Milestones...

Happy April! I'm not a huge fan of April Fools jokes... I don't like surprises either... boring, huh?

The first week of April holds many milestones for our family.

April 3, 2003 is the day that Nick left for Iraq. It's hard to believe that it was five years ago and I still remember every tiny detail like it was yesterday.

April 4, 2005 is the day that Nick, Emily and I, (pregnant with Ethan) left Colorado Springs and moved back to Arizona. We left the Army life and everything that goes along with it, our first home, and some very special friends. It was a very bittersweet day.

April 7, 2002 is the day that Nick and I were married! Six years and it only gets better! We will celebrate this weekend with "our day". We spend the entire day out together, and then we have dinner somewhere nice. This year we're up in the air... Ruth's Chris again or The Melting Pot?? Maybe we'll fly back to Springs to try The Famous or return to Mackenzies Chop House... hmm!
All of these days hold such meaning to us. If you were, thanks for being a part of them.

Happy Birthday to Elloree Grace Flippin, born at 2am this morning! Congratulations to Todd, Schelijn and Jack Greer!

Happy Tuesday!
