The Eagle Has Landed
I just received a call from my aunt that my uncle (Sgt. Mike Pedri) has landed at Yeager Airport and is about to be on his way home. He is currently on a short vacation from his tour in Iraq serving in the United States Army. He has been gone for months and it just feels surreal that he was actually in Iraq. I can’t be more proud of him and I am just thankful to God that he has arrived home safely.
This Sunday, I will be going to his home for a cookout with family and friends. Today is truly a special day. I cannot wait to see him!
Finally, a blog…
For the past few years, my brother has encouraged me to start a blog. For one reason or another, I always said no to the idea. Years after my brother encouraged me to start a blog for the first time, I finally have taken the leap!
Even though I have only created a few posts, I have found a blog to be a great place to write my ideas and happenings and express my what I’m feeling about… well, anything. My wish is that I can give some enjoyment to readers, but more importantly, I want to have fun documenting my life and those who surround it.
As I enter my senior year of high school, I expect my life to move like a roller coaster. Some days will be rough, but most will be filled with learning new things and creating great memories. When I do graduate next year, I hope to look back on my postings and reflect on the journey I’ve taken—classes passed, projects finished, friends made—and come out of the year knowing that I have not only prepared for my future, but that I have also helped in making the future of others brighter.
So, to my brother Albert, thanks.
Please check out his blog at www.abigpond.com and also find it on my Blogroll. I guarantee it will put a smile on your face
