azredhead57 Posts: 1,651 Joined: 2003/04/11	2003/10/09, 05:07 PM We just got his itinerary and he is leaving Sunday morning for Iraq. We've got a jillion things to do between now and then so I will probably not be online for a few days. Everyone here is always so supportive, so if you would say a quick prayer for us it would be greatly appreciated. I think I'm more worried about the trip, than his actually being there. Thanks all. -------------- ~Victoria~ ...There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.--Beverly Sills

rickyshot Posts: 153 Joined: 2003/05/13	2003/10/10, 07:43 PM I said a prayer for him. Is he on a special mission or something?
azredhead57 Posts: 1,651 Joined: 2003/04/11	2003/10/13, 03:27 PM Thanks everyone. Saw him off yesterday morning at 6:30 and just found out that he was safe on the ground in Amman, Jordan early this morning. He will be there for a couple days before going on to Baghdad. Yes, saxman, he will have access to a computer, we just don't know how often. He will be staying with our Air Force at the Baghdad Intl Airport. They have taken it over and built a good sized facility there. We know they just put in a pool, but the first thing he wants to find out is if they have a gym! No, ricky it's not really a special mission. More like a civil service or reserves job. It is a private company out of DC. He will be doing airport security inside the terminal. -------------- ~Victoria~ ...There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.--Beverly Sills

azredhead57 Posts: 1,651 Joined: 2003/04/11	2003/10/14, 03:52 PM Thanks for the support, prayers and kind words. He signed on for a year, but will get to come home for 2 weeks around the 6 month point. -------------- ~Victoria~ ...There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.--Beverly Sills

azredhead57 Posts: 1,651 Joined: 2003/04/11	2003/10/23, 04:02 PM I'm good. A little lonely. Thanks Kirby. He has access to a computer so we have been able to IM a couple of times and email everyday. That makes it easier than waiting for a letter, and phone calls are outrageous. It is harder on him since it is a strange place and new experiences. I still have my normal life for the most part. My son and his wife are here visiting right now and that has been a nice distraction. -------------- ~Victoria~ ...There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.--Beverly Sills

azredhead57 Posts: 1,651 Joined: 2003/04/11	2003/10/29, 03:32 PM Thanks, Laney. That has always been my mantra. Like Mother Theresa though, I just wish he didn't trust me so much...lol. -------------- ~Victoria~ ...There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.--Beverly Sills

laneylou Posts: 277 Joined: 2003/10/21	2003/12/08, 02:13 PM Dammit you guys are making me cry. STOP THIS! hehe That's wonderful that you can talk back and forth to each other. Even though I know it's not the same as being together. Anyway, if you two keep talkin all this mushy stuff toegether and makin me cry don't be at all surprised if I jump on here and break out into karaoke. I've been known to do that when I get all emotional and stuff. ;) hehe I'll try to hold things back and be a good girl but sometimes the emotions just fly and I'm off and there's no stoppin me.
azredhead57 Posts: 1,651 Joined: 2003/04/11	2003/12/09, 01:22 AM Yes it is a good thing. Thank goodness for modern technology. So far he has only gotten to call home twice in almost 2 months. I think if that was the only time we could talk to each other we would go crazy. Feel free to sing anytime. I like a woman who can belt out a song....lol. -------------- ~Victoria~ ...Do not be discouraged; everyone who got where he is, started where he was.--anon ...There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.--Beverly Sills

	2003/12/09, 10:46 AM Laneylou, my schnauzer likes to sing too . Can she join in? Terrible voice but enthusiastic. She always makes me cry. -------------- Living well is the best revenge. Charlie
bardrock69 Posts: 59 Joined: 2003/04/30	2003/12/09, 01:33 PM Yeah this really sucks that there isnt more phones around here to call from. It was so good to hear my wifes voice. Thank God for the internet. It is kind of weird, it has only been 2 months, but it seems like years since I have seen you. I can hardly wait til April when I get to visit for 2 weeks. It is going to be very special.
laneylou Posts: 277 Joined: 2003/10/21	2003/12/09, 01:53 PM Sure thing Charlie. :) hehehe My Grandparents' schnauzer loves to sing too. His name is Otto. hehe ... Bardrock69 I've always thanked God for the internet too. That's how my sweetie and I met. Well we do have to thank Al Gore too since he "DID" invent the internet, right? LOL !!! We've always said if it hadn't been for Al Gore we never would have met. hehehehe <EG> We met on yahoo chat just a little over 2 years ago. I went over to his house so he could make me dinner on our second date and never went home. Well, I did long enough to move my stuff to his house about 2 months later. hehehe We haven't been apart except for 2 weeks in 2 years. One to go to my sisters in Indy where she had her baby, and one to go to my sisters in Colorado where she got married. Last time I was gone the neighbor witch tried to attack him so we moved and got away from her and I'm never going anywhere without my Sweetie again. LOL heheheheheheh

Hey Bardrock, the time goes by fast. Before you know it you will be home still wearing shower shoes in the shower. I got home in May and wish they would send me back. I know my girlfriend doesn't like it, but she told me that she can sleep better at night knowing that there is people like us out there fighting for our country.
