I’m a day late on this post because I was super busy yesterday. However I have not forgotten to honor our veterans! I had a family session with a military family yesterday and it could not have been a more perfect day with the weather and the holiday.
As a military wife I understand the sacrifices our men and women in uniform make to ensure the freedom of this country. I also understand the sacrifices military families make all too well. My husband deployed to Iraq with 5-20 Stryker Brigade out of Ft. Lewis, WA from June 2006 – September 2007. I am thankful to have a husband who stands up for what is right and who is willing to defend our country and protect our freedom. No, I do not like when he is deployed and yes, I worry like none other, but I understand why he must do what he does. So today and every day I am thankful for my husband and all veterans who serve selflessly for my freedom…and yours! Don’t forget to thank the veterans in your life. :)
A few photos from Tim’s deployment….
I love this photo because you can see who Tim is talking with in his sunglasses. Photo by J.M. Simpson with blog-ah!
This photo was labeled “Three Wise Men” by the photographer. Tim is front right with this interpreter and RTO. Photo by J.M. Simpson with blog-ah!

A long awaited homecoming at Ft. Lewis, WA. He told me he couldn’t breathe I was hugging him so tightly! (Taken by a friend)
