Veteran's Day

I have never really realized the real importance of Veteran's Day. About the only thing I knew about it was that it happened every November 11 and it was a day off from school. I now realize that there is a lot more to Veteran's Day than a day off of work or school.


I spent some time today looking through the cookbook that my Grandpa Carey used during WWII while he was serving in the Coast Guard as a cook. It made me appericate what he did for our country. I did not get to hear his war stories from him personally; however, the one I did hear makes me appericate that he made it back home alive. He was serving in the South Pacific on a tug boat, the tug was pushing a barge and my Grandma Carey does not remember whether the tug or the barge got hit by an underwater mine and caused it to blow-up. However, everybody aboard made it safely back to port.

I really appericate what our veterans and currently serving armed forces do for this country and that they are willing to risk their lives to keep us safe. Thank you for keeping us safe.

New Blog

I have decided to start a new blog, this blog is going to be about books that I am ready. I am going to write what they are about and what I thought of them. I have always been an avided reader. I will post more when I start the blog and the link.

Rollar Coaster

I feel like I have already been on a roller coaster this week and the week hasn't even really gotten started.

What has happened so far this week:

-My dad ended up in the hospital needing a blood transfusion and the doctor's still don't know what is going on. They ran a bunch of tests and my dad has a couple of procedures on Friday. Hopefully they will figure out what is going on. My dad is feeling a little better now that they have replaced the blood that he lost. But he is really tired and is off of work until further notice. Which is both a good thing and a bad thing.

-I have applied for several jobs but have still been unable to find a job. I really wish that they would pay you for filling out applications and pounding the pavement. Hopefully, I will find something soon.

I am hoping that this week will get better. Thank you for all of the prayers for my family.

New way of eating

Well on Monday I started a new weight loss program. I just hope that I stick to it. I am finding it very difficult. I want to eat everything in sight but I am trying my best. So far I have managed to work workout two days in a row. It feels really good. Now I just have to make it part of my everyday schedule.
