Well, today is my Friday! (Even though it is Wednesday!) I will be going out of town again this weekend, this time to visit my best friend/college roommate in Michigan. I am super excited about this trip and thrilled to be visiting a state that I have never been to before. I ALWAYS enjoy spending time with Paige, and this time will be spending a little bit of time getting to know the new man in her life. 🙂 I have seen pictures and heard many things about him, and he better be as wonderful as she says he is. I guess we will know soon enough! She is my best friend and the sweetest, kindest, most incredible girl I’ve ever known so he better be pretty darn amazing himself.
I am super excited to just catch up with her and find out what all has been happening lately. We talk at least once a week, but its always easier to just catch up in person. She is one of the only people I feel like I can completely be myself around. I haven’t found anyone down here like that yet, and I am not sure I will. That is why it will be so wonderful to fly up there and spend some time with her!
So, on a different note. I have been reading some news articles online about the recent events in Syria and the plans that are being discussed right now. I have to say, it does worry me a little. I am afraid if we go foward with this air strike that we are going to be starting up a 3rd World War. I understand the importance of letting them know that chemical weapon use will not be tolerated, but at what risk? It doesn’t really seem like there is an all-around great answer to this problem, but I am dreading what may happen if we were to go forth with this attack.
I think it makes it a little more real now that I am married to someone in the Air Force. Not that I did not feel for the families who had to see their loved ones go over to Iraq and Afganistan, I truly hated the situation and pain they have all had to go through. Being part of the military really makes it hit home though, it forces you to really feel the pain of separation and fear for our troops. I am terrified that if we make this air strike, it really will end up resulting in “boots on the ground.” I can only pray that God protects this country and the men defending it, no matter what may arise.
