A Soldier's Story: Check out my video!!!

Check out my video!!!

Ok I have to admit I pretty proud of myself for busting into the whole YouTube video thing. I have been messing around with video and stuff for awhile but I think I've got it pretty well figured out now. The link on the right hand side of the page has two clips. They are both the same but they are of different quality. I wasnt sure if I would ever get the good quality one uploaded so I uploaded the same video in a smaller format. Anybody using cable should be able to watch the better quality one no problem.

I have lots of video but it takes forever to cut it and and music and effects. It's time consuming but it's a nice distraction when I have extra time. So do me a favor and let me know what you think of my new hobby. I will try to do more but it takes a long time to upload. The high quality one took almost 3 hours to upload. I will do what I can.

Later for now

Dade and I watched just watched and you did a great job, you SHOULD be proud of yourself!Dade's comments were "Why does the military do so much stuff?" "This is my first time seeing Iraq!" (even though he's seen the exact same video without the stellar editing) and then, as soon as it was over, "Can we watch it again?" Pretty high praise, LOL!

Love ya, Sweetie! Be Safe!; September 3, 2008 at 4:25 PM

For my Awesome Wife on Mother's day

On Mother’s Day…

I think of the person that is closest to me and how I couldn’t have picked a better roll model for Drake and Ashtyn. I am so lucky to have such a spectacular woman in my life, and our kids don’t realize it, but they have the best Mom in the world.

I know I have said it before but you are everything to me. My best friend, my, my wife (of course duh), and most important to everyone else around us a fantastic Mother.

The things that you do that you don’t even realize set such a great example for our children. It’s the little things that matter and our kids will be so much better for it. Many times I know you feel like you are being too hard but even then you are setting an example, and our kids will thank you for it.

I am so proud of you. I know you think I am bias, but I understand how hard it is for you to operate in your profession and the pressures you face. Add in your motherly duties and I understand how easy it could be to get overwhelmed by events. Your attitude is so awesome. You constantly inspire me to be a better person just to keep up with you. My job and our current circumstances make your job even harder. Being a mother can be tough enough, add in a full time job that puts your life on the line, and then toss in being the spouse of a deployed service member….. you my dear are a “gem” as my Dad would say.

You make me so happy, and by making me happy I can’t help but want to make you the happiest woman on this earth. You truly bring out the best in me and I am sure our children are grateful for that. You have made me a better Dad because you are such an awesome Mother.

Thoughtful…. Is the word I use most when describing you to others. I continue to be amazed by you. Many people think about doing things but you actually think up something and follow through. You are always planning activities to bring our family closer together. Now I know you may give the credit to other people or websites but it is you that is always seeking out ways to bring us closer together. You are the hub of a wagon wheel that we call our family.

My darling wife you never give yourself enough credit and on this day I want you to know how much I appreciate what you do for our family. Mother is just a word and when I look at you and what you do, I now know what the meaning of that word is.

I Love You so very much,

Brent
