Photo Trip

I took off last Friday for a little camera time and a trip with another photo junky, Amanda. We spent a little time at Fall Creek Falls and then head to Chattanooga for lunch at Mudpie. It was a fun day.

Just so you know the fly photo was taken at the park and not at Mudpie.

We got new phones

B got the Blackberry Storm and I have the Blitz. I love my little phone. I don’t need a lot of bells and whistles. Levi, my Verizon Consultant, wanted me to get the next step up since it would have been a free phone but the next step looked far to Republican for me. I need something a little cuter with real personality.

my vacation through the car window

 

lance is home.

this was the first sight i had of him. i didn’t even recognize him in the line until he raised his brow at me.

this was just after he won his award for excellence. it was one of the only ones that came out fairly clear cause i was shaking so hard i couldn’t take a decent photo.

here he is with some of his boys.

i can’t express how proud i am enough to make you feel the depth of it. this experience gave me such an appreciation for what these boys go throw to reach their goals of becoming soldiers. it was awesome and it made me want to be more disciplined in my own life.

i'm goin' to get my boy

We are leaving tonight for Fort Leonard Wood to pick up Lance. It makes me teary eyed thinking about just how close I am to getting to see him for the first time since June 1st. They better not have changed all the good stuff. I hope he still makes his silly faces like the one above. It wouldn't be the Ferd without those faces.
