Ruthless

I've heard that it's St. Patrick's Day. Let's talk about that for a second. First, let me say that I had no idea. Everyday is the same here and holidays just aren't what they used to be when I was home. The only reason for celebrating usually is because Nick loves the festivities, but without him, there isn't much to celebrate. Second, I did some reading and realized I really had no idea what St. Patrick's Day was REALLY about. I won't go into it all, because you all can, obviously, read it yourselves if you want. Maybe I'm being ignorant, but I just like the idea of dressing up my handsome son in green (he looks great in all colors really).

see!!?!! :)
Also I was going to say something a long time ago about commenting on my own Blog. At first, I wasn't going to, and I still haven't (as of this second) but I have noticed there are enough from all of your guys that I feel like I should respond just so you all know that I'm reading them and appreciating them. So, that's what I'll do from now on.

To the Iraq Grind... I recently got moved to a new section, which I couldn't be more excited about. I work with some amazing people and it's a ton of fun. I'm now a designated driver for an MRAP...it's still a little intimidating to drive, but honestly, it's so beefed up and amazing, I feel pretty ruthless about it. Here's a picture of one I took a while ago. Not even one of ours, but I'll get some pics up of me lookin all hardcore soon enough. I will probably throw in some pictures of the people in my new section sooner than later, if I can get them to act semi normal for a picture. :)

Well, that's all I have for now. I'll keep you posted on all the exciting adventures of my deployment. pfft.

  1. So where exactly do you drive in that beast of a vehicle?? I'm jealous that you get to drive it, but also worried... thats not a "lets go to the store and get milk and eggs" kinda ride....

  2. It's one on the safest vehicles around. And you're right, no "milk and eggs" kinda ride, but something close to that. :)

  3. I was wondering what the rules were about commenting on your own blog. I'm glad that you decided to do it, for the reasons you stated. It makes me feel like you are paying attention, and care, and appreciate that I take such an interest in your life :) I wish other people would comment on theirs. Or maybe I will just stop.
    Love you.
