WOO HOO!!!

Tylers Home from college (thank God for Tyler & Billys safe travels)!!! I have a day off work today....cookout with Billy, Tyler, Bre, Michael and my parents, and ladies meeting tonite with my friends....the holiday doesn't get any better than all that!!!! :)
Thank God for those that have given their lives and are serving our country... so I can have my freedom today with my peeps!!!! Here's a poem I found online...enjoy & be thankful!

I watched the flag pass by one day.It fluttered in the breeze.A young Marine saluted it,and then he stood at ease.I looked at him in uniformSo young, so tall, so proud,He'd stand out in any crowd.I thought how many men like himHad fallen through the years.How many died on foreign soil?How many mothers' tears?How many pilots' planes shot down?How many died at sea?How many foxholes were soldiers' graves? No, freedom isn't free.I heard the sound of TAPS one night, When everything was stillI listened to the bugler playAnd felt a sudden chill.I wondered just how many timesThat TAPS had meant "Amen,"When a flag had draped a coffinOf a brother or a friend.I thought of all the children,Of the mothers and the wives,Of fathers, sons and husbandsWith interrupted lives.I thought about a graveyardAt the bottom of the seaOf unmarked graves in Arlington.No, freedom isn't free.
I LOVE MY NEW JOB!!!! Thank you to all those that have prayed for me, given me gifts/notes...etc. I really do appreciate everything. I am working for a handicap equipment company that sells vans and makes them handicap accessible. The customers have been so sweet and theres nothing like getting a paycheck WHILE being a blessing to someone. I think God has me right where I belong.
