US Armed Forces Monument

Trey has been working on an armed forces monument for almost 2 years now. It all started with this idea to honor all of the branches of the military. It also turned out to be the first armed forces monument in the state to be located on armory grounds. After much hard work, long hours and raising a ton of money, I am happy to say that the town of Batesburg-Leesville finally has a monument that honors all of those who have served and who are currently serving in the US Military. Trey has worked so hard on this monument and I am so proud of everything he has accomplished. Last Friday night, the dedication ceremony was held and it was awesome. Trey did such a good job speaking and organizing the entire ceremony. I took some pictures to share with you all! Enjoy!

What a busy summer!

Well, I thought that I would be able to have more time to keep up with my blog this summer. However, we have been super busy! So, this is a crash course in what's been going on!

I finally took Luke to the zoo for the first time (I know...I'm such a bad mom!). Luke and I went with my friend Ashley and her son, Jack. We had a great time! Luke loved the zoo and all of the animals! His favorite were the gorillas! Here are some picture of our day!

On July 10, Trey and I celebrated 5 years of marriage (I can't believe it's been that long!). We were actually in Cincinatti for a friends wedding. We had a great time catching up with friends from college.



Last weekend our Sunday School class got together for a day on the lake with no children! We had the best time and I even skiied and got on the tube. I will say that I'm definitely too old to do those things anymore! I'm still hurting from it!
