Happy Memories Are Worth More than Diamonds...

Yesterday we had Jason's family over for the day and for dinner. We had the BEST time-I don't think I've been to a happier family gathering in my life! This holiday season is sure to be the best yet! We are all very excited for this Thanksgiving especially because Jason's brother Marco will be with us. He's a Marine and has been stationed in Japan. He will be leaving for duty in Iraq right before Christmas for a seven month tour. We will all be praying for his safe return. He'll be here for about one month, so we hope to see a lot of him! Having everyone back together again will be even better than yesterday-which is really hard to imagine. It's so relieving to have a happy memory that I can store up in my mind and keep forever-and many to look forward to in the future. Relationships and memories are the most precious of treasures.
