Pat is home!

Pat is my brother-in-law. Most of you know that he was in Germany for the last 2 1/2 yrs, while he also did another tour in Iraq. He came home on Wednesday, with two of his kids. His oldest daughter and his wife stayed up in Washington, while she visits with her family too.
They will soon leave to go to Georgia, where they will be stationed while Pat becomes a drill instructor. Things are tough for a military family, and we hope that this change in danger level will bring some resolution and peace to his personnal life and to our worries since he has been in Iraq, etc.
I am excited to know that he has new medals, flags, etc. that I will be helping him get framed soon. I often frame military items for customers that come into the store... but doing these will be an extra pride sort of feeling. :)
I will have pics to share soon, and more stories to tell... for now though, I better get to sleep since I work tomorrow. UGH!!
Praying that we are SO slow that I can go home a little early tomorrow afternoon.

Hope everyone enjoys a happy & SAFE 4th!
