I have never thanked a soldier but only because I'm a fairly shy person and I've felt too nervous but I am extremely grateful. My grandfather was in the Army and then the Navy. He did clean up after Pearl Harbor. He had to be in Psycho-Therapy for a while after that. Very sad. Anyway, glad you trip is full of adventure, sunshine and fun. :)theUngourmethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02433513087823589129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-816674336907910654.post-24493376459373945722010-03-01T23:42:07.923-05:002010-03-01T23:42:07.923-05:00Allyson, I don't think I knew that Neal was in...Allyson, I don't think I knew that Neal was in the Army.

I was LAUGHING OUT LOUD and said something along the lines of "Ahohhhhhh she is SO funny." Cory said, "who? Allyson?" mmhm. yup. you.<br /><br />I am not a shy person (i always tell people my favorite part about them, whethter it's their lipstick or sassy way of dealing with a shit cashier. and i mean people i don't know) but i always get a little nervous telling the troops (and their wives) thank you because i really don't know what the hell im talking about. capt? lt? officer? dont know the difference. and that's a shame becuase my dad was in desert storm, Cory in Iraq and my brother in iraq now. shame on me. SHAME ON ME. <br /><br />thanks neal. thanks allyson. <br /><br />oh and you're smart to know that az is hot almost all year around. when i went 2 decembers ago i packed a wool dress and boots. and corys relatives thought it was cold so their heat was jacked up to 74 degrees. at night. i died.Kierahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16526365445989180090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-816674336907910654.post-73043780608020124932010-03-01T17:42:01.667-05:002010-03-01T17:42:01.667-05:00I always want to thank soliders in uniform but sto...I always want to thank soliders in uniform but stop myself because I'm afraid they will think I'm a lunatic.

And you're right - it's not just what they do. There's a whole team (family) of people behind each soldier, supporting them and giving up a hell of a lot for them to go overseas and make sure that we are all safe. And I thank each and every one of them - AND YOU, Neal & Ally - for doing exactly that.<br /><br />Sounds like an interesting adventure in AZ. My MIL lives in Scotsdale, so I'm a little bit familiar. I've never had the cahones to climb Camelback... but I might actually try it now - you've inspired me! I just love how everything in the Phoenix area looks so much different than what I'm used to - stucco, cactus, desert, mountains, palm trees - it's visually appealing to me.<br /><br />Can't wait to see how the trip progresses... :)<br /><br />Cheers lady - glad you're back!foxyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16352196676526508960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-816674336907910654.post-83954629155181090852010-03-01T16:57:31.468-05:002010-03-01T16:57:31.468-05:00That is one very handsome soldier in that first ph...That is one very handsome soldier in that first photo! Your writing skills are superb! I enjoyed your first installment today. I HATE flying and stories like yours only adds to my dislike. As I have never been to Arizona or anywhere near that area I am taking a keen interest. Thanks to your husband for serving our country. I so appreciate what people in our military do and the sacrifices they and their families make.

First off THANK YOU NEAL FOR ALL YOU DO FOR OUR COUNTRY and THANK YOU ALLYSON for all you do for the man that does all he does for our country and for being a supportive Military Wife! :) I will remember to not be shy next time I see men and women in uniform - I always wonder how they will take me rushing up to thank them. Truth be told I'll probably cry... I always cry when military stuff comes on TV... or if I hear the National Anthem. I'm a serious sap when it comes to things like this. :)Kelly @ turned UP to ELEVEN!https://www.blogger.com/profile/17316990503032552760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-816674336907910654.post-52221437268512875942010-03-01T16:21:43.980-05:002010-03-01T16:21:43.980-05:00Next time I try to find a hotel, I'm going to ...Next time I try to find a hotel, I'm going to make sure there is a manager's reception...how did you finagle that one?
