My Son Is Married

Two weeks ago today my son Stephen married a really nice young woman from Colorado named Hilary Harris (now Hilary Sneed). Who would have thunk it from Stephen? We wish them all the best. I know now he has his eyes turned towards his upcoming deployment to Iraq in August. I wish him health, safety, a happy marriage and a quick return from Iraq under only the best of circumstances.

It just goes to show no matter how old they get they can still surprise me. LOL
