Family Interview Results Summary As I was trying to decide which essay to write, I thought to myself that it would be very interesting to do a family interview on a close sibling discussing their views of dating and how their marriage unfolded. There were many different siblings I was considering, including my grandparents, but when it came down to it, I had to choose my mother because I was interested to see how my mother and father met, even though I got a brief description growing up.

Following magazines as I moved into high school the internet became a growing source of text on everything possible you can imagine which I still browse on a daily basis. Even with the internet the most revolutionary change in reading for me came with my purchase of my first Amazon Kindle. I was two months into my first deployment in Afghanistan when I was the first person to come home on mid tour leave. I convinced my wife to let me buy one of these new devices and I was hooked, I even had a light on it so I could read anywhere at any time I wanted. This thing was so easy to see and held so many books and was very easy to turn the page which was great for a lazy person like me.
