Soooo, we found out that my wife’s parents are paying for us to visit the states in July. My question for everyone is........can I bring you something back? You have time to ponder, but I’m definitely going shopping while we are there and if I can fit something in for you.....I WILL!!

Well, someone hit the in-law jackpot!  That is really nice of them!  I know it's a few months away, but HAVE A WONDERFUL TRIP!  Yay!

And that wonderful trip wish goes to all of you who are heading "home" soon!  I live vicariously through all of you.  :P

(One day, I will prioritize my budget in that direction... maybe...)

Thanks! It’s really quite a shock for us. I didn’t think we would be able to afford a trip for quite a while, probably until I had ILR at the least. They have booked flights, transportation, and accommodations too. Amazing.

My in laws really are the best! I love them to death. The whole family is actually going over, but for them to just offer to foot the bill........beyond amazing

Yay FIVE!  :D

Five is the most magical age!  Everything is possible at that age!

She's adorable, and I can tell from the photos that she's a sweet human being.
