More Pictures?

My phone won't let me post pictures on this blog, so I actually have to sit at a computer (which I do very rarely).....So, I post all of our pictures at www.thebrownells.shutterfly.com

About Me

My photo
I have a husband and a puppy. I love one and am obsessed with the other. I'll let you figure out which is which. I love my job, my house, my students, my cheerleaders, and my life. I guess you could say things are going pretty well... I teach high school English and coach cheer. Husband is a video game designer. Guess which one the future Brownell babies will think is cooler...

RESTREPO

We watched Restrepo last night.



OMG it was the most upsetting documentary that I've ever watched.  It's about these children (I say children as I am older than like every single one) who are serving in the Korengal Valley in Afghanistan.  They get attacked 5 or 6 times a day.  Several of the boys are killed.  It's absolutely insane.  It made me want to a be an anti-war hippy.  I feel so much for their families.  OMG.  I can't even put into words how this movie made me feel.  I would highly suggest that everyone take some time and watch this movie.  It's a watch it now on Netflix.

The saddest thing to me is that this movie only made less than $2,000,000 in the theaters.  Garfield made more than that.
