We have some changes going on right now at the McGray house.
My husband, Bill is deploying this weekend for Iraq.
Yesterday was the farewell ceremony for the Company. Bill did a great job speaking to his unit and the turn out was wonderful.
I have some pictures to add to the blog later today but, for now, I found one of the video clips from the local news.
This one is kinda fun since all of us are on it. So dang-gone proud of Bill and the little man did a great job being interviewed too.

Just what "PinkTomato" said "it takes a strong man to join the military. it takes a stronger woman to let him go." God bless you, my friend! xoxoxo
I had no idea you're husband was leaving. It's the worst watching them go isn't it? I'm here for you if you need someone to whine about being alone with. Been there, got that T-shirt. It's too small mind you, but I have one ; ) Bless you guys! (This is Ruth. I can't ever sign in??)
Kimber, Keeping you and your family in my thoughts. Big thanks to your husband for protecting our country.
