It's much needed and I'm not sure when I will be back, but I am sure I will be at some point. It's been one crazy year for me, and I feel like this is a much needed break...
Michael will be on special assignment with the Army for about 6 months here in the states, so hopefully my sleepless nights are over with for a long time.
I'll still be on Facebook for all that are on there. Don't think I could give that up.

A day that I will cherish and never forget. Spend several hours at the local VA Nursing Home with some of our Veterans.

Thanks to all our Vets, past and present for all your sacrifices that you have made for our Country.
Our veteran is serving his second tour in Iraq on this Veterans Day. Thank you son for making me one proud Mom. I love and miss you very much. Counting the days down until you are home for R&R.

Alexis's first diamond necklace and earings. Yes she is already spoiled rotten.
Kristy and one proud Paw Paw.
It was a great baby shower. The baby is set to go, except for diapers. I think she only got one package of diapers.
