I miss Katie already!

Katie and Tyler left for Brussels this morning. Actually their plane hasn't even taken off from Sky Harbor yet. It leaves in about a half hour. They will travel around for a week before Katie arrives in Lyon, France for her study abroad (5 weeks). I am so happy for her. She has always dreamed of doing a study abroad and now... here she is! Jeff's running joke is that he has been studying a broad (me) for over 32 years and he hasn't "figured her out yet"! Ha Ha. My husband is soooo funny! Anyway, Katie will be gone until August 11th. Please keep her in your prayers to have a wonderful AND safe trip! Thanks! I did pretty good this morning saying good-bye. No big tears, just misty eyes! :)

P.S.- At the top of my blog, there is a link to Katie's blog where she will try to post updates and hopefully some pictures. :)

Happy 51st Anniversary!

Today is a most important date for my family. 51 years ago today, my parents married! (Luckily for all of us!) They have been such a source of encouragement as our whole family can witness true love in its greatest form. I feel blessed beyond words to have been fortunate to be born their child.

Thank you Mom and Dad for always being there for us and for being a great example of unselfish love. We all love you very much. May God continue to bless you with many years to come and many fun family times. Have a great anniversary! XOXO

Happy Father's Day!

I want to wish a Happy Father's Day to all the Special Dads out there! I feel very fortunate to have the dad I have and I couldn't ask for a better dad in all the world than my hubby! He also had a great mentor, his Dad! I love you Jeff, my Daddy Pat and Dad Bob. I hope you all have a wonderful day and know that you are loved and appreciated. May God Bless You!

Summer Fun So Far!
