For our Troops

My mom sent me an e-mail that had a link to send our troops a card of thanks for what they are doing. It is so easy to forget that our fellow Americans are still over seas fighting for Freedom. Whether or not you believe they are there for the right reasons they are still there going through Hell on Earth everyday. I think we all should take the 2 mins it takes to pick our a card that a child has drawn to send them encouragement for what they are doing for this country.



Thank you Xerox for allowing us to be able to support our troops.
Lets say thanks

Bombs and Silver Stars

My dad sent me an e-mail this morning that told a courageous tale about a man who fought in Vietnam and save the life of his platoon, who went into battles without helmets. Single handed he fought of a band of enemy soldiers to near decimation before the rest of his platoon could show up. He fought off gun fire, grenades, and a close encounter with an AK-47. He did all this when he was 19 years old. To read the whole humble and amazing story you can read it here.

I know this blog seems a bit random. But I am sharing this tale with you because this man is my Uncle's brother, and he was awarded a silver star for combat in Vietnam. Most men didn't make it out of that war, and a lot who did were not the same. This man came back and was humble about his heroic deeds.

When I was at Stacie's house yesterday her dad jokingly said to me that she was going to marry a guy would would score lower on the quiz that she had on her blog then she did. Well I was very curious to what this quiz was, and so I took it for fun.

Check out my results:

Ok, so from this quiz I learned that machines and I don't get along, but that I spent a lot of time paying attention to my Dad as a kid, or that I am a real Country Girl. I am going with the first assumption, thanks Dad.

In Love...

I know I am a Hopeless Romantic, but I know its going to be worth it <3

Dear Sister

I love Andy Samburg. If you don't know who he is, he is an actor from SNL who made a bunch of Digital Shorts. Today I was listening to Imogen Heap's Hide and Seek song and it reminded me of the Digital short with Andy and Shia Lebouf. It is hands down the funniest Digital Short Andy has ever made. I looked all over the internet to watch it again, but I couldn't find it anywhere. All the links had been deleted or no longer existed. I even looked on Hulu which has a ton of SNL skits, and nothing. So if anyone out there finds the Dear Sister video, PLEASE let me know.

And so I leave you with another funny Digital short. Its a golden oldie that put Andy on the map of awesomeness.
