Serving our Country

As many of us prepare to spend time with our families and close friends, there are so many families that will be separated due to their active duty in the military. 

One of my younger first cousins, who is also my Soror left today for a tour that she must serve far away in the middle east.

She is an officer in the United States Air Force and we are very proud of her. I salute her today as well as the countless other individuals who serve our country and sacrifice time away at special holidays to serve and protect. While it is difficult with families to deal with during this holiday season, we know that they are working for our country. 

We will be here waiting for you in 2009 when you return and hopefully this gift and or gifts coming will be waiting for you to come spoil him/her as well! 

Love ya girl! 

Happy Birthday to a Special friend

Happy Birthday Kendral!

To a very special friend who is celebrating a birthday today. 

Thank you for your friendship and all that I (hubby and I) have learned from you and your husband. Although, we have only known each other for 5 years, it seems like a life time. 

For those who do not know it, we met 5 years ago when I first relocated here. We met at work, and little did we know that our lives would take similar paths and there was a reason for our meeting. In addition, my husband and I are blessed to be asked to be the god parents to her 2 beautiful children. 

Enjoy your day, and we love you for all that you are and all that you do. Thank you for listening to me when I am not quite sure of where I am being led, but you allow me to answer my own questions. 

Thank you for being supportive of our endeavors and always being there. Most of all, thank you for being  you!
