Default Why I have been missing....

I just wanted to share with everyone why I have been absent the past week. We have been in North Carolina welcoming my son and his unit home from Iraq. Here is the first of probably several hundred taken last week. I will share some more as soon as I can think straight. After driving 12 hours today, I better not start trying to work on any of them.
We had an incredible time and my heart is full. Thanks for looking.

My hubby took this shot, and even tho there are many things wrong with it, there are many more things right with it as you can see on my face.

Glad to see him back where he belongs! Give him a huge welcome from Tennessee, and a well deserved thanks for everything he's done for all of us!
