Windows 95 was released 10 years ago today!

With the release of Vista coming, Win95 turns 10. Just think about what will be in the version of Windows that comes out whenVista turns 10. Lots of improvements have come and lots more to come.

We all loved you Win95 in your prime and have now moved on; but we wont forget all the good times we had like waiting for you to start up, swearing at the blue screens and saying “why do I have to reinstall when I install a new application?”

I believe it was last October and November when Jeremy and Jake were sent over to Iraq. They had to leave there families to go for training a few months prior to leaving the States to go over there.

At first it was quite strange when they left. When someone dies, you know they are never coming back. It's different in war; it's more of a question mark as to whether they are going to be coming home or not. In war people die, you just hope that your friends and family are the ones who make it home alive and hopefully un-injured. I have to say the longer they've been over there the more my confidence has grown that they will be coming home and they will be able to see their kids grow up.

Last month they were both back here for two weeks. We all got together a few times while they were back, and had a great time. Jake was able to be back for my wedding, but Jeremy had to be on a plane at 10AM the day of the wedding to go back to Iraq.

We all can't wait until you guys are home again. I commend your bravery and couldn't be prouder that you guys are over there making a difference in other people's lives so that they too can some day live in a FREE society with out fear of persecution of their personal beliefs.

War is bitter sweet, and I see more sweet than bitter in this war.

I know I never mentioned it in past blog entries. The date was picked and it was being planned over the last year. I got married on July 30th. The ceremony was about 30 minutes long, and it took 3 and a half hours to take pictures. Yeah, the the ceremony took one seventh of the time it took to take pictures. I know that's how it usually goes, but it sucks standing all day in what has to be the most uncomfortable, rented pair of shoes.

We were kind of worried it would be too hot or it would rain, but it turned out really nice. It wasn't too hot and it didn't rain. One of the brides assistants sprained her knee at the reception, but there was no need for an ambulance to come. Also (somewhat suprisingly) everyone in the bridal party had a great time and there were no confrontations (by anyone) of a violent nature.

I was not nervous, I just siezed the day and had a blast!
