To all the men and women who have fought for our liberty, I thank you. My family is all military – Navy, for the most part, and I’ve always been proud of that. I tried a brief run in Sea Cadets, but I’m not cut out for military life. At all. My grandmother was in the WAVES and really, that freaking rocks. She’s an amazing lady. I don’t say that enough.

But a special thank you to my very strange husband, who has done little more than constantly impress me with his strength and love, even when I’m a complete and utter basketcase. Maybe its the military training that has enabled you to put up with me, or maybe its the military experimentation they did… but whatever it is, my life would not be the same without you.

For better or for worse, babycakes. Now, go have some more tea
