Happy Veteran's Day

Today is Veteran’s Day and many people don’t even notice because they are so busy with work and family that they don’t even realize today is a holiday until they head out to their mailbox and find it’s empty. Another reason this day goes unnoticed among many is because this holiday is not recognized by many businesses. This holiday does not go unnoticed in our house because Andy is one of those rare “bankers” who get this holiday off of work; this holiday among the 50 holidays his employer recognizes. This is never fair because there is always some holiday that Andy gets off of work for, so instead of heading to work this morning he stayed in bed while I was up and getting ready for work. What’s worse is that he got to spend the day with the girls (our puppies) while I was super busy at work all day trying to get things done before I jet off to Wisco on Thursday. The only extra “holidays” I get off that Andy doesn’t is the Friday after Thanksgiving and the day after tax day, April 16th. This does not compare to Andy’s numerous extra holidays. It seems like he has one holiday every other week. Well, I did tell him that he should celebrate this day and head downtown to the Phoenix Veteran’s Day parade. He is not into parades so he did some errands and hung out at the house. Sounds like my kind of holiday!
