Heading to Virginia...

January 26th, 2007 (150 views )

Well, I just got my orders and I am headed to Virginia for an unspecified amount of time - I'd guess a few weeks or so. I'm thrilled. I was stationed there for my officer basic course back in 2001 and enjoyed it, plus my mother's cousin lives just up the road, so hopefully I'll get some family time on the weekends.

I will miss many of the new friends I've made at Camp McCrady - it's amazing how the Army can throw people together and you can forge a stronger bond with strangers in two weeks than you can with people you've known for years in the civilian world. Please pray for all my new friends and colleagues as they head out to different (and in most cases, dangerous) parts of the world...

Hi Marissa...

I am glad that you are stationed in Virginia, here in the US. I enjoyed reading why Mike is a great husband and it is evident that you picked wisely! :) Congratulations again and good luck!

Hi, there. Getting ready for work, late shift today. I enjoy readig your comments. It was good to visit Mike the other evening- he has developed into a good cook. Your little bench looks good in the apartment- it can be pulled up to the table for seating. I'm glad you are close to relatives there, and hope you do get to see them. You and all the others are in my prayers, sweetie. Love you dearly, Tanya
