Daily Dose of Serenity

After almost nine years of wedded bliss, Antonio and I are still together and are as committed to our marriage as we were the day we made our vows before the judge in Vegas.

It's been an interesting ride, to say the least. We have been through being a military family, far-too-frequent separations due to Antonio's Army duties, to include his 15-month separation deployment to Iraq, traveling across country from North Carolina to Phoenix and beyond.

We have been jobless together, homeless and carless together, but we were never hopeless. The financial struggles have been many, but we are rich with love, friendship respect, honesty and fun.

It's been an adventure so far, and I look forward to continuing the wonder of our continued journey together.

The picture below was taken by our friend Angelina at the Doc and Eddy birthday party.

Here is one that I was happy to attend -- and was not tardy! Wonderful celebration for myself, Shaun and Karol to celebrate our birthdays at Doc and Eddy's. Thanks to all who came out to make it successful, and we really did miss all those who had to work and couldn't attend .

Above is a picture of the birthday boy and girls taken by my hubby, Antonio.
