I thought that once Ryan was out of the military, he would be home more....not the case with his job. Early this morning he left for Pennsylvania for work. He comes back late tomorrow night. Even though he is not gone for weeks - months at a time like he was with the military, i still miss him all the same. Especially Sundays. Sundays are our family days. On Saturday evenings, we go to church that way we can have the Sundays free for any projects, fun family time, or anything that comes our way. (can you tell i am missing him right now?) haha.

I forgot about doing my Thankful Thursdays this past week....i'll do it now:
~Sundays...when Ryan is home
~His job
~The way James says "Mama" and "Daddy"
~Our air conditioned house!
~Hospitable neighbors
~Trail Mix
~The times where you can look back on all the Lord has gotten us through or delivered us from so many things
~Late nights watching Arrested Development and Swamp People haha!

James is waking up now, i best go fetch him. :) Have a thankful day everyone!

Here are some pictures from the 4th of July:
