My first Time

No really, this is my first time on this Blog. Scared you huh? WEll, I wanted to get on here and say something funny and witty to make you all smile and want to read more. But I have recently discovered that being funny and witty gets me in trouble!
I had a rant about some stupid people today. I am in the Army, for those of you that did not see my profile. I have been in the Army 2 years as a Combat medic. Doing the math, you realize that I joined the Army AFTER the war in Iraq started. Now riddle me this batman... why do people keep saying that the soldiers in Iraq "didn't sign on to spend a year in the desert"? HELLO?! That is exactly what I signed on for. Of course, I am one of the few who was left behind to hold down the rear... but come on. If it is one thing I knew when I joined, it was that I would one day get an invitation to the big sand dance. And if not me, then someone I know.
My Husband is in Iraq with the 3rd ID Right now, and he tells me every day how thankful he is to get to experience what he is going through. Yes... soldiers are dying, and most of them would rather be home that stuck in the desert playing peek-a-boo with IED's.... but not one of those soldiers over there can say that they were forced to join an army at war. None of them were drafted. We all knowingly and willingly signed on that Line. So please... hate the war, Hate Bush for starting a war that has gone on too long... But know that we knew what we were getting in to... and we still chose to serve our country.
New Topic!
Now that I have that out of my system.... my day has been filled with much brighter moments then the last few. I was having some issues with my past and was questioning some of my decisions. If you want to read all about it, check out my Old blog at http://jennithebrat.tripod.com and go to the links. I am not going to re live THAT again. But today has gone off much nicer. I got a lot of work done around my house. I am re-modeling our bedroom while David (My Husband) is gone, and I am about ready to start work on the furniture!
My friend Dave (not the same as my husband!) started this Blog for me, cause he didn't like my old one! *Sticks out tongue at Dave* But I wanted to say thank you to him. This is MUCH Easier. I have to go for now... this has been fun and LONG... but I will update later. I promise it will be shorter!
Love
Jenni

Um....Jenni....these above posts are what advertisers are resorting to now-a-days. Just log in, come back to this page, and hit the trash icon under each of them.

Oye....you fucking spammers need to go!

I was touched by what you said in your first post. I want to thank you and your husband for serving.

You write well; your stories about work, etc are interesting!

I just started my blog this week, am having fun so far...Best, Ann
