Tim McGraw

My dearest most amazing boyfriend Jim is stationed at Camp Pendleton at the Wounded Warrior battalion due to a motorcycle accident. {Here's a link to the Wounded Warrior Project...some of the stuff they're

doing for these guys is amazing...http://www.woundedwarriorproject.org/}

While this is a really really terrible thing...just like anything else bad, there is a silver lining.

:)

The battalion gets really cool opportunities for the Marines and their families, like tickets to sports games, celebrities coming to visit and show support, free dinner every few weeks...and today; a special meet and greet with none other than Tim McGraw.

I was, as you can probably imagine, so excited. Tim McGraw is AWESOME! He's an amazing singer, treats his wife SO well, is such a great person...I couldn't wait to shake his hand and take a picture with him.

Tim McGraw!!

Unfortunately, it was less of a meet and more of a greet. But still, I got to see Tim McGraw a little bit closer than a lot of people.

It was interesting to learn about Tim McGraw's foundation, named after his father, the Tug McGraw Foundation {link here: http://www.tugmcgraw.org/home.asp} dedicated to Tim's father. Here's their mission:

"The Tug McGraw Foundation was established prior to his death in 2004 to enhance the quality of life of children and adults with brain tumors. In 2009, TMF expanded its programs to include Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). The Tug McGraw Foundation collaborates and partners with other organizations so that they can accelerate new treatments and cures to improve quality of life in areas of physical, social, emotional, cognitive, and spiritual impact of those debilitating conditions." As a survivor of a brain injury I think this is AWESOME. It's really great to see stuff happening with brain issues, a lot of it was still a mystery, even 3 years ago.

In 5 minutes it will be tomorrow, and we will have a countdown of 4 days {THURSDAYYY!} until Jim's MC Ball!! I am so excited!
