Alot of AMERICAN PRIDE AND THANKFULNESS....

We are only abut 35 minutes from BAMC (Brooke Army Medical Center) in San Antonio ,and I have to add that we are very proud of BAMC!! BAMC is where alot of the critically Wounded Warriors are brought to for some of the best medical care in the world. On Saturday BAMC was taking 300 Wounded Warriors and their families on a fishing trip to Corpus Christi, Texas and they just happen to have to come down Highway 87 right thru La Vernia!! Well there is about 25 miles of Hwy 87 between us and San Antonio and all along the route there was hundreds of people just waiting for these brave men and women to pass by just so we could yell, clap, wave an American Flag and just show our straight from the heart Texas gratitude and appreciation for all that they have done for us and for all that they have sacrificed!! Here are some pictures from the day , they passed at right about 7:15 a.m. and people started lining the streets at about 6:00 am and it was all over by 7:20 , and it was just about the best 45 minutes I have ever had!!! We parked out in front of our church, I think 98% of our church was out there , it was just an amazing time!! THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR SOLDIERS OUT THERE WOUNDED OR NOT....ACTIVE DUTY OR NOT....THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR SOLDIERS WHO FOUGHT PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE....YOU ARE TRULY OUR HEROES!!!!!
HERE THEY COME.....

THERE WERE 4 BUSES AND OUR COUNTY SHERIFF AND ABOUT 6 COP CARS CAME THRU IN FRONT AND BACK WITH SIRENS ON !!! IT WAS INCREDIBLE!!!


THIS IS WHAT THE SCENE WAS FOR ABOUT 25 MILES AHEAD OF US AND PROBABLY FOR ABOUT ANOTHER 60 MILES AHEAD......

Also on Saturday we had a wedding, a very special wedding. These two people are Wayne and Yvonne Brooks. Mine and Wayne's families go back about 5 generations...THEY ARE FAMILY!
Yvonne and I were in the same class and graduated together. They had Brandon which is the same age as our Steven, they graduated together and we also had their graduation party together. Then the beautiful Dominique and then our gorgeous Mariah was born. Like I said we are FAMILY and we all love each other sooooo much. Saturday Brandon married Melissa outside in a beautiful yard wedding. It was a beautiful wedding and I just wanted to show you a few pictures from the day.

Here is Wayne and Yvonne..... you know how I feel about both of you. I love you!!!! My life would not be the same without you in it, and I thank God for you both. Oh the memories....I can't wait to see what God has planned for our future together.....


Here is a picture of the wedding party....all of them were so handsome and pretty....


Here is Brandon looking at his BRIDE, I think this picture is just priceless, I just love it!!! It made me tear up, I am so proud of him.


Here is my Dominique, she is such a lovely young woman, and she is so smart, she loves God, she is so caring and so unique she makes me so darn proud, her Aunt Kristy loves you so much!!!


Here is my Mariah! This young lady is just not a pretty face, she is so talented, she is an athletic machine!!! I love listening to Mariah talk, her voice just pours sweetness and caring , she is as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside, your Aunt Kristy and Uncle Frank love you so much baby.


And of course it would not be a normal event if there wasn't the usual "Dork" picture! Here is Astrud, my neice Michelle and Astrud's "Lil Mister" Anthony!!! They called it their Family portrait!



And last but certainly not least, My Mister usually gets our coffee ready at night , so most mornings all I have to do is flip the switch. Well last week this is what I woke up too....my mug that says: "The Real Boss", his mug : The Man, The Myth, The Legend and can you see it????
Franceska's picture with a handwritten note that says: "WE LOVE YOU BIG"!!!!! and little stick people for all of us!!!! I know....you have no words.....he is toooooo much isn't he!!!!
