Update on the Mister!!

Randans been gone a little over a month now! Boy has it been a long month! I got a call from him last week! He sounded wonderful. Things are pretty crazy/scary over there and even still he was positive about it all. (thats my husband for ya though!) from the sounds of it he pretty much is just a mountain man! ha ha! they eat MRE's and cook what food gets sent to them from family over a fire. He told me all excited that his best meal has been Bear Creek Potato soup that I sent him and they added Velveta Cheese to it and something else I can't remember (I wanted to gag when he told me) ha ha! He's been a month now without a shower and said it doesn't look like he'll be getting one anytime soon (gonna have to hose him off when he gets home ha ha) but is excited that he doesn't have to shave much ha ha! To say the least he said the people are very different (I probably shouldn't say much about this, and I wasn't told much about it either) I think there weather is a lot like ours, he said its been hot but now is cooling off and it gets pretty cold at night. He told me he's been taking pictures but has no way to get them to me, (I'll have to share when he gets home!) 3/5 is doing a great job over there, we get letters from the Commanding Officer every so often and he says he couldn't be prouder of them, that they're doing what they were sent to do and they're doing a great job of it! Randan said he appreciates all the prayers and support from friends and family and that it is definitely felt, to keep them coming!
I sure do miss that man and life is so much different without him, but I am SO SO proud of him! What great men we have over there!
Again, thank you, thank you so much for all your love and support during this time. It means the world to me. I don't know what I'd do without friends and family! Love you all!
one down six to go!!
