Since I haven’t posted anything to my blog in a long time, what a better time to post than on Britin’s birthday.
Once again, due to another deployment, I will miss another year of Birthdays, Holidays, and Anniversaries. You would think that since I’ve missed so many significant events in my family’s life this would get easier. However, it seems to only get harder as more and more pass by.
Today, my beautiful bride reaches her mid 30’s (It’s never wise to reveal a woman’s true age). Although neither one of us feels as if we are in our mid-30’s we have the scorecard that proves we are:
Married: check – 14 years
Kids: check – 2, one a teenager
Saving for the kids college fund – check (they may be going to community college)
Lived in 9 different houses in 14 years – check – Thank you Uncle Sam
Britin you may be getting biologically older, but you are still young at heart and your boundless energy is contagious. I look forward to being home next year and spending it with you.
Even though I can’t be there with Britin, I was still able to have a birthday party for here at FOB Fenty. I know it’s not the same but at least it’s a celebration. At the dining facility ice cream is available at lunch and dinner (thank you American tax payers), and since I know how much Britin enjoys ice cream, I figured in her honor I would force myself to have some.
