Good morning, friends!  Today I am very blessed....it's my husband, Gary's, birthday.  The man of my dreams, my own personal blessing from God, Gary Anthony White.  We've been married for 29 years and Gary turns the double nickels today.  He has been such a blessing to my life and he's the greatest father ever.  Just ask my kids. 

Today he can officially retire from the Department of Energy, but he will continue working until the end of the year.  We can't believe the time has finally come for our schedules to lighten up and start off in a new direction.  We look forward to a Christmas family vacation and then head to warmer temperatures for a while this winter. 

Gary has expressed a desire to do more hands on mission work and also to get involved in activties that his schedule today doesn't permit.  We are praying that God continues to give us both good health so we can make a difference and spread the blessings God has given us to others.

So, happy birthday my precious husband.  May we enjoy many more years of celebrations together and may God prepare our journey from this year forward to help others come to know Him.  I love you!
