Thank-you to those who Rest In Peace for our freedom.

Fire up the BBQ, & Take a moment to remember...

NEVER FORGOTTEN!

Pray & Post

My sister-in-law Kandy and I are committed to praying for Russ as he goes through his deployment. Kandy made this cute little pic to post on sites/blogs....feel free to snag this, pray, post all or some of these options!!

Praying you through

My cousin Russell is now officially deployed to Afghanistan. I'm so very proud of him and love him dearly. May God be with our boys and girls home and around the world as they serve our country. I'm so thankful for each and every one of them and as we approach Memorial Day weekend, make sure you take some time out of the BBQ's and fun to pay tribute to those that have paid the price for our freedom and those continuing to pay the sacrafice being away from home so that we can enjoy our BBQs, Sun, and long weekend.

God Bless Our Servicemen & Women
REMEMBER THEM, THANK THEM, MAKE TIME FOR THEM!

Its hard to believe a full year has gone by...

It was a year ago that I walked into the office I worked in at DDEAMC and found out that my MEDBOARD officer had FINALLY called. I was going home. It's hard to believe that I've been back home for an entire year. And even harder to believe that my Army career ended just 1 year ago. It doesn't seem that long ago. It seems like just yesterday! I miss my DDEAMC Chaplain team, I miss my brothers and sisters in the Army, I miss the Army lifestyle.



But life is great...today its also hard to believe that my nephew is turning 2! Thats right its official...Jackson has officially entered his Wonderful 2's!!!! I love you lil man!!

Last night I got the honor of going and seeing my cousin Diana play soccer! What a blast!! My uncle Chuck even made a few big signs that said "D Rocks" and "Go #3" Unfortunately her team lost by 2 but it was a great game and her team really worked hard considering they only had 1 substitute and the other team had a bench full!
Great Job Hawks!! Here's some shots of Diana playing!





Thursday night game night this past week was also Addison's Welcoming Party!! She made her debut at our weekly game night and was all snuggled in with cousin Kati for a good chunk of the card playing time and snuggled up with me during dinner! Then she got hungry and went up for feeding with mommy who was resting! After that she was wide awake and ready to socialize...lol as we were all getting ready to leave! hehe Here's a few shots of Addison snuggled up with Kati and then checking out daddy when she was wide awake!

I'm a NEW Auntie!!!!
