Wow, What an update! Jan- July

Hey yall! Sorry we haven't written in a while, I'll try and be better this go round.
Since the New Year...it's sad, I'm sure we were doing something, but at the moment I can't think of what we did.

March 1, I dropped Dusty off at Ranger School at Ft. Benning, GA in a snow storm. Who would have thought that it would snow 6 inches or so in GA in March!? He was there a total of 62 days and went straight through the first time....goooo Dusty! We are all so proud of him. He graduated on May 1, then a week later, I graduated from Georgia Southern University on May 9. I will have my Bachelor's Degree in Child and Family Development at the end of August. I am currently finishing up my internship at a YMCA in downtown Savannah.

At the start of the summer, Dusty and I decided to grow a garden. We planted tomatoes, squash, and okra. All 3 are doing really well and we can't wait to taste the vegetables we grew!

In June, we celebrated our 2 year anniversary (6-9-07) on June 6 at the Chart House on River Street. We are so blessed and thankful to have one another in our lives. We truly love one another and love spending time together. We also celebrated that day by adding a new member to our family, Paisley. She is a teeny tiny Yorkie and is adorable (currently 1 lb, 6 oz).
It is so nice to live near the beach...we have been several times this summer with friends. At the end of May, we took a mini vacation for a couple days to Jacksonville Beach, FL. We didn't have the best weather, but it was nice to get away and relax with each other.

We celebrated July 4th by going to a Trace Adkins concert at Ft. Stewart with some friends and watching fireworks. Then the next day, we went to Jekyll Island with 3 other couples and had a blast laying out all day, then fireworks that night. This past weekend, we had Dusty's Aunt Trish and her four kids come visit. We had a really good time eating out, going to Tybee, playing baseball (wiffle ball), playing Wii, and more.
This coming Wednesday, my mom is coming to visit for a week with her cousin Pam. We are looking forward to more family coming to visit and hanging out.
Further down the road, we recently found out that Dusty will be deploying to Iraq in early December. We will keep everyone up to date as more information comes our way. Keep your calendars open so we can try to see everyone! Please keep us in your prayers and we thank you for everything!
