Another Birthday missed .....

Ok so I did not forget but give me a break... I am doing pretty good with all that I am up to without my dear husband.... another recap I did not mention.
He turned 41 on September 10.... he called early in the morning and we all sang him Happy Birthday. He mentioned he would eta whatever he wanted on his big day. Upon our evening call... he indeed ate everything. I did not think it was possible, but the man ate every dessert around. I am sure the Chaplain had to lock his storage chest of goodies he has to hand out. :)

On September 11, 2011... many people were praying and having remembrances of where they were 10 years ago. It was on this day in 2001 that our country went to war. It is why my husband is not home with his family today. WOW... can you believe ten years and we still have service members fighting a war. The same war, sometimes it makes me wonder where the woman leaders of the world are... I kinda think we would not be so nice nor would  we be patient. I know I have had enough of this battle. I am sure others feel the same. I am ready to bring our troops home so they can celebrate what they did accomplish over the last 10 years. I do not think this is a war where one side wins and the other loses. It is a war where we measure how safe we have made our home.... so far.... I have yet to see another attack as brutal as September 11, 2001. Good Job Troops!!! I think it is time to come home now!!!!

I mentioned that many were praying and sharing stories.... me,  I was celebrating. I was celebrating my oldest turning 15 years old. He is so grown up and so handsome... yes I am biased. He had friends over the night before to hang out and on Sunday we chilled and had cake. We celebrated and laughed... and once again.... DAD MISSED IT!!!!  Sorry but he so owes us big time.... even though I get it.. I get the cause he is fighting.... nope still gonna give him crap about missing another event. I live for the ability to hold this over his head when he is home and we want to do something that he may not want to. I pull this card out that says... you owe us!!!!! :) I am happy to say... he laughs as we joke about the missed events. He knows he has no say in what we do as his make up event.


Bill---- be ready to make up a lot of missed events when you come home. I seriously doubt you will have time to sleep.... better get it in while fighting a war. :)
Keep your helmet and flak on.... if not for yourself, for us so we can have the privilege of torturing you for all the missed events.

Love ya!!!!
