Memorial Day 2010

I can't believe it is already May 31st. I love Memorial Day. I love the opportunity to celebrate the men and women who gave their lives to protect the things we value most: home, family, freedom, and religion.

I called my dad today to thank him for what he did for our country.

I loved being raised in the military and am grateful for the incredible opportunities we had. Living in different countries, allowed us to experience cultural diversity and exposed us to a variety of people, places and ideas. I think these experiences made us more well rounded individuals. It also allowed us to see the beauty in the world and its people.
