Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty, well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming --WHEW-- What a Ride!!!" -Author unknown

Citizen Soldier
So, I went to family day with John to learn why he's an army of one. I was able to play in the simulator while humming the National Guard theme song. I learned his job isn't as hard as he thinks it is. I blew up 1 BMP-2 (whatever that is) and killed numerous terrorists (civilians...the computer made it very unclear)and had a great time. Then we ate barbecue. It was a good time. I still don't want him going to Iraq but at least he's confined to a huge canister of metal with guns. That will probably be the only family day I go to since he's leaving. I want a simulator for my birthday.
Quote of the Day: "Yeah, I went hunting once. Shot a deer in the leg. Had to kill it with a shovel. Took about an hour. Why do you ask?" -Michael Scott

rachael, this looks like it was a lot of fun! maybe not quite as much as forging new trails through the woods with horses that hate water... but fun nontheless :-)

And John thinks his job his hard.... Ha! Looks like a piece of cake to me. :)
That second picture of you is really good Rachael. I was going to get you a tank for Christmas but decided to get you a can of Carolina Blue paint instead so that you can redecorate John's house while he's gone.

I just bought Carolina blue paint for the sun room floor. John said it's ok because we will be walking on it.
i'll be sure to play in the mud before i come walking in on that floor.....
