Jay left for the desert around 1 a.m. About 25 hours later arrived at a temporary location for a few days. He will hang out there to get acclimated to the weather as well as participate with some training. It sounds like the accommodations in Iraq are not the greatest. The phone and Internet services are just getting up and running, so I am believing communication is going to be minimal for the next 3-6 weeks. I have no expectations as far as communication.. this way I will jump for joy when he does call! The PX.. "shopping center" does not exist as far as I understand. I will know more once I hear it from Jay. I guess I will be mailing him everything he needs. Please Please send Jay cards, letters, and gift boxes. He loves to hear from everyone and hear about what everyone is doing.. send pictures of your families and pets, he loves it! The church signed a huge banner for Jay and the troops and as he read it he got a little emotional.. IT MEANS A LOT TO TO HIM TO GET MAIL!
Jay's address is listed below, please DO NOT ADD ANYTHING TO THE ADDRESS. IT NEEDS TO BE PRINTED JUST AS IT IS BELOW. if you are sending him a box, you will need to fill out a customs form at the post office, to send with the package. Flat rate boxes are available at the post office and are very reasonable, the weight limit is 20 pounds and trust me you can put a lot in there for 20 pounds. If you are planning on sending him a box please let me know so I do not send him the same stuff.

Yesterday I was laying down with Reign for a nap and I was thinking about Jay, I was crying and Reign took her Daddy doll and wrapped it in my arms. She then took the pacifier out of her mouth and started kissing my face.. kissing me on the nose, lips, cheeks. She was so sweet.
I just want to thank all the military families that I have met.. you are all an inspiration to me! and to the Langworthy, and Doyle families you have done so much for us, and I know that you truly care! GOD BLESS EACH OF YOU!
