Parris Island - SC

26 August, 2009

Parris Island, SC - Marine recruit training facility. My sister Amber is now a MARINE! We are SO proud, and we were all so lucky to be able to be there to see her graduate.

The first time we got to see AMBER! We were so excited, over 3 months of no talking, no seeing, it was GREAT!

Mom and Amber :)


Dad and Amber, they look very alike in this picture.

Savannah - Georgia

Gorgeous fountain in this pretty park in Savannah, GA

One of the MANY pretty houses in Savannah, I just loved the vines and plants at this one :)


Another gorgeous Savannah home.

Stopping to smell the roses :)

She said they smelled lovely!

The flowers there were gorgeous.
We spent 1/2 the day at the waterfront and at Point Defiance Park, we had lunch, found shells and crabs, fed the ducks, went down to the Marina and smelled all the beautiful flowers. It was a really great day.

In family life, love is the oil that eases friction, the cement that binds closer together, and the music that brings harmony.

Justin and Bre
I cannot promise you a life of sunshine; I cannot promise riches, wealth, or gold; I cannot promise you an easy pathway, that leads away from change or growing old. But I can promise all my heart's devotion; A smile to chase away your tears of sorrow; A love that's ever true and ever growing; A hand to hold in yours through each tomorrow.
