New News Report

This is a New News Report from yours truely. It seems that they've figured out a strenght of mine is good driving so they've kept me busy with that every chance they get so I have had little time to do my office work or update my blog properly.

*Fairhope K-1 Center* has the cutest little students ever! The teachers got the students to make little pumpkins and cards and drawings for all of us for Halloween. My roommate and I put them on the wall just yesterday and everyone LOVES it! And my personal favorite is a pumpkin with a scary looking blob on the front that says inside, "Dear Soldier, Thanks you for killing all those mean people. You gotta be brave to do that." This cracks me up. And for the record I have personally shown it to everyone who walks in my office and they too have gotten a good giggle.

Next, My husband is now is Baghdad. So close, but so far away... The good thing is that we have been talking most nights. He is not having to live in a tent and has proper facilities to bathe. I am glad. And I still love him more than anything :)

A good friend of mine -- Candice has just gotten married. She looks beautiful in the pictures taken on the beach! Here is the link to A Thousand Words Photography where her pictures are posted. She married a yankee named Todd. I have met him a few times and am happy to see them share their lives together. Congrats you two!

Family, the deadline on sending Christmas things is the end of November to make sure they make it here on time. You aren't getting anything from me this year except what I've already sent and a few more things. So enjoy your tea sets and t-shirts from Iraq. We'll have a proper Christmas later... If there is something that you wish you had from here (and you must be very specific) let me know and I will try to find it. I can't make any promises that I'll be coming back for any reason after I leave :)

Hope you are happy, your health is good, and you are wealthy (at least in some way: relationship, friends, family, $$$, homes, career, karma, knowledge, etc)
