Josh left a month ago today. At times it is hard to believe that it has already been a month, and then there are times, especially in the last week, when it feels like the year should be over with. Josh has been extremely busy for the past few weeks. We had a chance to catch up this weekend and there was so much that we wanted to share with each other that we were practically talking over one another. The excitement in each of our voices was very refreshing.
Josh continues to appreciate all of his "fan mail". Thursday should be a good mail day for him. With the holiday weekend, I have a small stack to mail to him this morning.
They were treated to steak dinner and COKE! on Saturday night and he said "it actually wasn't bad." And yes, he did take a few extra cans of soda with him! They eat MREs (Meals Ready to Eat) each day for lunch, unless they are at main post and have a chance to eat at the PX. He usually looks forward to dinner, as the MREs get boring really quickly. Here is a great link that I found about the 'ins and outs' of MREs. Depending on where they are in Afghanistan or what mission they are on, these meals could become a three-a-day affair! Thankfully, he has a nice supply of treats back in his tent with which he continues to role model appropriate kindergarten behavior and shares with his platoon!
