On our way to Savannah...

Where to begin...

I am learning how to grieve....learning how to let life move on its way remembering that there are far worse issues that I could/will deal with one day. My god, there are people who have lost people! I have lost people...why is this so different?

I am learning that change is hard always but that some change is harder. We go through great change as a military family and will continue to know that change rules our lives in most cases, but this change is so different, why?

Kate told me today that Cooper told Sully to take care of me when he left and I think this is true because Sully now follows me around, is glued to my side as Cooper was. He is learning to do what Cooper did for 7 years, he is trying to fill the paws of a great dog that lived long enough to touch so many people's lives.

We thank you all for teaching him, growing him and loving him. I am sure that no one loved him as much as Dave or I did but any love is great love. Please know that he loved you too!

Rest in God's Peace and Know that You are SO Missed and will always be SO Loved!

Fragile Circle

Fragile Circle
We who choose to surround ourselves with lives even more temporary than our own,

live within a fragile circle, easily and often breached.
Unable to accept its awful gaps, we still would live no other way.
We cherish memory as the only certain immortality,

never fully understanding the necessary plan.
--Irving Townsend

Got music?!

Check out the cute Hello Kitty :-) I may change that up, but I FINALLY figured out how to add the stinking music!!!! YAY ME!!!!!!!!!!!

NO ORDERS!!!

Dang the military....we are still patiently waiting (well I am not acting very patient) for the military to decide when to let us know where we will be living next.

Dave is still doing very well in school and is supposed to graduate in December. This is not set in stone however, as usual, but we are hoping he will not be washed back for any reason.

We will be in Destin this weekend for the 4th!!! Our friends from Thomasville (Chris, Amber and baby Jensen) are coming too!!!!! We are so excited for a fun beach trip to this beautiful beach. I will do my best to post pictures when we get back, but I will be quickly thrown into cheer camp and then off to TX/CO for a couple of weeks!! So, no promises!!!

I hope you are all enjoying the twitter updates to the left hand of the screen. I am working on putting some other additions on the blog, so keep checking it out. I did do something weird yesterday that caused me to not have access to the blog for a bit and I kind of freaked out. All is well now, thanks to my awesome tech skills (riiiiiiight!).
