What about your Friends? I have recently contacted a lot of old Army buddies and every time I do my memory goes on overdrive. It is great to catch up with them and see where they are and what they doing. I was surprised to see many had remained in the service even after the Iraq war. I am not sure how many have been lost in the recent wars but I'm amazed how many made through alive! Some of our friends were left behind by our own accord or things did not end the way we thought they should. Life is too short and friends are an important part of life. I had decided not to keep in touch with one of my friends and just recently contacted her. She is doing fine and has a great life. So 15 years have passed and we can talk like we just saw each other yesterday. Time has been wasted due to stubbornness and pride. The search was just to put things in perspective and make amends. Now, if I could do that with all the other relationships that ended on sour note! Ha Don't let petty things cause you grief and cherish your friends.
Enjoy the new pics of "Peanut", we get her soon. Isn't she a doll?
About Me
- pwoodyj
- My life might not be the most exciting but it has been filled lots of joy! I grew up in a small town north of Pittsburgh, PA. Ford City was a good and safe place to grow up. Lots of factories and Pittsburgh Steelers!! I often wonder where I'd be if I stayed there to work and raise a family. This would not have been a bad thing, I think! After seeing all that I have and experiencing the things that I have it seems almost impossible to think that I could have stayed there. Some people spend their whole lives in these small towns. Some never even leave there state in fear of what is out there. Is the world flat? I grew up in the 80's and it was a fun time! I wasn't the college type so I joined the military and went off to see the world. I was sent to Europe (Germany) for my first enlistment much to my chagrin. I served 10 years in the Army as a Military Policeman. I had a blast and traveled the world on the Governments dime! I’m now living in the Great Northwest and love it here. It is an awesome place to bring up a family. Lynden is another small town but is close enough to Bellingham for all the other necessities. Washington is a great state but I will always be a Steelers fan!
42nd B-day!

Peanut sure is cute.I still think a series of small pictures from
the time she was born, for on the wall would be nice and the same
thing if you have the ones of Zoey
yet. I'm going to try and watch a
little TV but I suppose my mind
will be on Cody and what will be
happening tomorrow. I sure do hope
and pray everything turns out great. Give the kids a kiss for me
OH! and Kelsey also.
LOVE YOU ALL,
