{Sgt. Sugarlump Arrival}

August 19, 2008

andrewrank

Andrew is finally here after more than 24 hours of plane hopping. I was able to see him yesterday – thus the yucky picture…hope to get some better shots. Thankful for all the prayers and well wishes for his safe journey. He had to go buy clothes yesterday so he had things to wear while here (other than his army uniform)…looking forward to spending some time with my son….the top picture was taken in Iraq when Andrew received his new rank. :)

{Go Blue Drew!}

August 14, 2008


My Sergeant “Sugar Lump” is on his way…HOME!!! My “Go Blue Drew”!!!! It has been 10 long months since I have seen my dearest son since his deployment to Iraq. This photo was the last I took of him in Georgia when we said good-bye. He leaves Iraq today…and hopefully will arrive in Germany sometime tomorrow or over the weekend…everything depends on weather (sandstorms this time of year) and flights.
I am a mess…excited, scared, relieved, and have had a stress headache all week to go with it!

I bet Andrew is beyond excited. He can take real showers, sleep, and eat REAL food! He said all he wants to do when he comes home is “REST” …and that he deserves! I will keep you posted when he arrives. Please say a few prayers he has a safe journey back to Michigan and he will be with his family for “18 days” of deserved REST!!!

Andrew was recently promoted to the rank of Sergeant and I finally have some new pictures to share (tagged from myspace of course!) Andrew was dubbed “Sgt. Sugar Lump” by the ladies at 2peas. :) I made 2 layouts as part of a stamping challenge and used the photos, and also wanted to share his company and one with the school children that they are involved with. They have sponsored the school, supplying books, art supplies, and sports equipment. They were able to supply the soccer team with uniforms for each student! Good things do come from the bad. Just thought I would share!

{In Memory of a fallen Soldier}

May 25, 2008

In rememberance of those that have served our country and lost their lives.

“If I leave here tommorrow,

Will you still remember me?

‘Cause I’m as free as a bird now…

And this bird will never change…”

I received an email that a soldier was killed within my son’s company on Friday in Iraq. There were also 3 other soldiers wounded. A pressure plate IED with 200 pounds of HME explosive underneath the road took his life. A tree will be planted for PFC Norris at the tree memorial in Fort Stewart, Georgia. A tree is planted for every soldier of the Army’s 3rd Infantry Division lost to war.

Please keep the affected families as well as all of our soldiers in your prayers.
