Brotherly Love Pt. 2!!!

As Anne mentioned in an earlier post I got to ventrue down to Tilli, Iraq to see my brother. We got to spend about 14hrs together. Not a whole lot of time but time together none the less. It was a fun time and he showed me around his base and what he did there. But in the end I had to return to LSAA and he well got to go back to the great US and A. By the way Eli if you see this thanks again for the sweet fat loots you gave me.

Well we may be half a world away from Lincoln, NE. But thanks to my wonderful wife we still have team spirt. After I put up the flag I got many commets on it. And I've seen more than one person take a picture of it. So good job on the sweet flag Anne!!! :)

Brotherly Love

I'm sure I have told most of you.. but if not, Ty and Eli (his brother) were able to spend some time together a few weeks ago. They spent quality time playing video games :) Eli has now been sent home.. His extension didn't ever get started.. He is in Missouri debriefing right now, and will hopefully be back in Nebraska this weekend...

As for Ty, i'm still waiting for pictures to put up on here. So you'll have to continue to use your imagination until they get sent. He did say that they have been really busy lately - going on many more missions that usual. He also lost all of his socks when he was doing his laundry (they didn't get returned to him) So, he's been buying socks like crazy.

Thats all I know for now. Anne.

Hello everyone.. its Anne. I thought i would just post a quick update since Ty is having some troubles getting Internet. He is continually working on getting Internet in his room, but keeps running into roadblocks. Hopefully he'll have it up soon, so he can update everyone himself!

In the past few weeks, he has had to get his top wisdom teeth out. That has kept him out of missions (yes! for me...but not for him!) He said the days go so much faster when they're out on missions.

He loves getting mail -- thank you for all that has been sent! He did give up candy & snacks for Lent, so keep that in mind if you send something in the next few weeks! I tried to tell him that 1) He's not Catholic, and 2) He's sacrificing his life, so giving up candy should be the least of his worries... but he insists on it!.. So.. kudos to Ty!

Keep up the prayers... they're needed!
