Sha-na-na-na-na....
Sha-na-na-na-na...for all you Caddyshack fans...that movie pretty much provided David's basic knowledge of golf for a very long time. However, he has really gotten into the game this last year, including spending ridiculous amounts of money on golf equipment, paraphernalia and fashion. Why is it that you must spend $60 on shoes with spikes? Oh, ok - it will let you grip the grass better so that you can improve your golf game by 1 point...whatever!!! Well, he enjoys it, and I'm glad he has found another hobby. It's supposedly a form of exercise, but I do believe you negate any amount of calories burned when you consume multiple beers throughout the course of 18 holes. Another plus is that David has reconnected with one of his best friends from high school, Michael. Now on the weekends that I work, Michael, his brother and David like to spend time together golfing.

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.
