Almost December!

Hello!

I just wanted to write a quick note to let everyone know that Brad made it back to Gahzni earlier this month and has been busy getting ready for his replacements to arrive. His replacements should arrive in a couple of weeks. So, we are on the down hill slope!

We hope that you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. As it is the season for giving please consider ordering gifts from Overstock.com this year. This website gives you the opportunity to make donations and purchase products where the proceeds go directly to the Wounded Warrior Project. For more information on this great program go to http://www.overstock.com/woundedwarriorproject

I hope that you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving! Please continue to keep our men and women overseas and in harms way in your thoughts and prayers.

November is here!

Hello to all!
I apologize for not keeping the blog updated in the month of October, which turned out to be a very busy month. Brad came home on leave the first part of October! We had a wonderful time visiting friends and family and even took a trip to California. We visited San Francisco, Sanoma, and Lake Tahoe. All were fun and very beautiful places. I will make sure to post some of our pictures on our next post.
Unfortunately, we did recieve bad news while Brad was home. While the agricultural team was on a mission, an IED struck one of the vehicles and two soldiers were killed and two were injured. All four are men that Brad worked closely with while he was over in Afghanistan.
I am happy to report that the injured soldiers are on the road to recovery and are doing much better. Please pray for these men as they recover from their injuries. Also, please pray for the young men's families who experienced an incredible loss.
Brad is making his way back to Afghanistan to complete his mission and he will be home in the early part of January. Please pray for his safety as well as for the safety of all of our men and women who are overseas and in harm's way.
