4th of July is one of my favorite holidays! It's a great summer holiday to enjoy your family, friends, and great food and drinks! Since I just had a baby, we decided to spend the day at home, cook out, and relax.
Today, I am appropriately wearing MAC's Brave Red Lipstick. This is one of my must have red lipsticks. It is a slightly muted red with a cremesheen finish.
On a personal note, this picture was taken on July 4, 2009. My husband had just returned from his deployment. Here he is, getting his first snuggle from our son who had grown 7 months since he had last held him. As my husband is scheduled to deploy again and our second son is 3 weeks old today, I am sure to have another photo like this around Memorial Day 2013.
I would just like to take the time to thank all the men and women who have dedicated a day, a year, their career, or their life to keeping us save in the land of the free.
How are you celebrating today?
I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday. Please be responsible and stay safe!
Stay Beautiful!!
Kristen

Beautiful lips & beautiful family! I'm a Military wife as well & stay at home mom & deployments are definitely tough! I'm always so amazed & proud of our troops and of (us) the families they leave for such long periods of time. So much courage & strength! God bless! XO
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! Are you originally from Canada or the US? You are so right! It really is a hard job for the families who are left behind. My husband always says regardless of his mission, my job at home is way harder. I'm so glad to connect with another military wife on here!
