We'll see ya soon, Matt

You'll be missed while you are away protecting our freedom! We pray that God will watch over and protect you and bring you back to us safely.
This is Matt and his precious family (I took the pic today). Aren't they just adorable :) We love them to pieces :)

Today was so bittersweet. It's the first "real" get together we have had since my FIL's passing. He was most definitely missed today and will surely be missed for the upcoming holidays. I plan to do all I can to bring joy and good memories to our wonderful family as we draw closer to the holidays. We are so fortunate that we are such a loving family. I hear horror stories all the time about how families don't get along and that has just never been the case with this family. From the day I married into this family I have been loved and made to feel just like a sister and a daughter. And for this reason I have 3 wonderful families my husband and children, my mom and dad and my in-laws! I am truly blessed.

Wishes for a happy and healthy week to all my readers.
Thank you for visiting :)
hugs and love from SC

Please extend my thanks to Matt for his service to our country. I'll be praying for him overseas and for his wife/kids here at home.

Being away from home has made me realise just how important family is. I'm so glad to hear you feel so lucky too. Best wishes to you.

What a precious little family! It would be a privilege to pray for Matt while he's away. Be sure to thank his dear wife for her sacrifice for all of us as well.
