Puppy-licious
Our dogs are so stinkin' spoiled that they DEMAND to eat straight out of the Beneful bag whenever we bring it home from the store. Seriously, they whine and jump and try to scratch and bite the bag. (And, yes Purina, they are available for commercial work!) So, before we pour it into our storage container, we open it up, spill a little out onto the floor and let them feast.

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.
