We randomly found Tony's ID tags. Tony's reaction was "meh," but mine was of relief and excitement. I think if we have a son (or even a daughter) he or she would think it was really cool that Tony was in the army, and would probably get a kick out of his tags and medals.
All of his other army uniforms (aside from the Class A's, I think) are gone now, and the only thing that remains are the pins, patches and medals.
It made me wonder, what would be left if I stopped doing science? Sure, there would be a few textbooks, model kits, a forest's worth of paper, an incubator with exactly 3 10 cm dishes of dead cells, maybe an award or two. Definitely not as cool as a joint service medal, that's for sure.
Day 125:
The green rhino. I bought this as a gift for Tony while we were dating. I was back home in Ohio for the holidays, and my dad and I went to a big antique area north of Dayton. I found an old Avon men's cologne bottle in the shape of a rhino, and new I had to buy it! Little did I know the darn thing would be located on a bookshelf in my living room a few years later...
Day 126:
Tony's hard at work. I mean, really hard at work. He's taking 4 classes (which translates to more than 18 hours at a brick-and-mortar school), and he's working a new job for 40 hours a week--not to mention the presently awful commute. I'm really proud of him for being so diligent, and happy about his new job. It most definitely makes things easier to burden from my perspective :).
