Okay, so I'm excited!  Gary's retirement party is tonight....it's going to be a good one!  There are many individuals that span Gary's thirty years with the Federal Government who will be in attendance and, of course, family and friends.  It will be so neat to watch, listen and simply "drink in" all the information/stories that will be shared concerning my precious husband.  Gary is one that doesn't like the limelight, but tonight the stage is set for him to be the focal point....he's feeling a bit uncomfortable, but he'll live!

So, here we go....an afternoon and evening of fun times, making memories and the time to start with an entirely different kind of clean slate.  This next week we depart for Florida for a little break....another phase of life, another dream to make reality and another occasion to thank God for being so good to us.  May God gain all the glory, honor and praise in our new phase of life and may each breath we breathe show others our love for Jesus.  God bless!
