improved on things. both mentally and physically</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- since being on the water in our new house ben has been able to be on his boat a lot more this year and inner tubing up a storm...way better then last year!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
as i look back i see God is good! i know He is but when one writes it down and takes the time to remember i am always humbled by what He has done! we still have a long journey before us and many battles to fight but we forge forward and fight on...all the while trusting in our Jesus to get us where we need to go. yes, it is hard. every day is hard. every day is tiring. every day i try and find a lil joy in the hardship. i would never choose to go through this and nor would i wish it on anyone. God knows what He is doing. we may not but He does. His mercies are new every morning and so is His grace! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
as ben says, "we will beat this brain injury!"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and speaking of brains...i figured out what was wrong with mine...</div>

We met Ryan and his family back at Shepherd Center in Atlanta, a few months after our accident. Ben's room was a few doors down from Ryan's. We were not able to get to know Ryan and his family that much because we would soon be leaving. All I knew is that Ryan was injured with a severe TBI and it was bad. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Along the way I came to know Ryan's story a little but more. A small snippet from the Washington Post...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"As the argument became more heated and the two groups passed each other, Ryan turned back and approached the other group to say something, only to step back after someone shoved him. Someone punched McLhinney, knocking him unconscious. Someone hit Ryan's other friend. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After Ryan backed away, Jonathon May, a WVU student, sneaked up and punched him in the face. Ryan never struck anyone. After Ryan fell, Austin Vantrease, 19, kicked him in the head with a motion that a witness compared to "punting" a football, the detective said. May was later convicted of misdemeanor battery and sentenced to a year in prison; Vantrease was charged with malicious assault, a felony. Everyone ran, according to court testimony. Ryan lay on the ground, bleeding from his left ear and suffering seizures. When Ryan's parents reached the hospital a few hours later, the doctor told them their son's jaw was broken and his skull was fractured in two places. He was bleeding from his brain. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Divineys faced a choice: Doctors could leave their son as he was, and he would most likely die, or they could remove part of his skull, which would let his brain swell. Either way, Ryan might not live more than a day or two. Ken and Sue told the doctor to remove the skull plate and summoned a priest to administer last rites."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So for the past few years Ryan's parents have been super diligent in caring for him. They amaze me with their commitment to their son and how they fight for him every single day! His recovery has been quite different then Ben's and that breaks my heart. I hate that we are in the same situation with knowing them in the TBI world but glad that we can help each other out!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is where I would ask you to help. One of Ryan's brutal attackers is up for parole soon and has not even served close to what he should and doesn't have a remorseful bone in his body! According to his family the attacker Vantrease was in the wrong place at the wrong time...yet he chose his wrongful actions! I will not go into detail on how Ryan's family has had to fight this and put up with people who beat their son and won't do anything about it! We need your help in signing a petition to stop this parole! </div>
