I am spending the afternoon today in the Life of Heli. In the time span that it usually takes me to shower and get ready, we ate lunch, picked up Drew from pre-school, went to get Drew a haircut, and put the kids down for a nap.

As many people have posted on Facebook and media outlets alike messages honoring the veterans of this country, I decided to stop and think what those words really mean. I get the words, people have fought for the well being of America and deserve a day to be honored for their actions. I’m not sure I really understand the meaning. […]
