Veterans Day!

Wow what a day! Me and my friend Whitney decided to attend Knoxville's 83rd annual Veterans Day Parade. We had actually been invited to come and be interviewed on the radio to talk about our husbands. We were up really early, but we left on time. We didn't know how long it was going to take us to get there so we were there really early! It was cloudy to day so that made it extra cold and we weren't dressed as warmly as we probably should have been. but that is ok! We had so much fun watching all the people parade down Gay Street (for those who don't know that is in the heart of downtown knoxville!) Although there may have been a few tears shed when they played the national anthem, did the 21 gun salute, and played Taps all right in a row! They really know how to make a military wife cry. But in the end we had so much fun. And it was really wonderful to get to be there, front row and center, and get to honor our husbands and all of those who have fought for our freedom. I know that I am truely blessed! Enjoy the pictures from today:

This is the huge flag that hang in the middle of the parade. It was so cool to watch them do it


These men are apart of the Delta Company Marines (the same unit Travis is in) doing the 21 gun salute! It was such a touching moment.


This women was walking down the street yelling "What are you proud to be?" and everyone would shout "American!!!"


Fly over

Just reminded me of Travis.

Isn't this so cool. I couldn't balance on that thing even if I try

The ROTC unit that me and Travis were a part of when we were in High School

Hey Beautiful! I love your blog and your pictures! I love you and I love Travis too. I pray for you guys too, and our church says Travis' name each week during prayer. Yes, people really do keep their word and pray...and there is POWER in prayer.
Love you!
