Wednesday

My middle son takes his state certification test tomorrow morning. He's going to be a police officer. After two tours in Iraq he figures not much can bother him any more.
A week after that, my oldest son and his family return from England. I know it's been a hard 3 years for them, but I'm sure he will have many stories to tell, and many happy memories for the rest of his life.

And to finish off Wednesday...



The crepe myrtle my oldest gave me gosh, six years ago? Well, it's doing very well, anyway.
Happy Wednesday to you all!

    It is so nice when our children start to mature and begin to figure life out, something that some of us never do. Tell your son we wish him well in his pursuits. And please tell your oldest even some Brits cant make it in England and discover the best of lives in these United States ;o)

    I wish your sons the best, Linda! Big life-changing decisions are never easy. I myself am still trying to figure it all out!

    I am rooting for your son. My husband is a Texas Peace Officer, working with the Harris County Sheriff's Dept for over 20 years now...he too started off in the military when we were young kiddos! Pass along to your son that my husband has absolutely loved his career. It's not been easy, but he has passion for his job and there's a new scenario every day; it's never boring. I am sending prayers of blessings and I also know your other son coming home from England has got to be an exciting time as well. The memories will be worth more than can be imagined! He needs to blog!!! :-)
