Don't Look Back . . . .
Our journey in life takes us many places and our path crosses with many people. I think the most important thing to remember each day is don't look back......look FORWARD. Keep your eyes focused on what's NEXT today, not on what was DONE yesterday. Our positive thoughts will keep our daily attitude and our family's attitude happy and fun and thinking GOOD things about TOMORROW! Our burdens can be light, if we let God take our hand and lead us on our journey . . . follow his lead with a SMILE!!!! Do something FUN today....splash in a puddle!

A Promise. . . . A Committment . . .
March 1 . . . .
I am a proud Army Mom. My daughter is PFC Hughes. Currently serving her first tour of duty in Korea. Her family loves and misses her. All of us, her brother, her dad, her son, her sister-in-law, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and all other relatives are so proud of her.
I dedicate this month of March to the military families and the committment THEY make while their loved ones are away. Please join me in this journey of love with my family through pictures and the daily activities that we miss our Army Girl joining us in. It is my hope that through this blog, she will be able to live through the pictures and seek peace in knowing that we include her in our hearts even though she is far away.....
Love you, dear daughter....
