Our Great Country!!!

Happy 4th of July to everyone! I am proud to be an American and truly believe this is a great country. I am proud to know some soldiers fighting in the war right now and want to wish them much love and safety. Thank you for standing up and protecting this great country of ours when it is needed.

Geoff's brother, Brent, and his wife, Katy, are both in the Army and Brent is currently in Afghanistan serving a year's tour of duty. He was just home for some R & R, then left last week to go back. We think he should be done in October of this year. Please keep Brent and Katy in your thoughts and prayers along with all of the other soldiers around the world this holiday weekend.


Geoff and I are headed to Beaufort, NC this weekend for some sun, sand, and good company. I have found I really enjoy living so close to the coast. It has been nice to drive only 1.5 hours to the beach when it used to take 8 hours in Texas. We are excited to spend the weekend on the boat and hanging out at Cape Lookout and the Shackleford Banks along with celebrating the July 4th holiday!

I hope everyone has a wonderful and safe weekend. Hopefully you will get to see a fireworks show, I know I'm looking forward to seeing some. Enjoy good food, good friends, and great celebrations.
