Remember today

We are heading out to World's of Fun today! I won some tickets from a facebook giveaway a few weeks ago, but even better- Derek gets in free today with his military id. Way cool! I think we may head out to a movie this evening too. Who doesn't love a day off?!?

As you are enjoying an extra day to your weekend, be sure to take some time to remember what this day is about-- Remembering the men and women who've sacrificed to protect our freedoms.

I have always felt passionately about supporting our troops and until just a few months ago, I've always supported from the sidelines. But now, we've entered into the life of a military family. I am so proud of my husband for making such a huge commitment to serve our country. I am grateful of all the soldiers that continually serve here at home and overseas.

I wrote a post a few months back about how being a solider and being a parent of a teenager can be pretty thankless jobs. At the end of the post, I included several ways to support some soldiers- check it out and chose one to do today!

This is the only pic I have of Derek in anything Army- his PT clothes. I promise that a uniform picture will be taken soon and I'll share!
