Today we took some time to drive to Quantico National Cemetery to visit Bre's dad's grave and leave some flowers...
It was a nice time, and the cemetery is so beautiful (I know it sounds weird to say that a cemetery is beautiful) but military cemeteries are so full of history and honor that it can be a beautiful thing.
Since we're getting married on what would be Bre's father's 69th birthday, we wanted to make sure we got to go down and pay our respects before our big day and his birthday. We hope he's smiling down on us and will be a good source of strength for Bre on her big day! I know she'll be missing him dearly, and there will be some bittersweet moments.
Here are some of the pictures I took while Bre was walking around...

We also know that Jim (bre's dad) was definitely smiling and laughing when we got back to the car and saw what our dog Mocha had gotten into...In the several minutes we spent outside of the car, Mocha had managed to bite about 80% through Bre's driver side seat-belt. Luckily, we have repaired it with heavy duty nylon thread and hours or sewing, but her little teeth are sharp! We were really mad, but had to laugh...because...well, life's too short not to!
Anyway...it was a nice day! 5 more til our wedding day...crazy
