Here's to 30 Years

My parents will celebrate their 30th Wedding Anniversary on Aug 17. Thirty years is just amazing to me! I am so proud of them and could not ask for better parents. I had a wonderful childhood and strive to follow their example as a spouse and parent.

My mom asked me to put together a video or two. She is going to surprise my dad with them when they come up next weekend. The first video, my mom has seen already. The 2nd one, I am keeping as a surprise. She picked out the songs, gathered up all of the pictures for me, and I got to do the fun part, the video! I cannot wait to see their faces has they watch 30 years of pictures! Congratulations Mom and Dad on 30 years of Marriage! Here is to 30 More!! BTW, remeber to pause my playlist on the bottom of the blog!!

P.S. I haven't viewed the videos on blogger yet, but the last videos I posted were out of sync with the song. I always try to put pictures that follow along the words of the song. I feel that it makes the pictures and the song even more special.

Old Videos

I have really been reminiscing the past two days. It all started when I decided to add some songs to my blog. Then I wrote the post, Our Song (scroll down). And then I found all of these videos that I made for David when he was deployed to Iraq the first time. Tyler heard me playing the song, Already There and she lost it. We used to listen to that song when David was deployed to Iraq. I couldn't believe that she remember that. She has really had a hard time with this deployment. It creeps up more on her at night. Which is understandable, I am the same way. A few years ago, my mom bought Tyler a children's book, I Hope You Dance, and it had the cd of Sara Evans singing the song. Well on the back of the book, I saw that they have the same book with the words to Already There. I am gong to check out Amazon today and order it for the kids. We look at lots of pictures of David and he made the kids a video on his camera and emailed it to them today. They were so excited. Landon was kissing my laptop. They love and miss their daddy so much!

I attached some of the videos that I made David from his deployment to Iraq. The last video is very special to us. I made a video of pictures from everyone in our family. (SSSHHH, somehow I missed my sister but she doesn't read the blog so we are ok.) The video made me really sad and happy. David has lost his father and I have lost my grandfather since this video was made. And there are new additions to our family since the video. It is a video that we will always cherish and show the kids. I hope you enjoy the video and be sure to push pause on the music at the bottom of the blog so you can hear the videos!
