Happy Birthday to my beautiful girl!

Today is my youngest child's second birthday. She is the youngest of five. We have three daughters and two sons.

Elizabeth Anne was born in New York. She is full of spunk. She is sassy, confident and she knows what she wants and doesn't let anything stand in her way. I pray that she always stays that strong, confident girl.

I, also, pray that she keeps the Lord close to her as she grows, that she will desire the Word of God and she will hunger after the things of God. I know if she will put the Lord first in her life she can achieve all that she wants in life.

Elizabeth-your daddy and I are so proud and honored that God blessed us with being your parents. We won't always make the right decisions and we may blow it, but know that we love you with all our hearts and everything we do is for you and your best interests. You are our precious angel and we love you!

Mommy and Daddy

Happy Birthday My love!!

Today, is the day that my wonderful husband was born. Forty-four years ago, a little baby boy was born. He had a bright future ahead of him. He had loving parents (thank you for the gift!) two great brothers. He knew when he was a little boy what he wanted to do, and he reached up and went after those goals.

He became a journalist while serving as a citizen Soldier in the Army Reserve. He served his community-by giving of himself. He served his country-by giving of himself. Then he met me and we fell in love and got married, he is a wonderful husband-because he gives of himself. He is the best father to our children-because he gives of himself.

After a deployment he decided 11 years ago to go full-time with the Army Reserve, one because he loves the Army Reserve and he desires to serve-giving up his life if necessary.

I admire and respect my husband so much, he lives his life by example, I see Jesus in him everyday. He isn't perfect, but I don't want that. I want a man who strives everyday to do it better, who reaches for the stars and if he doesn't get them, he gets up and tries again the next day.

Honey-thank you for being a true living example of what God created us to be. You are my hero, my best friend. Keep reaching for the stars and I'll keep following you to those stars!!

I love you!
