Deployment Update

We are almost two months into this deployment! Yay! Bud is doing great, and we have been lucky enough to be able to talk a lot lately. He and Tim got their own tent and a computer and phones to do their reports on, so he has been able to call A LOT and it has been awesome! Hearing his voice puts me in a fabulous mood and plasters a smile on my face for at least 24 hours.

A couple weeks ago, the combat photographer went out with Bud and Tim and got some awesome pictures of them. Just looking at all of Bud's gear makes me tired...I can't imagine carrying around all that extra weight all the time! He said one day they did have to run to a call...my incredibly in shape husband admitted he was REALLY tired and REALLY sweaty by the time he got there after running in all his gear! :)

Bud finally started getting his packages this week--between him and Tim I think they got about 10 boxes in two days. :) Two very spoiled (and very deserving) guys! Since it is just the two of them in their tent, he said they have food everywhere, two tables just full of it. They took everything out and organized it all so that a like things are in the same box. :) You think they have been a little slow with work this week? ha. He is healthy, eating well, getting plenty of rest and has been able to call almost every day for the past week--I couldn't ask for much more!
