You just took me back in time - for a moment, I was my younger self... sitting in the backseat of my parent's car (even after we'd reached our destination) simply because I wanted to finish my Babysitter's Club Book! And Redwall, yes! Ok, you're my new reading resource.Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09723388478908491006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763535275333116577.post-53296196430743703992007-12-19T13:19:00.000-08:002007-12-19T13:19:00.000-08:00Danielle - that's awesome!

Nate and I were married really young too - I was 22, he was 24... so you understand the moves, the deployments, the stress, etc etc etc... but its wonderful knowing that there are other people out there who can connect and stuff. Military life is a LOT different than I thought - but it's been wonderful at the same time. Germany would be a fascinating place to be stationed, but I'm sure that it came with its own set of struggles! Wow - just married and a BIG move! Holy cow! Reading your comments make me smile - military, not a big fan of flying, and a book lover... wonderful!Marit C-Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06742572497365287990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763535275333116577.post-66553729788419608662007-12-19T11:32:00.000-08:002007-12-19T11:32:00.000-08:00BTW...I've been meanign to write that your blog br...BTW...I've been meanign to write that your blog brings back some memories from the 90s when my husband was a LT in the Army. We got married on his 23rd birthday... right before he was stationed in Germany. Everyone thought we were crazy to marry so young... They were hard years due to the separations, but I really treasure the time we squeezed in together traveling. I hate to fly, too, and the bumpier it is, the more fun Andrew has!!! I tell him it's because he knows how to use a parachute and I don't!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763535275333116577.post-68959384337977175832007-12-19T11:23:00.000-08:002007-12-19T11:23:00.000-08:00I can't say that I'm familiar with James Herriott....I can't say that I'm familiar with James Herriott... now I'll have to go look him up! I'm sure I may have come across him at some point, but just don't recognize the name. I think it's AWESOME that you spent money on batteries for the flashlight - too funny! Books are great like that - thanks for sharing your comment.

My husband always knows when I need to take a trip to the library...when I am in bed at 9:00 with the lights out and the radio on... My three-year old is well on her way to being a book worm (she is "reading" (a.k.a. pretending) Shakespeare's Four Tradgedies this week)! Did you ever read any of James Herriott's books growing up? He's got some great cat stories...<BR/>-DanielleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
