He's back at Bragg!

Our soldier left home on Monday afternoon, to start the 1200 mile drive back to Ft. Bragg....alone...I offered to go with him and fly back...but he said he would be fine. He was, he arrived there on Tuesday afternoon.

He called today, said he has been busy. They had their unit bar b q today. He had the honor of meeting PFC Tony Seig's mom, his aunt and his mom's best friend. He said it was really good to meet them....he has thought of them for a very long time...said the food was good and that he had been helping Deb....the wife of his best friend that was killed...deal with the kids and just stuff...trying to take care of his "brother's" wife. I told him he was a good, caring young man...that I was proud of him.

I have finally been getting back to business...printed orders this week, updating my gift basket web site with all the holiday baskets...making "thank you" cards to send out for those that helped with our "party"....a little late, but I hope everyone understands...

I am now planning our next Support Group meeting...in two weeks...as one of our members...her son leaves on the 25th to go to Iraq. Will try to meet the following weekend...she will need a few hugs I am afraid...

Our daughter's fiance joined the Air Force last week...then they surprised him with an opening for his #1 Choice...but he had to leave mid December. He didn't get back to them quite soon enough, and the spot was taken...I don't know how I could possibly plan a wedding in 6 weeks...with my "busy" holiday time approaching. Normally I work 7 days a week at least 12 hours a day for those 4 weeks...so I can say I am GLAD it worked out the way it did! LOL! I told them we would "Get 'er done", but at the same time I was thinking...how?

We are still making care packages...have packages ready, but no recipients...If you have a service member deployed to either Iraq or Afghanistan, send me their address by email...and we will do our best to get a package out!

Well, that is about enough for now. Have probably bored every one enough!

Head down, eyes open, I love you.
