thank you veterans

on my way out the door yesterday morning, something in the news captured my attention. i wasn't sure i would be able to fit it into my jam-packed day...especially since it was scheduled to end at 5 p.m. and i had to work until 4:30. so, immediately after work i hustled home as fast as legally possible, asked alissa to snatch my camera from my bureau and together we headed to the naples pier.




after witnessing the sight of those crosses on the beach...we were both moved beyond words and felt so grateful that we arrived in the nick of time.




and that sunset...it was like god presented our veterans with a special thank-you of his own.
