Birthdays!!

Well its that time of year again I am another year older (well I will be in a couple of hours). I was not expecting anything from David as he said he had limited access to cards. I woke up to a very nice e-card this afternoon, my first birthday card :) In a way he will be here with me helping me celebrate. Unfortunately he will be gone for his birthday as well, I am still trying to put together some things to send off to him. Still not sure what I am going to send, but peanut butter cookies will def be included.
This weekend will mark 2mos of the deployment, only 5more to go-its been hard, I have been trying to keep as busy as possible. I have been going to the gym and have been feeling great. Next week will be hard, I am heading down to FL for a much needed break but I will still be able to talk to him if he has time (email and yahoo messenger).
Happy Birthday to my little buddy Dallin!! I hope you have a great day, miss you guys :)

Military Appreciation Week!!!!

Its Military Appreciation Week!! I have the utmost respect for our brave men and women who serve in our military. They make such a sacrifice so we that we can live in this fine country.
I have a hard time seeing so many people disrespecting these fine men and women, many of whom have made the ultimate sacrifice defending our freedom.
My mom found this cute poem while volunteering at the USMC Museum and have always liked it:
" We stole the eagle from the Air Force; the anchor from the Navy; the rope from the Army and on the seventh day when God rested we overran His perimeter and have been running the show ever since. USMC."

You have got to love the Marines!! Oorraahh

Please keep David and his soldiers in your thoughts and prayers...the flu is going around right now and they are all pretty miserable. Working around the clock does not help either.
