Finally Heard from my son

God Bless each and everyone of you who have loved ones overseas or headed that way. We are so proud to have them serving our country. Thank each and every one of them for us.

Oh Im so happy Micki!

I still have a ways to go until my baby leaves for Afghanistan. I cry when I talk to him though I don't let him hear me. I miss that rotten booger.

My son is a Marine deployed to Iraq for the 2nd time. Not hearing from him is the absolute hardest, I live by the motto "no news is good news" I practically chant it at times it seems. My son lost a good friend over there the 12th , they deployed together both times. I went to the funeral this week on my son's behalf, I think he would have wanted me to. It was so very, very sad. I have 27 baby hens (2 weeks old) and a large adopted turkey, 5 older hens(18 weeks) and a tiny frizzel roo, that are keeping me busy right now and that helps so much, last deployment I knocked out the dining room wall and remolded and faux painted the living room, this time DH said "you are out of walls". So chicks will work, they are so much fun. All of you with deployed sons, daughters, husbands or wives know that they are all in my prayers. It seems it is a big boat with an awful lot of us in it.
God Bless

Well I got some good news/bad news. The good news is Corey's graduation has been delayed so it may be the new year before he ships out and the bad news is he may have stress fractures to his shins. He is doing so well, that they didn't want him to come home and lose his momentum. They are placing him in a rehab unit. I may not get to see him until Thanksgiving but I can say at the table this year that I am thankful for the change in Corey.
