A Very Special Announcement


As most of you know, I have one son who is absolutely the light of my life.  He is everything I ever hoped for and has grown into a phenomenal young man.  Matthew is currently serving in the United States Army.  He enlisted after graduation from Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas.  He is scheduled to be deployed to the United Arab Emirates sometime this year.

Last weekend, he proposed to a very lovely lady, Alison McPhee, and she accepted!  Ali is currently completing her Master's Degree at Texas A&M and will graduate in August.  She is everything I have prayed for as the perfect soul mate for my son.

Matt and Ali have a bright future ahead of them.  I am so excited to be able to witness and share in their journey together.
