My blog really kind of dropped off the face of the earth after Seth and Eli returned from Iraq. The blog was my release...my therapy...my way to stay connected with the boys while they were in harm's way. When they returned my need to write and keep up with the news disappeared with the fear that I carried in my heart each and every day they were gone. It wasn't that I didn't have anything to say.....I just didn't have the NEED to say it!
Life has continued. Seth and Eli are happily embedded in their homes, Eli in North Carolina with Katy and Seth is living in Virginia with Brittany. Eli is working at a private school as a "jack of all trades" while Seth continues to try and finish his education at James Madison University. Josh is now living in Baltimore, Maryland working as a Guidance Counselor at an inner-city middle school. The family was rather obsessed over the last several months with the election of Barrack Obama. In June, Seth talked me into another blog, Left Leaning Right Minded, and you could check that out to see the level of his involvement with the campaign.
We celebrated Thanksgiving as a complete family and truly counted our blessings. Seth and Eli will end their committment with the National Guard in five months. We're counting the days. As soon as the Christmas season ends it's my intention to finally put this blog to bed for good. I plan to put the blog into book form for Seth and Eli to keep. My working title is: "Twins with Guns....our small part in the war on terror." I'll let you know how it goes.
