Hi, Erik,
Can you tell us what day you are actually leaving, and can you provide me with the name of an individual in the clinic that I can send another box of goodies to in case you are already gone. I will package it up for mailing tomorrow after Wade and Danny go home. Did you get a name for my LDS young lady? Love, Mom

We have had no internet (or power) overnight, just came on a minute ago. We’ll talk later, but looks like that one is on a school night…

I love the noodle toes on that little lizard, there’s no way to transport those things home? =[ So cute. Strangely, I think its because he resembles mimba ever so slightly. anyways, im trying low carbs too but I pretty much let my self down with a bowl of cereal everyday. theres something about milk and cereal. im excited for you to come home, dad and eat cereal with us on saturday mornings.

Melissa thanks, you are so nice to say that. Some days I honestly didn’t do such an unbelievable job; some days I watched more TV than usual and just sort of got through hoping I could fake it unlike so many genuine-article military wives out there (i.e. my good friend Renee) who do everything …. cut their kids hair, mow the grass, make dinner for 6, fix a toilet, change the oil on the van-with one hand tied behind their back! etc etc. etc. Unfortunately I can’t fake all of that. However, now that I think about it, I did learn to backwash the pool…(with Erik coaching me through the process on Skype-if that counts for anything)

You too are one of those people who has also that ability…to overcome hard things chucked at you hard!!

Mit,

You, too, have a real letter on its way to (along with Caroline and Becky). BY the time you get it, I will be just days away…
