iMeet the First Lady

So there’s this little show on Nickelodeon called iCarly. And this week, they had a very special episode called “iMeet the First Lady”. In case you’ve been under a pop-culture rock, the main character on the show is Carly. And in the show, her dad is a deployed Air Force Colonel. So, Michelle Obama used this platform to show her support of children & families of deployed soldiers.

Now… Do the G’s even remotely understand who Michelle Obama is? Uh, nope. But they like iCarly. Well, Gina thoroughly enjoys dancing to all their music (we totally rock out to the theme song in the van!). Garrett says it’s a show for girls. But, I do catch him watching it.

So, we I watched the episode… They played around and made a lot of noise, while I did a lot of shushing while I tried to listen.

I was super impressed with the episode! It was funny, but they definitely made their point in addressing the sacrifice that families & children make while mommy or daddy is deployed. And I just wanted to note on my little blog that this special episode was aired while the G’s daddy was deployed.

Michelle Obama: I came here to say, “I’m proud of you”.

Carly: Why are you proud of us?

Michelle Obama: Because of how much you care for your father… (she goes on)

I hope people see that in our little family when they look at us – how proud we are of their father (& my husband). Because we are. We seriously could not be any prouder to support him. He is such a great leader of our family (even if it has to be from afar for a while). And he loves these kids more than they’ll probably be able to understand until they have kids of their own. I love to hear him talk about them and the hopes & dreams he has for them!
