My daughter Tadpole aka Kaitlin (Katie) is my Hero. She's a Junior in High School getting all A's & B's this year and is currently in her 2nd year of MCJROTC. She's using her brain to think about her future..something I wish I'd done more of in own early years. Katie doesn't really ask for much, as she's very aware of our finances of the late. Dad is retired and on a pension and I work full time in retail pharmacy, but as the retail game always seems to go..hours get cut more than they get raised =( and soon as Katie graduates from high school we plan on moving south where the cost of living is much cheaper, a plan that was put into place pre-high school but time got away from us.

I've included a link to her wishlist http://a.co/dyhunF2, some things that I've picked out for her, and others I swiped from her own amazon wish list. Here is her validation picture (she has no idea what the little paper says) https://imgur.com/bDvjYdJ and here is a snapshot of her doing her Patriotic duty this month standing guard in honor of Veterans Day at her school (with the other students faces altered) https://imgur.com/Wnz8leW
