27 Days of Thankful Days 9 & 10

I have a really hard time blogging daily huh?

Day 9 - I am thankful for powdered soup mixes like onion beef or vegetable, they add so much pep and flavor to simple dishes and the vegetable soup mix is AWESOME for spinach dip.

Day 10 - I am thankful for all of the Marines that have served, are serving, and will serve this great nation of ours. I am thankful for the Marines that have fallen fighting for what they believe in, fighting so that my family, friends, and strangers may continue to enjoy the freedom and security that we have today. It is because of Marines and the job that they do that we don't live in a war torn nation and that I am able to share my opinions with the world.

Happy Birthday Marines!

Go check out Amanda and see what everyone else is thankful for.

Good list. :) My sister serves as a nurse in the AF and her husband flies Black Hawks for the Army (he'll be deployed again soon), so I am thankful for all branches these days. Thanks for linking up! :)

I also like to visit Four Ribbons   and get my craft on. This is my Marine, he fights for freedom. That is HOT.   This is Madelyn.  She is three and keeps me on my toes and sometimes renders me speechless.  So now that you know a little more about me, please link up so we all can get to know you! Oh and since we are all linked to the military somehow, you know there are rules.  Don't worry, they're super easy and fun! Link-up your favorite post from this past week with the little linky guy below. Yep that's it. Now, please, go, mingle, and leave some bloggy lov

Can't wait

On holidays I think forward to how they will be when we have our own child. I think of what my parents did with and for us and imagine doing those same things for my own child. It's the small day to day things that shape us into what we are. In our house, Valentines Day was never about romantic love, even though Mom and Dad obviously loved each other and did things for one another. It was always about love, family love, friendly love, the love that encompasses us daily. It was a day where we got a red heart filled with chocolate, a box of conversation hearts, those heart jawbreakers, and cute card. Nanna always sent us a Valentines Day card - ALWAYS arriving on Valentines Day. Nanna had great timing with her cards - perfect timing. Mom always got the larger Whitmans Sampler Box and all of the kids would take turns picking what we wanted from what mom didn't care for (and sometimes what she was really saving for later because it was her favorite). Daddy got red hots. Tho
