"Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up. It is always tired in the morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired."- U.S. Army General George S. Patton & 1912 Olympian

Every day is a VACATION!!

WOO HOO!! Today marks 1 week in our new home at West Point. It started to snow this morning around 6am. Everything has been transformed into a beautiful winter wonderland! We are still unpacking & trying to get settled. There's nothing better than sleeping in your own bed & making a house feel like a home. A home where you can trully relax & take a deep breath. It is this feeling that brought me to a state of personal reflection. I am very thankful to have 3 gorgeous children, a loving husband & very supportative parents & siblings! I love you all.
This morning I have been busy loading my library cabinets with photo albums & photo books. I couldn't help but stop & look at the 1000's of photos we have over the last 13 years. I realized we live as if we are on vacation everyday! What a wonderful way to live. I treasure every minute our family has shared together and the collection of memories we have built. I love looking back over the many milestones the children have made, every adventure we have had together, and all the special people in our lives!! I would like to think of life as an extended vacation!
