Those of you who know me probably realize how I feel about our nation's military. Considering that the love of my life is in the Marines and getting ready to deploy....yeah. But even before that, I've always felt that the men and women who are willing to put themselves in harm's way for our country and our freedom deserve a hell of a lot more respect and thanks than what they get. Anyway, this post just came about because somebody emailed me a link to a "thank your military" video, and it got me feeling a little bit mushy-gushy.
So this is dedicated to everyone out there that is serving or has served in any branch of this great nation's military. You are appreciated, loved, and prayed for every day. There are people in the country that realize how much you sacrifice, how much you suffer, for us to feel safe. And it truly is because of you that we can live each day without worry. So to all our soldiers and veterans... THANK YOU! :)

sucker-punched
Today's my birthday. I have to admit, it started off as what could very possibly be the best one yet. Last night, I had Mexican with M, N, A, and RA... It was lots of fun, laughter, yummy food, and 2 for 1 margaritas. I didn't even mind when they LOUDLY sang happy birthday to me (twice, I might add) and smeared whipped cream on my face. After all, that is the custom at Mexican restaurants, and we did it to RA last time even though it wasn't her birthday. That was a fun night too. :) Coming home from that fabulously fun night out, I talked to B on the phone for ONE WHOLE HOUR! That's a pretty big deal for us, and it alone probably could have made my week.
This morning, I woke up in a good mood (which was a first in like 2 weeks), and of course Momma had strawberry muffins made. It's part of our tradition, along with dinner out. Tonight it's Bonefish Grill. I've never been there, but I've heard it's amazing. It was a great morning. So great, in fact, that I didn't even mind being at school at 8 AM for histo lecture. And THAT, if you don't know me, is a very big deal. Histo sucks. Fortunately, and another plus in my "happy birthday to me" column, today is the very last histo lecture/lab ever in the history of ever for me! All in all, as you might can tell, it's been a wonderful birthday so far.
Of course, it nevers fails that with some happiness there has to be a shadow of sadness as well. I learned this morning that a friend of mine from high school lost her boyfriend in a tragic accident. This news hit me like a sucker-punch... A shock back to reality on a day that I had been floating on cloud nine. It's always hard to lose someone, but especially someone so young and so suddenly. Please pray for comfort, solace, and healing for his family, Kristy, and their little baby girl during this hard time.

Oh Neuro...
So today was our first test day from Hades this quarter. 3 tests in one day. WOW. It was something else for sure. But after a week straight of studying, I'm definitely enjoying a night of relaxing with my two favorite girls, M and N. :) Good food, old movies, and some much needed relaxation... What more could a girl ask for?
And on another side of life, B is moving to his new squadron today. I know I should be happy for him, and I am. It's what he's always wanted, and he's so excited about it that it's kind of cute. But on the other hand, it just kind of sucks. I liked him being nondeployable and knowing that he would always be safe. And granted, a boat to Japan isn't really that dangerous either, but he's going to be so far away. I don't know what to expect from this, and trying to deal with it while I'm going through school at the same time is just plain going to suck. Oh well. Let's cross that bridge when we come to it. I'm going back to The Mighty Ducks now. :)
