Over 20 - WOW!



We had an awful lot to celebrate this last weekend. The Cub Scout Blue and Gold Banquet where Scouting celebrated its 100 year birthday. This shot was taken at Camp Snyder last Saturday night. Our kids won a tent and a lantern during the raffle. It's currently set up in the basement where they've been playing in it all week.

Then Sunday was Emily's 11th birthday. We celebrated on Saturday with a big shopping trip and then out to Olive Garden Sunday after church.

Then Monday came and its time to celebrate 20 years of military living. I am so proud of my amazing man. It seems like yesterday he was earning his Light Fighter WOLF HOUNDS! training certificate and I was surviving my very first field problem of 19 days. 20 years from Private to LTC....what an amazing ride. I have to admit to feeling much differently than I expected to upon reaching this milestone. I'm actually so excited deep down about the things to come. Thanks honey, for all of the overwhelming hard work through the years. I'm so proud of you and grateful to God for His provision for us through the military!

I'll have a February picture round up later over the upcoming weekend.

  3. Congrats on 20 years!!! I can't believe that we are at 14 years. I remember moving to North Carolina and then a week later he went to PLDC for a month....it was the end of the world!!! ;-) ;-) My how things have changed! :) Our playdate today was with an active duty Army wife who came home to Bourbonnais while her husband is in Iraq. They have a little girl the same age as Sophia and they are expecting again in May. Her story is so similar to mine. The girls had a blast playing and the moms had a blast speaking Army!! Miss you guys lots. Hope your week is going well!
