Jesse Made It.

Well as most of you probably know, Jesse has made it safely to Iraq. From the one time I got to talk to him (for about 2 minutes) and from his first email he sounds like he is doing just fine. It makes me feel so much better to know he is ok. Ethan and I and Grandma Jill and Aunt Shannon had a nice time at the Support Our Troops Rally. It was nice to be around other people who had loved ones who are deployed. Sometimes I feel so alone since I am not anywhere near a military base. I do have a co-worker from Fort Lewis whose husband is deployed ( Hi Kelly!) so it is nice to have someone to talk to about it. I contacted the head person at the group called Montana Supports Our Troops (or something close to that) and I am going to try to link up with her and volunteer some time sending care packages, etc. Speaking of packages, I need to get some in the mail for Jess! I am planning on overloading him with mail...too much is better than too little right? Well hopefully he will get to check this blog soon --- and hopefully I will get to talk to him soon as well. We love and miss you Jesse!! Be safe and stay strong!
