Fingerprint Friday!

Every week Pampering Becki hosts Fingerprint Friday. These posts are based on the song “Fingerprints of God” by Steven Curtis Chapman. Several of us bloggers blog about a picture we find each week that we see God’s Fingerprints on. You can check out her sight for more details.


My wonderful boyfriend, James Edward Brooks, sent me this picture the other day. He is starting to train for his twelve month deployment to Iraq, with the Army. I am choosing this picture and him on this Fingerprint Friday because he could be home helping his Dad with his Mom's lung cancer, (that she was diagnosed with a week after he left for Hawaii.) He could get out and come home, but he is staying to do what he feels like he needs to do for our country. I am very proud of him and worry about him everyday. I know he will be just fine with his fast approaching deployment. I can not wait to see him when he comes home, and I am sure I will be writing many more blogs about him here soon.

Fingerprint Friday!

I took a funny picture of my cousin Matt, who has been a rock in my life since I was a child. We are more like siblings then cousins. Sadly we do not spend as much time together, as we did when we where kids, but every time we do we always have a wonderful time. My cousin Matt was the star football player for Taft High all through high school, and already had many scholarship opportunities. When he was 16 he found out he was going to be a father. Instead of ditching out on his child's life, he quit the football team and got a full time job to take care of his family. I am very proud of the man my cousin as become. He has a wonderful wife and two beautiful children. It is a blessing to see him with his children, and it is quit funny how much I see him in his son Zack. He however does not think it is always that funny. He also already has the gun ready when Miss Alexis Ann brings the first boy over. Now it is amazing to be able to watch our children play together! I love them with all of my heart!
