Tonight was my Nana's wake and the funeral is tomorrow.

Considering this week, I am doing well. The Lord is good.
Bet your wondering why by title seems so happy???
Tomorrow I will be with my best friend in the world!
Can you tell that I am happy? Jesus knows she makes my heart smile.
That's why he planned our trip this week.
Thank you Lord that your timing is better than mine!

Home Sweet Home...

Its finally over, deployment is finished. completed. accomplished. (applause anyone?) My soldier has been home for almost 6 weeks now, but I simply couldn't bring myself to post anything until ALL the deployments were over. It didn't seem joyous to write about my soldier's homecoming until my best friend had her own day and held her soldier in her arms too... so my lovely Kate, tonight your soldier is home in your arms, and all is well. No more sleepless nights, no more terrorizing dreams, or lonely days and heavy hearts. Our soldiers are home, safe and sound. We are finished! You are such a treasure to me, I am so blessed to have had your strength this year and to have grown in the Lord together. Praise Jesus our soldiers are home sweet home. HOOAH!






... so, now I will soon post MY Welcome Home Heroes Ceremony!...
