I've never really thought of my family as "Military Family". That is, until the last few years. My grandfather served many, many years ago (WWII). My uncle served also (in the 60's). All of that was before I was born.
Then one of my little brothers joined the Marine's. The brother just younger than me. He is closer in age to me than anyone else in our huge family. Then my baby sister married a man in the Air Force. Was this contagious?
Lastly my little brother Tyge (not "Tide") joined the Army. I'm thinking it is contagious because my little sister recently announced that she, too, will be joining the Air Force. Are we bound to be worried for the rest of our lives about one or another of our loved ones?
And worried we are. The fine soldiers in our family have served unwaveringly, this great country we live in. They've also served the citizens of the world. They believe in great causes. And we believe in them. Thankyou for your sacrifices. Thankyou for your service. You make us proud. We love you!
(On a totally different note: tomorrow I will be posting how-to instructions for my "Cute, New Bags". They are harder to explain than they are to make. I needed visual aids. I tried drawing with my computer's drawing program. What I was able to come up with is hideously funny. But use it I will. Right now I need to finish up this week's project. See you tomorrow.)

That is neat to have so many in your family who serve this country. I am sure it gives Veteran's day a new meaning to you to know someone who personally serves.
That is pretty cool. I can't believe your sister is joining too! By the way, what in the world did you ever do with your time before blogging? I can't keep up with all your posts!
Any good movies we should see?
Twilight?!?!?!
