member since: 11/17/2002 Thank you very much Bobby and Joannie, I really appreciate your wonderful comments.

I guess I should of just titled it Going up LOL. I tried to find something patriotic since he is in the military but really nothing jumped out at me today. Usually its all decorated maybe its too dang hot for anyone to get out hahaha 104 today man oh man.


I decided to change the title to just Goin Up. Thank you Joannie, I like it much better :) #1149237

I love this image and after reading the dedication to your son, Cassie, now it has turned into a symbol in my eyes. Each step he took to get where he is now. Not easy steps but strong and true (marble) ones.

Awesome job all the way around! -Laura #7728676
