Happy Birthday Mikey!

Today is the day that Mikey turns another year older. He is 29 today and I realized that this year he gets to celebrate his birthday for 32 hours. Wow! He gets his normal 24 hours during the central time zone, plus the 8 hours that he is ahead of us in whatever time zone that is! I know, technically he still only gets 24 hours, but I'm going with my thoughts instead of reality! (normal me, I know)

So, Happy 29th Birthday mister Mikey! I love you, miss you and am giving you several virtual hugs and kisses. I hope you have enjoyed your 32 hours of turning 29! And remember, next year for your 30th we'll be in the same country! I can't wait!!! Another milestone down...

Love you honey...

A Familiar Face in an Unfamiliar Place

Check it out...it's Mikey! He finally took the "typical Iraq photo" and sent it to me to share.

He is spending more time flying then he initally thought he would be. His days are busy with either flying or his other daily routine (not sure what that includes!). He has a 12 hour shift that usually runs longer. He is enjoying all his packages and feels very spoiled. I can tell getting mail makes him smile, I can hear it in his voice when I talk to him. Thank you to everyone for supporting us in the many ways each of you do. I will continue to update you as time progresses. For now, enjoy seeing his smiling face again! And Happy New Year!

Mikey's coming home this year!!!

Isn't he adorable? I know, adorable is the wrong word when looking at a photo full of weaponry but I just had to say it!

tata for now,
