Today is a very, very, very, very, very special day for our family. The reasons: Today is our sweet, wonderful oldest grandson's, Jalen, 10th Birthday today; and our sweet, wonderful son, Troy, is getting home.
Jalen said, "This is going to be my best birthday ever because my Dad is coming home and I get my ID card."
His Dad (our son Troy) has been on a 6+ month deployment on the USS Russell. When big ships come into Pearl Harbor they are guided by little tug boats. It's amazing how tugs so small can set the course for such big ships. Also, the USS Russell will be a wonderful site to see because all the sailors are lined up along all the decks, and the ship has a HUGE lei on it's bow!. I can't adequately describe it so take a look at the USS Russell's Facebook site.
Even though Troy and his family are in Hawaii, we are there with them in our heart and no less excited.
Our special day brings surprises for you, too, my wonderful bloggers. You get two new Digis today. The yummy Ice Cream Sundae Digi is for Jalen because, as I've mentioned before, ice cream is his (and mine) favorite dessert. And the Tug Boat is to commerate Troy's return home. Above the Freebies are my sample cards. Could I see yours, please?
Please keep our son and his family in you prayers.

Thanks for the lovely digis. My dad was a tugboat captain so I know how you feel. Before that, we were always standing in line, at the dock, waiting for my dad to come home. Just traveled to Hawaii last year. It is paradise, your family is so lucky to be stationed there and to have your son return home safely. Blessings to all of you. Barbara
