Happy Veterans Day!

This morning I woke up to Andrew kissing me but thats not the part that woke me up, what shook me out of my dream was him saying " WOW your lips are cold!" haha yup then I was awake. I opened my eyes just a little and did that "sexy" morning squinty eye look with yesterdays makeup still on and I smiled and said " Happy veterans day baby!"

I don't believe the Military receives enough recognition in the work force. I make sure everyday to make sure Andrew feels appreciated. He works hard, never knows what time he will come home 2, 3, or 4 AM! And there is no overtime in this occupation. so you can work extra hard or do barley nothing and still get treated basically the same. I make it a conscientious effort to let him know how he is such a great worker and how proud I am of him. Because I really am! he needs someone there everyday to tell him this, right?

So we made this " Andrews day "... I let him pick everything and anything today. It was all about him and his hard work paying off and a wonderful day off. We even went to Apple bees and received a free meal for Andrew and they didn't even ask if he was military, ( must have been the hair cut hehe)

I am very proud of Andrew being such a hard worker and that he has the awesomest job ever! And I love the fact that our life will NEVER be boring, who knows when his work schedule will change and who knows where we will move to every 4 years but thats what keeps us on our tippy toes!

This winter Andrew had asked me to stand in front of everyone he works with and pin him as he became a second class. believe me I was so scared, I even carried girl scout cookies in my purse (don't ask why, i don't know either). But I was so honored to be able to be present for a moment like that in his life and also be a part of it and stand next to him as it all happened.

As we sat at our free lunch I said to Andrew, Happy veterans day once more, and I also said. "hopefully next year there are two coasties sitting at this table instead of one" ( you got that right! )
