1/6 Snipers :)

                    1/6 Snipers            

 His 8 man team.

Ben's team!

I was excited to get some new pictures of Ben and some of the other guys out with him. They are doing well and have accomplished so much during their time out there. We are just 2 weeks away from closing on the house!! Ben is very excited to come home to see it all done. We picked everything out the week that he left.
1/6 has sustained casualties and many injuries to Marines during this deployment. They are tired and ready for a comfy bed and to enjoy the comforts of daily life here in the states that we all too often take for granted. So please keep them in your prayers until they are home and safe. 42 days Baby!!! Almost done :)

Gone but never forgotten

Ben and his guys lost a very good friend recently. Please keep the Desforges family in your prayers as they mourn their loss.  Josh made the ultimate sacrifice. Please keep the other 1/6 Sniper Platoon guys in your prayers. As we draw near to the end of this very difficult deployment they are tired and overworked and need our prayers now more than ever. Here are a few pictures of Josh.
Thank you for your sacrifice Josh! RIP , you will never be forgotten.

Abby and Liv come to visit!!

We are excited to have Abby and Olivia here visiting from Ohio this week. Olivia is my God daughter and Abby is one of my best friends. We enjoyed a Mother's Day BBQ with Ashley and her kiddos and Jackie, Marc and Brennon as well. We hope to get lots done and will surely run out of time trying to accomplish it all but as always Im sure we will have fun. Olivia will be 1 this month! I can't believe how fast time flies. She is all over and keeps us all on our toes. Here are a few pics. Hope everyone has a great week. Please keep Ben and his guys in your prayers.  They are almost done and we cant wait for them all to come home safe!
We love and miss you Baby! Only 55 days!! yeah!!! Stay safe!

Myrtle Beach for the Weekend :)

The girls and I spent this past weekend in Myrtle Beach. It was a much needed break and we enjoyed some quality time just "us". It was a beautiful weekend. We spent all day on the beach and of course had to squeeze in some outlet mall shopping in the evening. We ate dinner with a view of the ' Gators" and enjoyed a sunrise breakfast and " Broadway at the Beach" all day Sunday. Here are a few pics. Soon BABY!!!!

DAYS BABY!!
