This particular picure has a story behind it. Many of you know that my husband Steve has been through a lot during his deployments. Ask him and he'll tell you how he got each of his 4 purple hearts. This picture shows one such story. He has the minute details of the story but on Christmas day 2005, his Iraqi interpreter turned on him and demanded his computer full of confidential info at gunpoint. Steve, thinking quickly agrees so that the guy turns his back on Steve. Steve unholsters his weapon and hearing this, the guy turns and shoots Steve in the chest causing Steve to fall to the ground where he returns fire and delivers the kill shot. Well when the bullet hit him in the chest it hit his badge on his bullet proof vest. This picture shows the side view. His guardian angel was on his shoulder that day... the badge is barely bigger than a silver dollar. The curvature was the dent made by the bullet.
Till the next picture! - Smooches

Very Touching
I had to post this when I saw it. Honestly brought me to tears for obvious reasons. Jennie you know it pains me to say who made the commercial but it is a wonderful reminder during the holiday season of the men and women fighting for our freedom.

Travels to Ohio!
So many of you know I recently travelled to Ohio for a Neursurgeon consult (which of course left me with more pain and less answers.) But I did get a few interesting pictures.
The first one disserves a paragraph all to it's own. I've attached a link so you can hear the song that named after it. I got the best picture that I could from the road. The statur is called Big Buttter Jesus because over time the white paint has turned yellowish. Also in front of Him there is a long shallow pool so he allso has the nicknames: drowning Jesus and Touchdown Jesus, "I can't believe it's not Jesus."
So If I remember correctly that was south of Cincinnati. It was pretty right between the two boards there are these small rolling hills and when you get up over the last one, Cincinnati comes into view. It was actually ver pretty!
Well when we finally got to Wright-Patterson AFB we checked into the Fisher house and got settled in. The ladies that work there are so super sweet! I couldn"t have asked for more caring accomodating people. Especially after the mix up we had when they scheduled me with the wrong person who would be in until the next day. Geez. It at least gave us time to get to know the area and check out the mall. I got this huge porterhouse steak at Logan's but had to leave early cuz of my head. Sigh.... Well I finally got to see my real doctor and I'm back at square run! Sigh again. Anyway we snuck in some pretty pictures on post.... hehe I'll be posting another random pic here soon!
Love always!!
