Hey Cupcake!

I'm not quite sure exactly when I fell to the peer pressure of the latest fad - cupcakes. I've never even really liked cake all that much, but these cute little confections have me drooling. So, despite the pouring rain, we just HAD to stop when we saw this cupcake trailer on the side of the road. Now, mind you, I would NEVER stop for other roadside stands - tacos, BBQ - something about them makes me think they can get around the rules of food safety because they can just drive away from the inspectors. But, cute little cupcakes? In a cute little cupcake trailer? I felt confident that I would be getting quality cupcakes - and the line of people in the pouring rain confirmed my suspicions. Yummmm......

Freedom Journey


In December of 2006, just 2 years after Byron died in Iraq, we decided to take a "Freedom Journey." We spent 3weeks on a road trip through the eastern US - from Austin east to Savannah, then all the way north to New England, and back a little inland to Texas. We traveled over 6000 miles in an effort to see our beautiful country and understand what Byron sacrificed his life for. We drove scenic routes, through small towns and big cities, stopping at places that held history in shaping our nation. We stopped at Veteran's Memorials, National Cemeteries, historical monuments and some of the most beautiful places in America. In each place, we left a "Freedom Rock," a smooth stone that had Byron's name and KIA date on one side, and said "Freedom Isn't Free" on the other. It was our way of taking Byron with us and leaving a bit of him in each special place. This experience was so healing for us, and truly one of the most memorable and special events of our entire lives. Here are our favorite pictures from the Freedom Journey.
