Just pluggin' along!

Sorry for the delay in writing. It's safe to assume that no news is good news though, for the record. :-)

Nic was promoted to specialist a couple of weeks ago. He's very proud of himself and super happy for the pay increase as it just sits earning interest in his bank account waiting on him to come home to it. haha. They did a little ceremony over there where the commanding officer (I think) comes up to each promotee and rips off their PFC tags and replaces it with the new SPC (specialist) tags.

He's well over the hump now. Just 7 months to go now!! He told me in an email that he wanted to make sure I know how much he appreciates all of our boxes and cards we send him. He said it's hard to show via email how much he loves them, but he said it makes his week when he gets them. So keep up the good work people! I'm still updating the movie list with anything anyone emails me to add to the list.

I am also adding to his boxes each month a DVD with pictures and videos of Miles so that Nic won't miss a beat. He can see him growing just like the rest of us. Starting with month 2, the one I just sent out, I added a place at the end of the DVD for video messages from family members. So if you'd like to do one let me know and I can explain to you how to do it with your digital camera OR we can meet someplace and I can video you. I'm happy to do this for you so just let me know. :-)

That's all for now. I promise when I get back to work I'll be better about updating for you. Thanks for reading.
