Friday Favorites

I'm keeping the post kind of short today. I've not been on the last couple of days because I've been busy freezing veggies..I did want to post a quick favorite. My oldest daughter Elizabeth's sweetie John, is in Afghanistan. I know I've posted before about him. But we've been sending lots of letters his way and he's been writing her a lot. She always reads his letters to all of us and they are very touching..He tells us the guys get jealous because he gets the most letters. He also writes that they are all missing their girls back home and that they all talk about their sweeties and how much they are missing them. I guess it helps to know everyone else is feeling just like you!! Right before he left he did ask Elizabeth to marry him. He said he knows it was kind of quick...but that he loves her so much. We've kind of been keeping it secret. Some of you may remember last fall she lost her sweetie Jared. He was in the army stationed in Texas getting ready to go to Iraq. He and John were very good friends and both have always had a sweet spot for Elizabeth. John told Elizabeth that he just knows in his heart that Jared would want him to take care of her..very sweet!! So my friday favorite is a picture of Elizabeth with my favorite Marine...John. Please keep him in your prayers!! :)
