J.O.S.H.

So I promised I would catch up on some things that happened this past month, and I will...but I actually didn't get our computer back until a couple days ago.  It took FOREVER to get it fixed.  Well, not actually forever, but when your hubby is deployed, and it is one of your primary means of communicating with him, it feels like FOREVER!  Anyhow, I do have it back now, and I just have to make the time to sit down and download some pictures back onto it, and then I will catch up on posting.  But for now, I just wanted to tell you all about J.O.S.H., a non-profit organization started by Josh's Aunt Kathy.  Kathy is on a mission to mail care packages to our troops serving in Afghanistan and Iraq.  She started focusing mostly on Josh's Troop, but now ships to as many of our Armed Forces as she can.  She has shipped over 300 packages so far, since Josh deployed in December.  Please take a moment to visit her blog, as she just wants to spread the word about J.O.S.H., and find as many supporters as she can so she can continue her mission of serving the men and women who are sacrificing so much for our great country.  Thank you, Kathy, for all you are doing in support of our brave military men and women!

The Inevitable...

I hate complaining because in all honesty, we have been and continue to be so incredibly blessed, and while this deployment has been tremendously difficult on Josh, myself, and the boys, the Lord has continued to show His faithfulness, and provide for us all.  For that I am forever grateful.  So, all I will say is that we have been having some computer (and car) problems.  Just the inevitable things that I am no good at fixing, that are very costly, and that ALWAYS seem to happen when your husband is gone for a long period of time (you fellow Military wives know EXACTLY what I'm talking about).  We now have our fixed (and hopefully no more problems with them until Josh gets home...knock on wood) computers (and car) back, and I am gonna try to catch up on some exciting things that happened this month!  I will try to catch up on my infrequent blogging soon! :-)

Thank You!

Happy Independence Day!  Just wanted to take this opportunity to thank all the brave men and women who serve in the Armed Forces to protect our wonderful country, and our freedom!  We are so appreciative of your great sacrifice!  Josh, we are so proud of you, and miss you so much!  We love you!  Thinking about you and praying for you constantly!

Also, Happy Birthday to my new sister, Kelly (wedding date 7-2-11)!!!  Hope you have a fabulous day!
