a light heart: marrying young

alightheart:

  • According to sociologists Norval Glenn and Jeremy Uecker, who examined five data sets, “the greatest indicated likelihood of being in an intact marriage of the highest quality is among those who married at ages 22-25.”

Couponing in the Ottawa Valley

That’s amazing. I never understood how you could use multiple free coupons in the same transaction… I need to look up coupon beginner guides or something! haha

Unless the coupon states ” One coupon per transaction” you can use as many as you want!! Here in Canada, we are just not allowed to stack coupons, which is using more than one coupon on one product, where some stores in the States will allow this! 

Frist it was Gossip Girl, now 90210 is ending…

I’m going to crying during this whole series finally. 

Corey called my mom from the field to wish her a Happy Mother’s Day, right after my mom called me crying because she was so happy that he called her!

He’s such a sweetheart! <3

I asked Corey how the OP went last night during the training exercise and he told me that they got compromised and that realistically they would have been killed. I said that I didn’t like the sound of that and this is what he explained to me:

I know, but that’s the reality of it. Recce op’s are hard and testing of the soldiers as well as a high chance of compromise which can lead to death. There are two outcomes if an op gets hit. We’re semi ready and can fight the fight with some sort of survival, or they hit us when we are lax and we all die. Recce by death is a common saying in the RCD. In Afghanistan, that’s what they did, they drove till they hit an IED or until they were engaged by enemy fire. Our job is to find the enemy. If we find them because they hit us  and we tell higher, wether we all die or not, our mission was accomplished. You need and deserve to know that I may be in high risk situations a lot. 

I was so not ready to hear that.
