GOD BLESS OUR COUNTRY!

Today is veteran's day and a very hard day for Greg. He has been in a war zone 4 times in his military career and will probably go back in 2009. He serves his country proudly, following in the footsteps of his dad and many others before him. He reflects every veteran's day at all those lost during the wars our country has fought. He told me just today about a friend he had made when he was there back in 2003 and how hard the day that friend died was even though they had only known each other 4 months. He still remembers the ceremony they had over there for his friend as if it was just yesterday. The military is such a brotherhood and an immediate bond is formed with those who are putting their lives on the line for our freedom. No matter your stand on this war, we need to always support our troops while they are out doing as their country commands them to do. They need our prayers on a daily basis! Please take a moment today to pray and thank God for our soldiers both present and past, their families, and the future of our country. I am so proud to be an army wife and to have a husband that stands for this great country God has blessed us to live in! Always appreciate what freedoms we have! Please don't ever lose sight of where your freedom came from and all those that fought for us to have it!
GOD BLESS AMERICA, MY HOME SWEET HOME!!!!!

The Sun City

We have been out here in El Paso for over 8 months now and are beginning to get settled in. We are a little cramped in a much smaller house, but we are together and that is all that matters. It is pretty out here, but definitely different from South Carolina. We have been to the yearly air show on Ft. Bliss already and the girls, as well as Greg, enjoyed getting to see all the military planes, tanks, and missile launchers. We have been doing lots of hiking and rock climbing. We have explored Hueco Tanks State Park twice now and bought a park pass so we can go back many more times this year. We can't wait to see all the plants and cactuses bloom next spring. They say the bottom side of the mountains we are near, the Franklin Mountains, are covered with Mexican Poppies in the spring.

We have had some new additions to our family since we moved. I know what you are thinking and no we really didn't need more mouths to feed. We bought a full blooded German Shepherd female puppy named Sascha. She is 4 months old now and weighs about 40 pounds already. Hannah went to the bank with me one day and found a stray cat that came home with us. I am a softy and couldn't give it away after seeing Hannah get so attached. Her name is Libby and she is still trying to figure out Goober. Lauren and Shelby also have a male beta, named Larry, in their room now. We told them we are maxed out on pets and will never be able to go on vacation again.

Our Story

Greg and I were married on April 17th, 2007. We had a whirl wind romance and knew without a doubt that God had blessed us with one another the day we met. We feel blessed to have been given a second chance at love and will always honor God for that by keeping him first in this marriage. We are very proud to have 7 children combined and have even considered adopting one of our own some day, if it is in God's plans. Our love for one another, the bond we share daily, and the overall way we feel towards each other continues to amaze us each day!

Sledding 101!!! HA!HA!
