HAPPY 234th BIRTHDAY to the United States Marine Corps! And Happy Veteran's Day to all of our esteemed veterans in all branches of service! Thank you for what you do for us all and God bless you and your families. Then following is long but well worth the read if you have a Marine in your life! To know the Corps is to love the Corps, which is why Marine Corps Times compiled the following list of 232 reasons to stand proudly at this year’s birthday ball. 1. Cpl. Jason Dunham. First Marine to receive the Medal of Honor since Vietnam. If jumping on a grenade to save a buddy isn’t worth the top of the list, nothing is. 2. Civilians have to find time to go to the gym. Marines get paid to go. 3. The National Museum of the Marine Corps. It’s like a Smithsonian of leatherneck. 4. There’s no such thing as an “ex” Marine. 5. Re-enlistment rates are higher IN the war zone. 6. Stink-proof socks. Well, almost. Systems Command is working on them. 7. ...

How did so much time pass since the last time I was here? We are all doing okay. Eric and I are both still in school and doing well. Landon is growing like a weed. There is a photo of Landon, I and my boyfriend dressed up for Halloween at the bottom of this post. I am keeping all the families involved in the Ft. Hood shooting in my prayers and I hope everyone else that prays is too. That particular incident touched too close to home for me. Dan DeCrow, a local Vietnam Vet that has spent many years locally helping returning veterans of all services lost his son, Staff Sgt. Justin DeCrow in that shooting.

Dan has many health problems and was taken to the local VA hospital last night. Please say a special prayer for him and his family. I am just praying right now that he gets well ...

It's been a long time since I logged in here but I think the time has come to start blogging again. What's happening in my life you may wonder? Well, I started school for my degree in CIS:Database Management the first of June and even though the classes are doubled in the summer semester (8 weeks instead of the 16 weeks for other semesters) I am maintaining a 3.9 GPA. I did make the mistake of taking three classes (two are considered a full load in the summer semester) so I am having to work my butt off to get everything done but it is getting done. Eric started school at ITT the same time I did. He is going for his Bachelor's Degree in Electronic Engineering. He is also maintaining an perfect GPA. Landon is now almost 10 months old and he is learning SO much every day. If you want to see video of him you can see it here at my Magix site. Video of Landon Patty is planning on starting general classes at the same ...
