When Ryan was given the options of where we could be stationed, a lot of it weighed on how close we'd be to home... We've missed out on lots of family stuff and what we HAVE gone to, has often costs us a small fortune to get to. So, when we realized we'd only be hours away from friends and family, it didn't take me long to decide that I wanted to be there when Steve called to tell me he was throwing a surprise party for his wife and my long-time friend, Rochelle.
It was so nice to be able to share in this special day with Rochelle and we are so looking forward to having many more hometown get-togethers, now that we live so close!
(P.S. The dress I'm wearing, I won! You can't see the entire thing here, but trust me when I say it was really cute! Thanks to Cocomae.com for having a contest and thanks to me for coming up with the name for it: It's Tierin' Up My Heart (my omage to the best boy band of all time: 'N Sync)!
