What a Day to go back to Iraq on huh? To think all of it started on this terrible day in 2001. I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing this day in 2001 and remembering crying so much and could not believe it was all happening . It was sooo unreal . 
Nothing to share stampin wise just yet ( Been kinda busy Hee! Hee! ) So I thought I would share a couple more photos of us Hubby flight is later this evening and guess what We woke up to this morning ? A link under my stairs in the basement .. apparently the leak has been there for over a year now and Thank God there was a bucket that caught all the water ..
It was a very slow leak Whew !! Cause if the bucket overflowed we would have been in a yucky mess .. Praise God we seen/ heard it before hubby leaves tonight. Good news .. He had it fixed before I got back from taking Jessie to school this morning .. YAHOO! Just some last packing to do so most of the day will be hanging out together and going over to see Tyler( See yesterday’s post ) and get some photos of him and Rich together.. ( We don’t want him to forget Rich Hee! Hee! ) Rich bought me a new camera yesterday( The link shows a blue one BUT mine is PINK its sooo tiny and cute .) .. I tell ya He has really spoiling me while he has been home thats for sure . He also picked up a MP3 player for me to use at the gym Its sooo little its the new Go Gear MP3 player with a FM radio also …
This photo is sooo funny to us .. Rich kisses John on his forehead all the time .. This is one thing he does ONLY to John and they both laugh well this was their Good bye photo from Sunday night after church .. and what makes this even funnier is Look at my bestest gal Linda .. what a silly gal .. and of course she did this as soon as I clicked it .. what a goof ball .. ( Thats why I love her ..)
Until later ..Happy Stampin!!
I’m curious to know what Rich thought of the “new and improved” you? WOW girl, you look soooooo fabulous. >
LOVE these pics, sweetie !! You know I’m praying for you, Rich and Jessie !!! I’m always here for you.
love you…
SWEET pics GF!! You deserve the spoiling. *wink, wink* Enjoy the rest of your day together!
Give Richard a hug/kiss from me before he leaves, like you haven’t already been doin’ that all day I bet.
On another note, I thought I’d share this with you in blogger land:
The ‘L I T T L E’ Things .
As you might know, the head of a company survived
9/11 because his son started kindergarten.
Another fellow was alive because it was His turn to bring donuts.
One woman was late because her Alarm clock didn’t go off in time.
One was late because of being stuck on the NJ Turnpike Because of an auto accident.
One of them Missed his bus.
One spilled food on her clothes and had to take
Time to change.
One’s Car wouldn’t start.
One went back to Answer the telephone.
One had a child that dawdled And didn’t get ready as soon as he should have.
One couldn’t Get a taxi.
The one that struck me was the man Who put on a new pair of shoes that morning,
Took the various means to get to work But before he got there, he developed
a blister on his foot.
He stopped at a drugstore to buy a Band-Aid.
That is why he is alive today.
Now when I am
Stuck in traffic,
Miss an elevator,
Turn back to answer a ringing telephone…
All the little things that annoy me..
I think to myself,
This is exactly where
God wants me to be at this very moment…
Next time your morning seems to be Going wrong,
The children are slow getting dressed,
You can’t seem to find the car keys,
You hit every traffic light,
Don’t get mad or frustrated;
God is at work watching over you.
May God continue to bless you With all those annoying little things
And may you remember their possible purpose.
AMEN
Boy Rich sure spoiled you when he was home. I am sure you loved every minute of it. Have a great day together.
My heart breaks for you, Thank Him from me for fighting for us…
Hugs,
Lisa B <><

Hey girl. Love the picture. I just gotta take a minute to thank you and your family for all the sacrifices you’re making for us. I know we can’t even begin to comprehend them all. Linda
Oh Dawn the pictures of you and Rich and the one with Jessie are priceless. You all look so wonderful. I’m sorry that he has left so soon. But the time is passing by us so quickly and before you know it he will be home again very soon. He certainly did spoil you buying you a new camera and an MP player.What a sweetie he is.
Hugs,
Mary
