He's leavin' on a jetplane...

don't know when he'll be back again...

He left us this morning at the airport. We all met (Mom, Dad, Zac, Nikki, me, Brad, and Evaline) at the airport to bid him adieu. It was difficult to say the least. Mom cried, I cried and Brad said Nic even got choked up. So it was very rough, but it's what a soldier does. So he's headed to Dallas (hopefully he'll have better luck this time around) and from there onto Germany (I think) and then to Kuwait and then to Baghdad and then to Taji to get back into the mix.

Keep the letters/cards/boxes coming...I'm sure after being home for a while he'll really enjoy some care packages and well wishes. Also, as a side note, he doesn't have time to look at photos on myspace or on here...so if you take GI Nic pics, burn them to DVD and send them to him in a card or package. He can watch those on his XBOX whenever he has time. He said this would be much more convenient. He has 45 minutes online at most and he said he barely has time to reply to people...so keep that in mind. :-)

Thank you so much to those of you who had time and were able to visit him while he was in. It meant the world to him and to us as well. That's all I've got for now.
