My Somewhat Simple Life

In lieu of our Charity Water Car Wash, this HAS to be my pick for today!

“Hey, get your car washed today!” Hahaha!

Mama’s Song of the Day is… Car Wash ~Rose Royce

Again, I owe you two days worth of songs. Some time in the near future, I will be ahead of the game. Some day.

Mama’s Song of the Day (for Thursday)is… What A Fool Believes ~The Doobie Brothers

Anita Baker is CLASSIC! Enough said.

Mama’s Song of the Day (for today) is… I Apologize ~Anita Baker

The first time I heard this song, it was catchy to me. Now I’m in love with it. I love songs that tell a story.

Mama’s Song of the Day is… Impossible ~Shontelle

I believe I am changing these lyrics to… “He’s my kind of rain.” Refreshing, just what I need, and the best thing for me.

Mama’s Song of the Day (for Tuesday) is… She’s My Kind Of Rain ~Tim McGraw

Today we sent my brother off to Iraq for his first tour. It was harder to deal with than I thought. I have a lot of emotions running through me and my mind is kind of cloudy. I’m going to let my pictures from the day tell the story for me and my family. We love you Randy.

Daddy, we'll be right here

We took turns for our hug, and we all did this before he boarded, including himself. My mom held hers to the window until she couldn't see the plane anymore.

For those who don’t know, that is “I love you”.

We watched him board. He will have several layovers, grabbing a couple others along the way.

Backing up...

And taking off.

See you soon little brother. Much love, respect, and prayers.
