For my Grandmother

So I spoke with my grandmother over the weekend and she spoke sternly to me about how I've not updated my blog and that she was sick of seeing the Thanksgiving post. So this is for you, Grandma!!! MUAH!!!

I wanted to share a few pictures that Michael sent me of his Aid Station. I sent Christmas lights to help decorate it a bit. This is not just the aid station, but he also lives here. I think that's what the curtains are for. As you can sort of tell, there's alot of 'things' in here.

Christmas was wonderful. It was very different from last year. Last year we went to Australia to spend Christmas and New Years with Michael's Uncle Jim and Aunt Carolyn. This year I spent it with my parents, Andrew & Patti. It was great to be able to spend 4 days with them. Even though Michael wasn't here, he sent presents and I was able to speak with him on Christmas. We are so looking forward to next year, being stateside for Christmas and spending it with family and friends. He is doing well. He received 15 packages Christmas day and about 10 the Friday before. I just want to say thank you to all who have sent him packages, not just for the holiday, but all year long.

I wish you all the best for 2008. Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.
