I look at my sweet girl, and I can't help but see the sweet little face from this picture in my mind. She will always be my baby, but today she embarks on a whole new chapter and as ready as she is, I am not sure I am quite as prepared.

A New Chapter…Bootcamp Here He Comes
Yesterday was one that was full of every emotion one could possibly experience. Our oldest son left for the USMC bootcamp. It will be roughly 13 weeks until we see him (89 days to be exact from the original date this post was written).

The First Holiday Season Without You
Dear Mom, Thanksgiving is here...with Christmas following shortly behind. This was always a time of excitement as we got ready for the holidays and hosting friends and family at your house.
