Day 14: Something you are looking forward to..

A short term excitement is definitely June 23rd the day my husband comes home from his National Guard annual training! I'm excited to see him :) So is baby Abigail. Unfortunately he isn't home for his first Fathers Day but that's such as life...military life that is. 

A long term thing I'm looking forward to is getting a house. Steve starts his correctional officer job on the 24th of this month and we will finally be on the track to getting a house! No more apartment living. I hate the city.

Memorial Day Thanks

Today we honor those who have given the ultimate sacrifice. The fallen men and women who gave their life for our freedom. To the men and women in which every day is Memorial Day. We honor those who left behind family, friends, children, and spouses because they chose to put our country first. For today would not be today if these men and women did not fight for our great nation. Not a cookout, parade, or fireworks will bring them back to us. But today we remember their braveness, courage, and selflessness.

So take some time today after all the madness and summer festivities to remind yourself and your family why we have no work today. Take some time to admire our heroes, because that is what each and every single one of them are..

Great thanks goes out to each soldier, each marine, sailor, and airman that serves in our country's armed forces. 

God bless America. Our great nation.
