Thank you so much for all the Halloween Candy and for all your support, that’s amazing. I am constantly overwhelmed by the genorosity you all display. Thank you so much.
We received so much candy, that we decided we will take about half of it for a Halloween Party/Scary Movie night. The rest we are sending to soldiers or soldiers also deployed overseas. My little brother is here in
Afghanistan as well, so we sent a box to him. Another soldier’s father is in Iraq, so we sent him a little something. And finally, one soldier’s wife is also deployed to Iraq, while he’s deployed here, so she’s getting some candy and then us girls threw in a little extra girlie stuff we had aquired.
Things are going well here. The weather continues to get cooler. Yesterday was the first time since early this year that I’ve seen snow fall on the mountain tops, I was very excited. Also, this morning I saw my breath for the first time in awhile.
Take care and thank you so much for your support.
