Best.Day.Ever

Seven years ago today was hands down the *best* day of my life.  Skip came home safely today.  There is no better feeling in the world than when I finally got to hold him after all those months.  The joy, elation, and relief I felt were just indescribable. 






I will never forget those feeling and I will continue to honor this day every year for the rest of our lives..

    I love this post :) I love reading and watching people reunite with their family. When I go visit my mom in GA, we always sit so we're overlooking the escalators and watch all the military reunite with family.

    I have a video of my uncle coming home (not sure where he was...it was years ago, I believe I was still a baby). He was flying the plane so he saw all his family waiting for him and knew where they were standing. Everyone was coming off the plane and shaking hands with everyone waiting for them but not my uncle. He ran down those steps, ran right around everyone, and came tearing at my family. I've watched that video more times than I can count but it makes me cry every single time.

Spring Giveaway!

Image
First off I want to thank Kim over at Life As I Know I t for becoming my 100 th follower! I love her blog and just know we would hang out all the time if she didn't live across the country. I am completely humbled that 100 people actually want to read what I have to say! Blogging has opened up a whole new world of friendships to me and I would probably not have kept doing it if it was not for all of you! Okay, now it's down to the good stuff. I am *dying* for a little spring around here. We had a few days of warmth and sunshine, but for the past three days it has been raining...again....I heard they have even mobilized our National Guard in case the rivers decide to really get out of hand...you know more than the crazy flooding they've already been doing. Anyways, one of my favorite things to do to get ready for spring is to paint my nails a fun, bright color. So today I am giving away these beauties. One lucky reader will win all four of these fabulous colors! I g...

$50 CSN Giveaway!!

As you all know, I have raved about my love of CSN stores several times before.  They have a huge selection of products and are constantly adding new stores to their website.  My family definitely headed over there to do some of our Christmas shopping, and I was just perusing their selection of flat panel TV stands.      It's one thing, however, for me to tell you how great CSN is.  But it's another for you to experience it yourself.  That is why I am so excited to be sponsoring a $50 gift certificate giveaway to CSN to one of my readers!!!  It's the perfect opportunity to order yourself something you didn't receive for Christmas, or check out their fitness equipment to help with your new year's resolution! Entering is simple...just leave a comment telling me what your new year's resolution is {you can also just say you aren't making any this year if that's the case!}  The giveaway will be open until January 7th 10:00 pm est.
