Speaker 1 (00:00):
Okay, here we go. You guys, I am, you know,
gearing up for this. Every morning this week we have
been giving away our Military Christmas Bonus and boy, these
stories emotional. It's tough, you know. You know, you hear
these stories of these unbelievable warriors and what they're going
through and it just breaks your heart, you know. And
(00:21):
they're so appreciative of this Military Christmas Bonus because really
they're not even thinking of themselves. That's what always gets
me is they don't care about what they're going through themselves.
But it's their family that they care about. They want
to make sure that their kids don't go without, their
wife doesn't go without, or whatever it is going on
with them. They just want to make sure that their
family has a wonderful holiday. And so that's why we
(00:44):
love these men and women who serve their incredible people,
and so that's why we do our Military Christmas Bonus
every single year. So it is time for our latest
Military Christmas Bonus. Let's talk to Alexis, who is joining
this this morning. How's it going and good morning Alexis.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Good morning Eddie, how are you?
Speaker 1 (01:03):
How good? So talk to me about Seth your husband.
Why did you feel that Seth should be nominated for
the military Christmas Bonus?
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Well, I personally think he's the hardest working person I know.
He's been in the military maybe for eight years and
actually just re enlisted for five.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
And what branches he in.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
He's in the Navy, Okay, yes, yeah, and so he
I mean, they sacrifice a lot. He sacrifices so much
for our family from obviously the daily stress of just
working in the Navy, in the military, and that added
Jesse puts on himself to be the best he can
be to advance in his career, and it's hard when
(01:46):
their way, and so it's kind of numbing the part
of when he's in the military and the times that
he is kept away from being and doing what he
loves the most of being the dad, right, So he
loves the family and he has a huge heart. So
it's it's great to be able to phenomenal. Oh, I'm so sorry,
(02:07):
my o arm went off.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Oh it's okay, in it ready for school? Yeah, trust me,
I get it. How many kids do you guys have?
Speaker 2 (02:16):
We have two. Our older one is Wyatt he just
turned four, and our little eighteen months old. He'll be
turning eight months eighteen months old and actually Christmas.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
His name is Walker, Oh love, Walker is a very
popular name.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Is there you go?
Speaker 2 (02:32):
So it is?
Speaker 1 (02:33):
I love it and Alexis I know that this was
a tough year. You guys went through a lot of
loss this year, right.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Yes, we had multiple loved ones pass away, and the
closest one to me my grandma. She's been a huge
part of my life and she passed away in October
while Stuck actually was away on our work trip. So
I mean him and I we can jump right into
a survival mode that this was the first time he
was away. Well, I had to take care of both
(03:03):
of the boys and grieve. Obviously, you don't plan for
that and don't really know how to handle that type
of situation until it comes. And so unfortunately, after a
couple of days that my grandma passed, we got word
from Best's family up in Oregon that his father passed away.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Sorry, a little most I understand.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
And so it's been a testing time. So you know,
this nomination is just one way of saying thank you
to my husband and thank you for him giving me
strength for all the things he does for us and
loves how so much for our family.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Yeah, and it sounds like you guys need a little
holiday spirit and holiday lift up after you know, all
that stuff.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Yes, it's been quite the sadness around the family and
obviously with the two little boys, we just want to
keep the smiles going. And it's hard sometimes when you have,
you know, adult stuff to attend to.
