When TJ and I began our lives together we were very young.  Most of you know the story of how we met in high school {and many of you were there for it}.  After so many jobs and so many roads traveled, we made the decision together that TJ would join the US Navy.  He was gone for five months that winter, and it was one of the hardest times of my life.  I had no idea that specific trial in my life would help me today in the midst of deployment.  

If you were to ask me today how I'm doing, I'd say fine; I'm doing fine.  For the most part I'm doing well.  There are very hard days of course, and it's no secret to most of you that I'm not huge on asking for help.  I get into my own kind of survival mode where I do what I can to get the job done.  I guess I've developed a bit of stubbornness...?    

If I show any bit of happiness, any bit of joy, it is all due in large part to...

Number One: My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who envelops me with Grace every day.

Number Two: My husband and children who He has abundantly blessed me with.

...and Number Three:  These people...

I cannot say enough of how much they all mean to me.

And at the risk of making my mother-in-law cry yet again {...hi Mary}, here are some photos I've snapped of our real-life weekend adventures.  I couldn't do any of this without all of you.  

I love you so much.

Many many many people aren't pictured, but save my butt every day.

You know who you are...xoxo.

*love you TJ
