Prep time

As most of you know, I have been very busy at home trying to prepare to go to Iraq. I have been trying to prepare my family for my absence too. Been making things for the boys to have to hang on to when they miss me. I feel very fortunate that I am able to go to Iraq and take care of people involved in this mess. I am also very lucky that I wont be gone as long as most soldiers. Brian has lots of support at home, and lots of people that want to help him when I am gone. We are blessed to have such great friends and family. I have been a little sad about leaving my "babies", but I know they will be fine and time will fly by.
One going-away party down this weekend, two more parites to go........

This is going to be a great way to keep in touch with you. Hope you have a great week with you mom and family and friends. Wish I could see you off, but am grateful we had a few days together in Seattle and you got to meet Scotty.

Much love and kisses and huggs. Stay safe

Hey Lady,

You be safe over there and take care of yourself and those around you. Don't worry about a thing at home that is what friends and family are for. Just come home safely. Our love and prayers are with you see you soon.

It's kind of surreal to think you are actually on your way to this huge event in your life! We are thinking of you every minute and are so very proud of you for putting your Boots on the Ground! oxoxo Mom and Kenny

Thank you for the short note-was good to hear from you. Hot and sandy, huh? I guess I'm not surprised, but I was a little surprised to hear you are in tents! I thought they would move you into a 4-star hotel!! oxoxo Mom
