It Was Me, Wasn’t It?

July 13, 2009

Just in case you were wondering….. It wasn’t me who stood in my kitchen in April of 2008 sobbing as McDaddy assured me that we would make it through this six-month deployment.

Just Face It!

July 8, 2009

While visiting my sister-in-law and her family in New Hampshire, we had a great time eating, visiting, chomping crushed ice, painting, timing contractions and talking beauty products.
