Broken Hearted...

Sometimes I wish I were a little kid again, skinned knees are easier to fix than broken hearts.

This coming Friday, April 9th, marks the start of the 5th Annual Mil-blog Conference in Arlington, VA. I attended the conference last year and had a blast. This year? Nope, won't be there. The cost of essential car repairs kept me from laying out the money that I needed to attend the blogger bash. As with all of life's little disappointments, it's something I'll get over. There is one consolation though, You Served will have live video feed of all the happenings at the conference, so while I can't be there in body, I can attend virtually. Sweet, huh?


After having to face the fact of my mil-blog conference non-attendance, I made plans to attend the SEAL of HONOR book signing here locally the following month of May. I was so excited! I was able to connect with a few fellow military supporters for a meet-up to make the trek to Loveland, Ohio to attend. I'm always amazed who you can connect with on Facebook. But...late last night, I received a email with the news that this event had to be canceled due to unforeseen circumstances.

As you can imagine, this sad news has once again left me with a broken heart.

I'm hopeful that they will reschedule the book signing for SEAL of HONOR. Maybe one day soon, I'll get to meet a few of my Heroes. It was even rumored that Marcus Luttrell, author of 'Lone Survivor' would be in attendance. *sigh* Who could pass up a chance to meet Marcus?!? Especially after having read his book. Certainly not me...just gotta keep my fingers crossed that all the stars will align correctly and one of lifes' greatest opportunity will come to pass.



And so it goes......
