Spoke with Michelle and Chris arrived safe. We also got an email from him and he's in Kuwait and bored and ready to go to Bagdade (sp) and go to work. His email address is chris.belvin@us.army.mil. He does not have anyone's email address because he can't use his email where he has email addresses stored.

The "30" CLUB

Happy Birthday to Cathy!! Welcome to the "30" Club. Only been a member a couple of days, but not liking it much right now. Hope you, Jeremy, & kids are doing well!

Belated Happy Birthday to Hannah!

And early happy birthday to Cathy.... and probably others. Isn't Richard Earl next week? I need a calendar of this stuff.

Chris

Chris, I was thinking about you and your family this morning, knowing that you were leaving soon but was not sure when. You know that the whole family will be praying for you and your whole family as I know it will be difficult for everyone. Be careful and stay alert to danger.

Ed has three doctors appointments this week. We go to the oncologist today, the gastro doctor on Wed and the radiology oncologist on Thursday. Of course he is looking forward to them all. Bright spot in the week is Cathy, Jeremy and babies are coming on Thursday night for a few days. Jeremy is cruising some land in the area so it was a good opportunity for us to see them.

Hope everyone has a good week.

Chris leaves tomorrow for Iraq for 15 months. We ask that you keep him and all of the other service men and women in your prayers. We have his address, but he says to wait to send anything until we get an email from him. Hope all are doing well.
