Happy Memorial Day All!
I'm a couple days late, I'm sorry for that! It's been a busy couple of weeks as we prep for our road trip to Gatlinburg, Tennessee for a family wedding.
I did just want to keep this post short as I'm sure every one had a busy weekend full of family gatherings and cook outs!
I want to take the time out to honor those who have served in the Military and for those serving our country now. Thank you! These times on the world are scary.
My nephew, whom I went to visit in Colorado, is in the Army and is deployed right now.
I am thankful that I get to keep in touch with him and will soon be sending him a Chicago themed care package. I have uncles and friends who have served and are serving as well and want to take this time out to appreciated them too.

Thank you to all our military men and women, for those who have served and for those still actively serving. The load of this country can't be easy to carry everyday and it's important to know that you are loved, appreciated and acknowledged!
Happy Memorial Day everyone! I hope that you spent it with lots of love and with family surrounding you! Some families do not have that same privilege.
