Well, let's see. I'm the hopelessly non-mechanical person who kept reminding my husband about the burned-out headlight. (1) My husband had to get the old bulb out so he could match it up at the auto parts store. (2)

As many know I am currently serving in Iraq as a soldier in the U.S. Army. I had a choice last year to serve my second tour in Iraq or to get out while I could. And as many might have guessed my mind was made up before I was ever even asked.

I have to admit it. I've been learning a lot during my limited time on the Vine. I joined as a mostly fundamentalist Christian. Yes, a conservative (with occasional liberal leanings). This has not changed.
