and THANK YOU to those who have fought for our country and those who stand ready to do so at a moments notice! Your dedication and sacrifice are immeasureable. America is blessed to have such strong men and women!!
I am especially thankful for those so near to me who fall into one of those two categories!! I LOVE YOU ALL SO VERY, VERY MUCH!!!

My late Grandad who served in WWII...I'd say he had pretty good taste in colleges

My Nana who served in WWII (I wish I had a military photo!) He's so handsome!!

My "Brother", Brandon, who served in Desert Storm...this picture makes me slightly weepy!!

My Cousin, Lance, who is currently serving and just returned home less than a year ago!

My husband, Justin, who is newly commissioned and still in training. He'll probably want to shoot me for even including him in this.
Thoughts and prayers for all of those who have served and are currently serving. There are no words to adequately thank you for your decision to support and defend our country! You are all a blessing and I am thankful for each and every one of you!
