Today my cousin Shane is coming home from Iraq for two weeks. I am so happy for his family. He has 5 year old twin girls and they are so cute! I know they are happy to see their dad and I know their mom is very happy! Please pray for them for the next two weeks. They are going to travel to Disney world for family time! I know my Grandma is happy because it is her birthday this weekend and she is excited that he is home for a little while!


Patrick and I will be travelling home this weekend for many reasons. We haven't been home in 4 weeks and I think that if we have to go another week without seeing Caroline and Eli, I would go crazy! I am also helping some friends throw our friend Lindsay a bridal shower! I am very excited about this because I am so happy for Lindsay! We have been friends for a long time and I am so happy to see her get married! She is going to be a beautiful bride. This is also the first wedding Patrick and I will be in as a married couple! That is going to be fun!!! We are also coming home because of Mother's Day! We can't go without seeing and thanking our moms! This mother's day will be special for my sister because she now has her family complete after years of waiting! I know she will be happy on Mother's Day. This Mother's Day will also be different for me because I will get gifts. Now, I am not a mother I promise! :) We are going to celebrate my birthday on the Graham side! I am so blessed to have married into a family that is so loving! They have made me one of them! I have never gotten birthday presents in May before, but I am just blessed that they would think about me!
We are also going home to see Granddad. He is still in the hospital so please continue to pray for him!
We also want to show off our dog! :) I can't wait for everyone to see him, especially Caroline because she calls him "Uke" . She thinks of Patrick now as a boyfriend so I know she is happy to see him!
We hope to also see our friends Brandon and Summer this weekend. They have a cute 2 year old girl named Brynn and they are expecting another child as well! We have not seen them in a long time and Brandon's birthday is this weekend so this is a great time to get together.

So we have many reasons to come home and hope to get all this done this weekend! I can't wait to see everyone! I am definitely looking forward to this weekend!
