Mail Call:

Well, the mail is still very bad here. I got a few nice things this week. First, a special thanks goes out to Jeanie Weeks for a GREAT care package. It was very tasty. Second, I got a package and a letter from Ann Henrie; both of which were sent in November. I also got a letter from Clyde and Marlene Kuhn that was sent in November. I am thankful that I got them at all.

The weather continues to be nice. February is definitely the month to visit Iraq. I am hoping to come home in a couple months, but there is always the chance that I will be extended, because my ability to draft PowerPoint is WAY better than the average guy's.
I am getting ready to go outside and see if I can catch part of the lunar eclipse that is tonight.
Maybe the Iraqis will see it as a sign that they all just need to get along. Hmmm, I doubt it.

Per chance that I should forget: Happy St. David's Day (March 1st) and Happy St. Patrick's Day. These are two of the many holidays that I have missed since being here. I will have to celebrate last year's and this year's St. Patty's Days.

Chad,
I was checking out your myspace page today, I have looked at it before but today I checked your blog which led me to this blog page....I just wanted to say....I hope you and all of your fellow soldiers know how much you all mean to us back over hear in the ole USA...Even though this country is divided on why,how,who,blah blah blah....I think we all agree that we want you all to be safe and to come home not totally messed up....You all risk your lives every day just being there and I really appreciate what you do! I pray for you and your friends to come home safely and to be able to have normal lives when you do return. I remember you as a little 4th grader and it is hard to see you as a grown man, and funny to even say it. Just know that I think of your safety and your wellbeing and hope you come home safe, soon! And know that people do care and think of you and your fellow soldiers.....Amanda
