We lived overseas for seven (7) years and have been back for almost 6 months now. We love being close to the kids and grandkids again. We have many memories from Africa, Italy, Iraq and our favorite, Australia. We have many friends we left behind but our good friends we will see again. We love comments to our posts so feel free, just keep it clean. If you notice the picture on top, it is one of God's most beautiful creatures, the dragonfly. I took this photo in Iraq. There were rockets exploding all around and this beautiful dragonfly kept hovering around me and I decided if it landed I would try and snap a picture. It landed on a bullet ridden wall so this picture has real meaning for me. Even during the worse times imaginable, God sends his beautiful creatures to give us comfort, to let us know everything will be okay. It was, I survived one full year in Iraq.

I've absolutely loved this picture since you sent it out to all of us while you were in Bagdhad. It never ceases to amaze me how those beautiful dragonflies keep making appearances letting us know that we have a special someone watching over us.
Dragonflies secretly comfort our family. A dragonfly is the tiny dragon that slays the trials of our everyday existence. At this time, 6/16/2009, we are praying for our little Berklee Jane Garn who now only weighs a little over 2 pounds. Let Jayme be smothered with dragonflies to let her know Berkelee is being watched over, even when she can't be at her side. SOMEONE IS
