Hurry Up...And Wait! = Army Time

WE are READY for Andy to come home, but I guess the Army isn't. Looks like FRIDAY is our big day!!!
Here are the signs I just finished hanging around the house.



Flowers from Papa & Nana Tillis

I've ceased to be content...

Andy is completely done processing at Fort Bragg, but still has no promise of what day he gets to come home. It's so dissapointing for both of us, but at least he is safe and able to come home as soon as there flights available out of Pope AFB. Still waiting...impatiently!

I'm Learning to be Content...

in whatever state HE is in! lol.

Read Clayton's Sign!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just got the call from my husband telling me he is at Ft. Bragg, NC, and will be home within a week!!! Praise the Lord!!!

Won't be long now...

Clayton's 9 Month Pictures

Clayton didn't do any full-blown smiles~just these little grins. Most of the time, he was so curious with the leaves, and fall decor!

Happy Veteran's Day

This year, I've learned- first hand, how much dedication is takes to love a soldier in harm's way in the name of freedom. You all know how I feel, so I'll keep it brief. My Grandfather, Elwood W. Forney, fought in WWII leaving a wife, and newborn son behind. (I now know what my grandmother must have felt like.) The following pictures are of Andy's heros. His grandfather, Harold F. Plank who fought in WWII and survived D-Day at Normany, and his late Uncle James (Jim) D. Plank, who was KIA in Vietnam shortly before his 21st birthday. Andy is, of course, my personal hero. He is an Operation Enduring Freedom survivor who served courageously through many combat situations, many of which I don't even know all the details to. He never lost faith in coming home, and more importantly never lost faith in God to see him through. I am so proud to be married to an infantry soldier in the US Army National Guard. He is fulfilling his dream and duty to the country we are still proud to call our own.
