Brett Shadle: Member SEAL Team Six Dead
TUCSON, Ariz. -- Brett D. Shadle always had wanted to be a member of the Navy's most elite special forces unit. A year after enlisting, he made it happen and went on to become a highly decorated member of the Navy's famed SEAL Team 6.
U.S. military officials confirmed Saturday that Shadle, a 31-year-old special warfare operator chief, died Thursday when he and another SEAL collided in midair during a parachute training exercise over the rugged desert of southern Arizona.
Shadle was taken to University of Arizona Medical Center in Tucson, where he was pronounced dead. The other SEAL – an unidentified E-6 petty officer first class – remained in stable condition Saturday at the Tucson hospital.
Military officials said the accident was under investigation.

That little tingle in the back of my mind is going nuts on this one. All I can say is, rest in Peace Brett Shadle. Thank you for your service.
The rest of you members of SEAL Team Six, watch each other's backs. I don't think it's over.

Light it Up Blue: Autism Awareness Day
Monday is Light it Up Blue Day in preparation for World Autism Awareness Day. Display blue in homes, businesses, and blogs to support Autism research and awareness. In celebration, I just ordered these beautiful angel wing necklaces for the girls and myself. A portion of the funds go to research and therapy for people with Autism. If you know someone who'd enjoy wearing one, please buy one to show support. And remember to Light It Up Blue next week.

Sick Easter Humor
Since I've been informed by several concerned anonymous commenters that my eternal soul is destined for a fiery hell, I don't see any reason not to secure luxury accommodations. And those of you who understand Easter in Christian terms, y'all know it has nothing to do with bunnies or eggs or delicious yummy chocolate.

Army Humor
Okay, I had an "Oh SHIT!" moment today when talking to Poppy. He informed me that he's been reading my blog. For the last month. Oh. Shit. This is the man who told me I would not be allowed to spend time alone with a member of the opposite sex until I was 18. And made it stick until I was 20. This is the man who, I'm sure, while holding my first daughter, was justifying a second possible virgin birth. This is my Poppy. And he's been reading my blog. Oh. Shit.
Now I have no real qualms, not ashamed of anything I've posted, until it comes to him. And then my head started spinning and I was trying to remember everything I've posted and comments made and responded to, and the pictures, oh Dear Lord in Heaven.... So he said to me, "You've only been doing this a few months and you've had that many people look in? And it seems like you've made some good friends. I'm really proud of you, but...." Suck it up, Angel, stand tall and take it like an adult. "...what the hell is with all the Marine shit? What about the Army? You do remember that's the branch I proudly served? You think we're any less deserving of your attention? WHERE'S THE ARMY BABES?!"
Not what I was expecting, kind of took me by surprise there, but okay, I would NEVER want to disappoint Poppy. Never. So some Army humor and some camo babes:
