Boys & Their Toys
I'm not sure if I'll ever get used to the fact of guns everywhere. I just left Davis Hall where I volunteer and there were a whole bunch of soldiers carrying 2-4 weapons each. Guess they're going off somewhere to practice shooting - who the heck knows.
Anyway, Michael started Jumpmaster school yesterday. He left at 3:30 am and didn't get home until 7:45 pm. By the time he got home I was ready for bed. I made him a quick dinner and then he had to repack his pack that is lovingly named "Alice" for today. We saw each other for about 2 hours and then we both passed out. At least I was able to have lunch with him today but we're not leaving post probably until 7pm again - it's 3:45 right now.
I'm leaving here on Saturday, the 26th, to hopefully get my Visa. Well I really don't have a choice - I need to get it this time. I haven't heard anything about the job yet, which is completely frustrating me. They haven't hired anyone, but I've been making myself more noticable around the office. Tomorrow we have Arts & Crafts and we're making pinatas, and then Thursday is our Community Booth which I've got everything done for it. So we'll see what's going on with the job.
We love and miss you all. Michael does send his love and I'm not just saying that. Steve if you see this, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Uncle Jim & Aunt Carolyn - just wanted to say hi! Hope all is well down under! :)

Hi, Mike and Katie...trust all is well in Italy. We have been traveling all over Australia meeting people and seeing this beautiful country. It has been quite an adventure! This weekend we head for Tasmania for meetings and then back to Melbourne.
We are really missing the whole family! So, we thought we would send you our love and let you know that all is well in the land down-under. Drop us a line.
Much love, Uncle Jim and Aunt Carolyn

Hey Katie- just caught up on your postings. I have been in Russia for the last two weeks and just getting back into 'normal' life. Hope you're doing well and the job comes through. Tell Michael I said hello and I'll catch up with you soon. ~Karen~

Can't wait to see you. We need to plan a big girls' night out - especially with Patti leaving us
