Adoption Day

Well this has been such a wonderful visit!!!  5 weeks of pure bliss with my cute little family!!!  Mark has adopted the girls and now I am happy to say that we are all official BARBER'S!!!!  Words cannot express just how much I love this Man!!!  He has healed our hearts in a way that I didnt think  was possible. I am so glad that we only have a year and a half to go then we will get to be together all of the time....well most of the time that is....when he is not deployed.  I am so glad that we found eachother...and yes after 3 years together next month I still get butterflies everytime I see him and my heart skips a beat when I hear his voice.

Christmas

Well finally my sister got to meet Mark...the only one in my family that hadnt met him yet.  The kids LOVED uncle Mark..love the picture of him with all the kids!!!

Ok well since Mark wasnt going to be here for Christmas the girls had decided to wait and celebrate when we got home from our trip. This for a child I know is a huge deal especially when you are as young as they are.  It was so great to finally have Christmas as a family....just the start of a lot of firsts to come!!!

Honeymoon

Ok so since Mark wasnt going to make it home for Christmas or for New Years I decided to go to him...kinda like a belated Honeymoon.  I flew into London Thursday before New Years and I got to spend 9 awesome days alone in England with my husband.  We got to see Stonehenge, Tower Bridge, Big Ben, the eye of London, Buckingham Palace, Kensington Palace, Westminster Abbey, Trafalgar Square and the train station where Harry Potter was filmed.   And we got to go see Les Mes...what an amazing play!!!  It was so nice to finally have just some alone time and feel like we are a married couple.
