October in Ramadi



Micah is doing well. This is a picture from about a month ago when he was in Kuwait. He has begun his work in Ramadi, though we don't know exactly what that is. Though there has been an escalation of action in the area he said where he is, he has been out of harms way. He said that they work hard, eat well and then fills his down time with a college course he's taking online, emails and messin around. They did get their tv/dvd but are still waiting for internet in their rooms. He can get to internet access in a common area that he can go to. He said so far time seems to be moving fast. One month down - 11 to go. He is on the edge of every thought and his calls are priceless. His voice sounded introspective and focused. He loves getting emails and mail; cards, letters and packages. He is thankful for all your encouragement and prayers. So far it has taken about a week for letters to arrive and 8-10 days for packages. Thank you for all you all are doing to uphold Micah during this time - till he gets home.

Hey Micah...

Another week has gone by (Colts are now 8-0, but I don't want to brag since it was Patriots that we beat... poor Uncle Scott) and the weather in Indy has been kind of warm...in the 60s and for Indy you know that's kind of warm.

Nothing really new or exciding is happening.

I hope you are doing well and each week that goes by is another week closer to you coming home.

Happy Veterans Day...We'll be flying our flag at home for you this Saturday!

Take care of yourself...We love you and miss you very much!!

Love ya,

Crazy Aunt Kathy

Just to let you know I am thinking about you. I write to you often but I don't know where the messages go when I push "send". I will keep trying.
You and others like you are always in our thoughts and again we thank you for all you do. Take care. This is your Grandmom speaking!
