Tent Mates

Got a short email from Chris today which found him in good spirits. He had received packages from Aunt June and Jaleen and was very excited! It's amazing how much the care packages mean and how they really pump him up. Thanks to all of you that are helping him through this tough time. He said the conditions aren't too bad. He works 12 - 16 hour days so he doesn't have a lot of free time. What little free time he does have, he enjoys going to the gym and working out. He said that he has a few camel spiders that are trying to be tent mates but they are small so it's not too bad.

He will be traveling back to Camp Victory in a few days. He is looking forward to the trip, as he calls it his vacation to civilization. It looks like he will be getting the opportunity to go several times during his tour.

Internet access is still very limited so the emails are few and far between. We continue to send him his sports updates, Grey's Anatomy updates and lots of love each day. I can't wait until internet access is more plentiful and we can keep in touch better. Right now, we are just grateful for the communication we have. Some news is definitely better than no news!
