There are many things that I have become tired with over this deployment, and many things that I have realized. Being a military family is one of the hardest things to be. To constantly worry, not know and miss someone is exhausting. No one can fully understand what it is like unless you have lived it.
What I have also realized is how forgotten our military members can become. Every day, a soldier dies overseas or at home and yet where are they in the news. Recently a high profile singer passed away. Yes, he was a great entertainer and singer, however he was also just that. He didn't do anything to better society or give his life so that others could have a better one. I am so sick of hearing about him.
He passed away on June 25, but so did 1st Lt Brian Bradshaw. Did anyone hear about him in the news? No, instead, this entertainer was covered by the media 24/7 and a TRUE American hero was never heard about. What a disgrace. What kind of country do we live in? A city spent 4 million to remember an entertainer, and yet how much was spent on the funeral of this 1st Lt, and American HERO? Below is a message from his Aunt that puts it into perspective. God bless 1Lt Bradshaw and his family. Thank you for your service and I am so sorry for your loss.
A TRUE American Hero

Blogging hasn't been as fun because I have really been slack on posting comments. I need to just put a reminder on my calendar to make sure I read what's going on.
They finally found out that Michael Jackson died of food poisoning....he ate a 12 year old weiner.
Anyway, were trying to move into our new place...internet is working but no TV. No dogs either. I think Courtney falls in love with a different breed of dog every week. Give us a call anytime...especially Courtney. Her days consist of stalking people on the internet and calling me a lot at work. Oh you gotta listen to the latest thing she found on the net. Some crazy lady in the sheriff's office who apparently has slept with everyone in law enforcement...same woman went to Falkland to talk about gang related violence. The only gangs she knew about were her 7 guy friends. HAHA.
Oh one last thing. I had to use a floppy disk today to transfer some files...when was the last time you had to do that?
Kelly -- please come knock some sense into my husband!!!
Dubis'!!! I can't wait to see what you've done with the new place, and Gabe you are as crazy as ever.
You better start reading! I am going to post one here about my running soon - and you aren't going to like it! I have been slacking, but I am hoping that's all behind me.
Miss you guys!
