Deep in the heart (clap clap) of Texas, Tx, United States
I am a veteran and the wife of a soldier. Together we have spent our adult lifetime serving our Nation, it's soldiers and families that support it. We have lived all over the country and experienced more then we ever expected. It is a life I love and one that I hold very close to me, but one that is bittersweet, filled with both joy and sacrifice, friendship and loss...but it is never without hope.
Today is my beautiful niece's 15th birthday! She's such a babe! Lynnzie was my very first niece, and I am so happy that she has grown up to be the young lady she was meant to be! They don't get much better than her. I love you Lynnzie!
Ahh kristi, Ganks so much for remembering my birthday and the fact that I am your favorite. I lub ya and I am glad I had you to mentor me through my youth. Thanks for the present and for loving me!
The above picture was taken moments before Donnie's unit left for Iraq in 2004. Marlys was only three months old. To date, that was the hardest day of my life. I stood there and watched them march out the door...making sure that I didn't take my eyes off of him until he was gone. I didn't know if I would ever see him again.

I have to admit she is a babe. I think she turned out good because of all the one on one babysitting you did!!
