Today was a good day. My StepDad (Ken) and StepBro (Jake) and Sis (Sarah) came to visit for a while. Ken is here doing some training before going to Iraq. Chris got him some fishing lures and we wandered around checking out all the stuffed critters and the fish. We went and got some food afterward and got to visit for a while. It sure makes me miss my mom even more. Emily was a little upset when we talked about Ken going to war but she has such strong faith she knows if she says her prayers God will be right by his side. We'll be praying and waiting for him to come home. Pray for my mom too as she's going to be facing difficult times being away from him for 15 months. I love you Mom & Ken.
