Today, I am grateful that I’m a nominee over at the Homeschool Blog Awards. I’ve been nominated in the Best Homemaking Blog category.

Happy Veteran’s Day 2010
Posted in Holidays, and Military Life
Over the years, Veteran’s Day has meant different things to me. When I was younger, I didn’t completely understand the significance. Once D joined the Corps, my understanding started to significantly grow. His first deployment lead to a deeper understanding. During the next deployment, he was actually gone for Veteran’s Day. It was then that the meaning of it all truly sank in. I sat there on the computer putting together a Veteran’s Day post to honor all of the veterans. I looked at pictures from war after war. Thoughts rolled through my mind ~ honor, courage, commitment ~ freedom…

I am grateful for all of the Marines – past, present, and future. I am grateful for the brotherhood that they share; the bond that keeps my husband safe when he deploys.

Trip to Sea World Part 2

I am so grateful for companies who offer special discounts for military members and their families. We were able to go to Sea World San Diego for free. Yes, we still had to pay $12 for parking, but that was our only cost. We just had to show our military ids at the gate, and we received complimentary tickets for the day. At the different shows, they had the military members stand up to be recognized and thanked for their service. Since I’m proud of our men and women in uniform, I enjoy seeing all the service members being recognized…
Trip to Sea World Part 1
Posted in Family, Homeschooling, and Outdoor Adventures
We had told Munchkin that once she completed her Marine Biology class that we would head to Sea World. Sadly, she finished some time ago, but things seemed to keep us from heading over there. Finally, we just decided that we were going and went. We’re a little less than 3 hours from Sea World, so we decided that we would just drive over in the morning and head back at night. When the headaches hit last week, I was concerned that we wouldn’t be able to go, but I woke up Saturday morning with a very minor headache. Off…
