Armed Forces Day Kids Run - Fort Stewart, GA - 5/19/2012

I woke up bright and early on Saturday morning around 7am. My daughter had slept in bed with me and rolled over to remind me it was the 19th, "Mom, do I really have to run half a mile today?"

Happy Father's Day~

My love and appreciation goes out to Darrell! He is missing another Father's Day with his children because of a deployment. I get angry sometimes that he misses so many things with them, but then I remind myself that he is doing this for them. He joined the army to get us out of the dead end town we lived in and to make a better life for us. He may not be around as much as he wants because of his job, but his love is always here. He makes sure his children always have everything they need. I'm very lucky to have him in my life.
