A bittersweet 4th of July!

As many American's celebrate our nations independence, many of us celebrate with out families, friends, co-workers, etc.

Today my husband, son, and I were fortunate enough to be together. He's been working long hours lately at his new location for work. I'm grateful for everything he does for our family, but I've been selfish lately and wanted him HOME!

I rarely ask for anything from anyone, but I have a small simple request from my beloved friends that take the time out of they're day to read my posts. My cousin, Joe deployed early this morning for another tour overseas with the Air Force. I ask that you pray for the great man upstairs to watch over him, protect him, and please pray for his beautiful wife Nicole and their two young daughters, Elle, and Keira. He should be home in early January 2011. Its a short tour but none the less he's gone away from his family and we all miss him already. Joe, be safe and hurry home!! We love you!!!

Since the sun has set, I'm going to grab a seat on the back porch and see if I can capture some fireworks. Be safe everyone!! XOXO
