Safe in Daddy's Arms

I was going through pictures from when I was younger and I came across this one. My family went to an air show and I was getting tired. My dad looks so cool in this picture. :o)

Featuring Me!

Yes this is a picture of me surrounded by my wonderful WWII books, but there is a reason for this. At the beginning of this semester, one of my friends asked me if she could interview me for the yearbook. She was doing a piece on students and where they see themselves in ten years. She wanted to ask students that she knew were planning on going on to careers that are out of the norm... like a museum curator. Ha! She talked to someone who wanted to start a church in the U.K., become the Secretary of State (which he said would take way more than ten years- more like thirty), and be on the SWAT team with the Riverside Police Department. I thought it was pretty sweet that she did this because we are used to hearing about those who want to become teachers or missionaries at our school, which there is absolutely nothing wrong with. 

So here is what was said about me: "Laura Kruse, a history major and WWII enthusiast said: 'In ten years I hope to become a head museum curator in a museum that focuses on America's historical events, such as the USS Arizona Memorial, where I interned this summer. Once I have spent years in the museum and am more experienced, I would like to open a museum dedicated to the women of the United States who have shaped our country and helped us to get where we are in America today.'"

Under my picture, which took up the whole opposite page, it said: "Laura Kruse, a history major, has an extensive collection of historical literature." Ha!
