Memorial Weekend + Weekly Snippets

Hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend! 

Memorial day holds a special meaning to us. I feel an extra special relationship with all military personal, even if I don't know them. Maybe it's because I grew up with both my brothers in the Marines and then married a Marine, but I hold such high respect for people who are willing to serve our country. Willing to fight for our freedoms even if that costs them their lives. It truly is the ultimate sacrifice. I only wish we would recognize what our armed forces do for us more often!

Moving on, we did enjoy our weekend together. The hubs started his first official working day on Sunday, followed by three days off, so we are still enjoying our 'weekend.' :)

1. E building houses with his crane. He tells me he wants to be a house builder, car builder, fireman, and police officer. However, I think he would make a better boss ;)

2. Hubby completed both academy's. This is how he wanted to celebrate. Poor guy works so hard for us he's sleep deprived ;)

3. We did however go out on a dinner date Friday night to celebrate his successful completion

4. This little guy got to go too

1. Going for a 4.5 mile run before temps hit the 90's
