I haven’t had the heart to post about Andrew going back to Iraq. He left on Friday and I know his heart was very heavy. It was for all of us. I did not see him as much as I would have liked to – but I think he knows his Mama loves him very much.
He will be there until February/March 2009…and I pray that God will continue to protect him. Here are two of the pictures that I scanned from film Andrew developed while he was here.
I am officially a full time student. I have decided at the ripe old age of 44 to go into Visual Communications. Tomorrow I start – and I am excited and scared! :) I will still be working at the school – but 3 days a week so I can devote more time to studying (and hopefully art ;))…hope to enjoy my new change in life! If you don’t see me blogging much – it’s because I am studying ;) but I hope to eek some me time in along the way!
Good luck in your classes – how exciting!
Hi Nancy… just popped in to catch up and say Hi:) I'm back blogging again and now it seems you will be blogging less with your studying. I hope you will enjoy it thoroughly and well done on taking such a huge step… I wish you every success and I'm sure you will do very well :)
Sad for you that Andrew is returning to Iraq but I wish him Godspeed and will keep him in my thoughts.
hugs

Nancy, have a lot of fun with your new study! And i hope that you have some little time left to make beautiful art!
I'am thinking of Andrew, that he will savely return from Iraq. It's a long time, febr. 2009, my heart is also with you!!!
Hugs

Oh Nancy,
My heart goes out to you. I have two sons and I couldn't imagine what it would be like to have them go to a place like Iraq. My prayers will be with you and him for his safe return
Praying that your son will be safe and feel accomplished with his tasks in Iraq. Hope your new endevors will bring you joy and be an added distraction to keep your mind off all your concerns. Hugs.
Oh Nancy! I knew it was going to be hard when Andrew had to go back to Iraq. I've been thinking about you so much! {{{{ BIG HUGS!! }}}}
But you go girl! I'm tickled to read about your latest – returning to classes. I'll look forward to reading all about it once you are well into the "grind."
What an exciting venture you are embarking on! Godspeed.
And, Godspeed to your lovely soldier indeed, he is in my morning prayers.
Oh Nancy… Big hugs to you and Andrew… I hope time flies between now and Feb. for your family…
School? Oh my.. That is HUGE! Good for you! But I am sure it will take most of your free time..
And, I saw today on 2peas Nazzy has a message for you.. something about you getting to 6,000 posts? or more?
God bless your son. He is a hero!
My heart goes out to you and your handsome son. I am sorry that he has to go back to Iraq. I am thankful that we have men and women like him willing to serve our country. God bles your whole family.
I think it's great that you are going back to school. Congrats on that!

Nancy, how are your classes going?
I left you an award on my blog. Your blogs is such an inspiration to me, be it through your paper artistry or personal stories. I thoroughly enjoy and do appreciate all you share on your blog so I wanted to leave you this award.
Nancy congratulations on going back to school – bravo!! You and I have the same number of years to our lives :)
As for your boy Andrew, he is in my prayers and so are you. Please God he finishes his tour and comes home asap – Feb./March is not so far away, let's hope it passes quickly. I look forward to hearing he's safely home and based here in the USA, or at the very least Germany. How long is he signed up for?
