Sleeping Well...

Just to note, I can only speak on Josh's behalf, meaning I am not aware of any soldiers who are traveling with him. I do know that the unit has sent a group home already and that Josh is in the second group, but I do not know anyone that is in the group with him or even a number of people from his unit that are traveling with him.

I received a phone call this morning from Josh - still is Kyrgyzstan, but doing really well. He said that he slept wonderfully last night, as I did, along with the rest of our families! Obviously, no new information that he can share. He did say that they "aren't doing much". A group of soldiers (not affiliated with him) had left, so he was able to move to the bottom bunk which was really exciting for him, as he had been on the top bunk since they doubled up at Camp Phoenix.

He was comparing the food to Camp Phoenix. Not really any better or worse, but he said it was different because it was a different contractor. Still talking about the full-size candy bars that they get for dessert!

It's cold and snowy there -- in the mid-20s. I told him "Welcome Home!" and that we were in the 20s with forecast for 8 - 14 inches of snow today! He was excited, as he was hoping for a white Christmas/return home. He said that they were all excited to see the snow because it reminded them all of home.

Where they are at is a big air force base, and there are NY Air Guard people there, so several of the people that are with him are actually running into people that they know. All in all he is doing well.

Again, he didn't share any new information, but at least we know that he is there and doing well.

Until next time...
