Family Friday

It has been a very busy July and August for the Franklin's. John spent a few weeks one country, came home for two whole days, then left again for another country for a month. He will come home at the end of the month, then 2 days later we will fly to Texas for a week for my mom's wedding. He has been working non-stop and I have taken on way too many things! I am working part-time (luckily), still going to school, and am now on the executive board for the Marine Officer's Spouses Club. It is quite intimidating being on the board with the wives of VERY high ranking Marines, includes 3 Generals' wives. But everyone seems very nice, it will definitely be an interesting experience! I am the editor of the newsletter and website administrator. You can check out my work at http://www.moscokinawa.org/.
Anyway, with all of that going on, I haven't had much time for the fun stuff that we usually post on here. So I am going to do a short Friday series: Family Friday, Friend Friday, and Flashback Friday. I sort of took my friend Jessica's Flashback Friday idea and ran with it! I hope you enjoy some of the pictures I have dug up! They are just in random order.
So here we go with some pictures of our fabulous family!
John and his dad having a little fun in the pool!

















My two younger brothers giving me some love before the wedding!















John's family braving the bitter cold while we watched John hard at work telling pilots where to drop bombs in the middle of the Nevada desert!.














All of the girls in John's family took a trip to L.A. to give his cousin a surprise baby shower! We had such a blast that weekend!
