Well, I am long overdue, aren't I? Well, that's because I have a really boring life! Not much going on right now. Looking for a job, and rather impatiently awaiting the return of my husband. (They were told that the quality of the job they are doing is the best they have seen, and I heard from someone in a high up place that they are making quite the reputation for themselves.) I am proud of my Soldier, but I wish they would just let them all come home. But what wife doesn't....oh yeah, the ones that are having affairs...that would be them. Luckily I haven't heard of any wife of our group doing that...thank God. Talk about a sticky situation for a home coming. Speaking of all this...ever wonder why TV shows paint the wives/fiances/girlfriends in such a light that they are all having affairs and stealing their husbands money and lying around drunk and high? Pisses me off. I mean come on...I don't go out and find guys to replace my man...and they have enough to worry about without all that Schiesse. But I digress.

I went to visit my father in law and his wife. They are so good to me. They took me to a gun show...which was AWESOME...and yes, I like guns...GO NRA!! And my father in law took me to the shooting range. It felt good to shoot those little paper targets...and I think that with a little practice I could be very, very good with a handgun. I am just fortunate that my father taught me to shoot when I was younger.Thank God for people who hunt and teach their kids! Anyways...Still pray for my husband. I miss him like crazy and his missions just seem to get longer every time and I don't get to speak to him as much. God Bless all our troops!!
