Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. I got to talk to Jeff today on Skype and he was doing well. He actually got a Thanksgiving dinner so it made it feel more like a "special" day than just another day in Afghanistan. This time of the year is proving to be especially difficult for Jeff and I. The holidays are something that we have always spent together, and now that we are in our new house, we should be celebrating our first Christmas together there, waking up together on Christmas morning. Please remember to think of Jeff and all of our service men and women this holiday season. I know that it will help Jeff out tremendously to have comments and messages left on here for him to read. Remember, if you want to get a box to him by Christmas (hopefully), please send it out by December 4th. Sending love to all and thanks for all of the blessings in our life.

Hi Shelly and Jeff:
I am writing a second time today (for some reason, my password is not being recognnized -arghh !!!! so i had to start over)...
Anyway, I just wanted to tell you both how great it was to talk to you yesterday. Jeff - your phone call was such a treat for me and I always love to talk with you. Shelly, of course you know that I love to hear from you, too.... it's good to hear what's new and to get caught up on your lives. Anyway, I know that the coming weeks will be rough for you both; it's never easy to be apart from the one you love, especially on holidays, but try to stay focused on the positive. You know that all of your families and friends are thinking of you both and sending positive prayers and strength your way. Remember that on a rough day, either one of you can write or call any one of us and we will help you by listening and supporting you in any way we can.
Anyway,I want you both to know how very proud you both make me - I think of you both every day and say a prayer for safety and strength for each of you; you both deserve all the best.
Love and Prayers Always,
Mom
Thanks Mom, It was good to talk to you too. I am sure Thanksgiving dinner was awesome. Food is generally awesome if Aunt Ann is involved. Take care and I will talk to you soon. Love Jeff
