day #1: onto the next chapter...

a friend of mine encouraged me to take part in a 365 day challenge. blog about my life everyday for a year. i thought this was a great idea, being we are a military family and this would be a fun way for my family and friends who are so far away, to feel like they are right here with me and my family, experiencing each and everyday with us. so here we go...

the picture included here is of my family. my wonderful husband tom, and my two amazing boys, zachary and connor. zach is 4 and connor just turned 1. this day was one of the happiest days of all our lives. tom just returned home from 9 month deployment in iraq. this was his 3rd tour, so we've been thru a couple deployments and seperations already, none of which get easier. we have been so blessed that tom was safe and the boys handled this deployment as well as possible.

when i look at this picture, i see a happy family who loves each other very much and i see such a bright future in store for all of us. as i continue on this 365 day challenge, i look forward to the many exciting and memorable things that we will take part in together as a whole. i love these boys very much and though i may be out numbered, being the pink in this house of blue brings me so much joy.
