what’s on your list?

If you watch the Today show, you know that in May they had a “Live for Today” segment each day in which they gave viewers the chance to accomplish something that is on their “list.” I reflected on this and decided to write my list down! There are many things I would like to do [...]

Highlights of tonight included the Idol finalists singing with their Idols, like Bo and Skynard. That was very cool. Low points [...]


Welcome!

I'm Rachel - mom, wife, youth minister, and student! I'm also a deployment survivor! My husband, Brian, is an OEF veteran and returned in June 2007 from Afghanistan. This blog has followed Grace and I while we made our way here at home ... and still now as we all adjust to being a family again and prepare for another deployment in 2009. Thanks for reading!
