The post that I was just about to publish was to tell you all that
May 11th was Liberty’s birthday
and
yesterday {the 12th} was our sweet daughter-in-loves birthday.
Two days in a row we get to honor two precious girls.
Yesterday morning, Sarah had skyped me just to visit.
So fun to have coffee with my daughter-in-love on her birthday!
We chatted about everything, while I made breakfast
{as we were hanging up I realized we’d been talking
for an hour and 40 minutes!}
The pancakes I was making
{with ground almonds inside}
sounded so yummy to her that she made
some as we continued to talk.
{Is Skype the best or what?}
We talked about kitchen colors and she googled images
and emailed them to me…
so stinkin’ fun to look at stuff “together” separated
by about a 17 hour drive.
It is amazing to me to have this daughter, knowing that before Tyler was even in our arms I began to pray for her. She is indeed, a treasure and so well suited to that son of ours.
We love her soooo much!!
She makes many sacrifices on behalf of the freedom of our nation being the spouse of a milit*ry man.
The times he has been away serving have not been easy.
Their car was stolen one time.
Her wallet was stolen another.
Her dad had cancer surgery another.
All while her husband protects our nation.

Anyway, today we will honor this sweet girl of ours. So many of you have told me that you pray for her and him, so if you’d like to wish her a {belated} happy birthday –
I’ll tell her to read the comments!!
I’m sure she’ll be tickled to know you care!
Happy Birthday both of you!!! 🙂
what a beautiful pic! We sure do appreciate the sacrifice both of you are making!
Happy Birthday Sarah! Tyler is so blessed to have you as his loving and supportive wife! Blessings to you in the coming year.
Happy Birthday to both of your sweet girls! We are adopting our first two children from Uganda, & I love getting to "know" your family through this blog. What a treasure!
Happy Birthday Sarah. It's so neat to read about this special relationship you have with your mother-in-love. Hope your day is perfect.
That was so up-lifiting!–the relationship with your daughter-in-law sounds beautiful. I will start praying now for my son's future wives. I have no daughters and the thought of a daughter-in-law scares me. I've never seen a real close relationship between them. SO glad she is so wonderful for your son and for your family … and for you 🙂
Happy Birthday Sarah!!:) Praying God's richest blessings on you in the coming year!
Happy Birthday Sarah and Liberty. God's blessings to you both. Thank you Sarah for loving you soldier and hang it there in the tough times when Tyler is deployed. It's a blessing to have caring people still wanting to serve God and country. Hugs to you all!
Oh, my goodness, that picture is so good, and your daughter in law is gorgeous!!! Happy birthday, Sarah!
I stumbled across your blog a few days ago, and I already feel touched by what amazing people you are. Happy Birthday to 2 of your amazing daughters. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
Happy Birthday Sarah!!! 🙂 May God bless you, my dear!
Happy Birthday Sarah! I am the mom to 4 boys (and 1 more waiting in China), and I pray that my boys will find the special girl God has chosen for them someday.I hope and pray for a close relationship with them…like you and your MIL have. You (and all our military spouses) are an inspiration. We(my family) thank you for your sacrifices for our country.We keep our military men and women, and their spouses/families, in our daily prayers. I hope it was a terrific day!
Happy Birthday Sarah! Hope you had a wonderful day!

Happy Birthday, Sarah! The wedding photos are beautiful! I personally want to thank you and your husband for the sacrifice you make while Tyler is defending the freedom we all take for granted! As I lay in my cozy bed on my smart phone, husband and children safely tucked away…I will pray for safety for our troops. God Bless you and your family!!
P.S. We have really grown fond and come to love your whole family over the last year:) I am very glad God and you have allowed us to be a part of it all!
Happy Birthday Sarah! I have been where you are in the deployment cycle and I can understand. Everything seems to happen when your sweetie's away.
Hope you have a very happy birthday!
