Mark Leaves :(

Mark has left for Afghanistan. We miss him so much, and can't wait for his return in February!

This was in an airport in Bangor, Maine on his way overseas. A group of Vets meet them and take photos to send home to families. We really appreciated this one of Mark and a little Shelby look-a-like!

Thanksgiving 2010

This year Mark and I hosted Thanksgiving at our home. We really missed Mark's parents and Betsy, who couldn't make it because she deployed the day after Thanksgiving. We are praying that you make it home safely! And we also missed The Little's! My parent's and Uncle Bud and Aunt Susan did make it, and it turned out to be a very delicious holiday!

Our festive table decorations.

More Thanksgiving decorations made possible by my mother, thanks!

Aunt Susan, me and Mom.

My first Turkey - he turned out beautiful!

Mark carving up the turkey - great job!

Everything is done, now it's time to eat!

Happy Birthday Mark!

For My Husband, Mark, on his 30th birthday.

Sometimes I can just imagine you as a kid ~

running, playing, and having a great time.

That little boy in you always seems to come through,

and it’s part of the reason being married to you is so much fun!

I love the kid in you ~ and even more than that,

I love the man you grew up to be. Happy Birthday!

Charity Ball

We had our JA Charity Ball last night. It was a great turn out! And everything went well.

Mark got to celebrate his 30th birthday in a tux!

This crazy lady was walking around all night! She never fell!
