The latest


American Soldier says,

Hello everyone. It’s the Mrs. It’s been a while since the last post. So while the kids are busy and it’s quiet i thought i’d say hello and let you all know what we’ve been up to.

Christmas was wonderful! AS got the opportunity to come home for a few days. It was a great surprise for the children because they had no idea he was coming. And our families were equally excited as well. And his big gift, if you missed the previous post, was getting the Xbox 360. Now it’s sitting in a box waiting to be shipped to him.

New Years was not so eventful. We spent it at home watching TV. Just being able to have my husband home to bring in the new year was excitement enough.

And now he’s back to training. Only a short time left before he heads over seas. He is eagerly waiting for his time to go. With that, I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New year!

    Happy New Year AS and Mrs AS…I’m guessing spending the holiday together was the best present you could have had. The X Box must have paled in comparison. :wink:

    You’re all in my prayers.
