And there are lots of good things.

Good things? <br /><br />*How about that I just made it back from a trip across the country without getting my butt shot off? Definitely a good thing! <br /><br />*How about the fact that Game Master just got his progress report and is getting all A's except for one B in German? I am so proud of him!<br /><br />*How about that I have a wonderful husband who, in my absence, takes care of my boys like his own? I am so blessed!<br /><br />*How about that my Mom has moved closer to my children? She really is an awesome Nana!<br /><br />*How about the fact that I have so many people in my family that love me that I look forward to coming home to? Yes, we all have our quirks, but we are a funny, giving, caring, dysfunctional, crazy bunch, but we all love each other.<br /><br />*How about the fact that we are from a great country where we have the ability to bathe and eat whenever we want to? You haven't been sad until you've seen a 4 year old boy sprint from his tent to the side of the road, covered in dirt, put his hand to his mouth begging the troops for food. I could go on, but I am so grateful to be a fortunate US citizen born and raised!<br /><br />*How about the fact that I have made life-long friendships because of the Army? From Janile at home to my roommate who always has a smile on her face to my battle buddy who teaches me everything I ever wanted and needed to know about being the Infantry part of an Infantry Princess. I cannot imagine my life without them in it!<br /><br />*How about the fact that I try (and fail most days) to serve an awesome God. God has provided me with so much to be thankful for! Thank you for reminding me...<br /><br />I love and miss you so much!Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04882668673944008156noreply@blogger.com
