As today is Veterans Day, I'd like to take some time to say, "Thank you" to the men and women who have dedicated their lives to protecting our country and our freedoms. I think I speak for all of us when I say that now, more than ever, we are so grateful for your service. Thank you, and God be with you.
This is an issue close to my heart, as I am a military wife. So more specifically, I would like to take a personal moment and thank a few people close to me to whom I am extremely grateful.
My sister, Alex is such a creative, strong, beautiful young woman- although you probably wouldn't be able to guess it in this picture. It's my favorite because she's wearing the BCGs (what we call "Birth Control Glasses"). Sucker.

Okay, sorry, Alex. Here's one of my favorites. Much better
I'm also very grateful to my Daddy. He's a crazy, crazy man... and I love him for it. Thanks, Pop. This is a photo of the two of us from my brother, Erron's wedding.
More than anyone in the world, I am grateful to my husband, Ryan. He's such a wonderful, strong, brave man and the best husband I could have ever asked for. 
He returned from his second tour in Iraq on October 31st, 2008. This is our first moment together after his 15 months of being gone. I can't even describe the feeling to you....
And this video is from his return of his first tour in Iraq. He got to come home a little early, so he decided to surprise his family. It makes me cry every time- especially the moment between him and his dad. So special:
And most of all, I am grateful to God for keeping all of these people safe. Please continue to bless our troops, their families, and our leadership within the country as we face this time of change...
