Fighting for Us

Well, yesterday was a day I've been dreading since last October when Justin got home from his first tour in Iraq. I was able to talk to him on Tuesday and say goodbye, and that made me an emotional wreck for the rest of the day, but that's how it goes. My parents drove down to his base in North Carolina to see his platoon off yesterday morning at 0720. I'll miss him like crazy for the next 6-7 months, but no matter what happens I know it's what the Lord has planned. I just thought I'd pass along his address as well, for anyone who feels so inclined to write him. He loves mail!

How Could I Resist You!

I haven't laughed as much during a movie in a long time as I did during Mamma Mia yesterday. You'll leave the theater laughing and singing the songs over and over. Meryl Streep and her two friends are hilarious and make the movie great. I highly recommend it to all!!

Dallin is 11!

Another birthday to celebrate! Today is actually the special day for this funny kid. This picture was taken a few years ago, but it totally embodies Dallin's personality. He is someone that makes me laugh my head off everytime I'm at home. It's crazy how funny he is. In elementary school he would even make up new names for himself on his papers everyday. Took his teacher a couple days to figure out what was going on :) I wish I could be there to celebrate, but I did get to talk to him and he's had a great day so far! Happy birthday Dallin!!

Happy 23rd Birthday Trisha!

This is a couple days late in coming, but I wanted to acknowledge my sister's birthday on the 28th! She is more than I could ask for in a sister and a friend. We had our differences growing up, as most siblings do, but I'm so grateful that she is my sister. I look forward to the years to come when we can only grow closer. Happy Birthday Trish!
