Love is in the AIR!





Many things have happened this past week. Collin and I were able to take our first trip without daddy, down to San Antonio to see my baby brother graduate from the Air Force training. I can not describe how proud I was to see him standing there with all the other young men who have decided to help defend our country! Seeing him in his uniform was such a sight...there really is something special about a man in uniform! I was able to see a confidence that has been lacking since I can remember. There was an attitude of "I am someone" and it showed in all of his actions. No longer the little boy who was uncertain of who he was. Now a man who knows his purpose! Seeing him march in the graduation parade and walking in sync with the other airmen was such a joy. I am not a prideful person, but the "pride" that arose in me was overwhelming.
This graduation was only one major milestone in the life of my little brother. Another event that I was able to witness was a proposal to my future sister-in-law! My brother is GETTING MARRIED!!! She is such a sweet girl, and I could see the love and emotion she was feeling as he knelt down to present her with her beautiful ring! She of course said YES with tears in her eyes.
This was my week and it was quite memorable!
