Half-Way There!!

We have finally reached the half-way point of J's deployment!! YEAH! It has gone fast yet it has gone slow. These last 2 months will hopefully fly by with all the busyness I will have with school...I did not think they could make us more busier than we already have been.
J is doing great and is keeping busy too and says the time is going by fairly quickly. I spoke to him last night and they are making plans for their "regatta" they are having right before Thanksgiving. They have to have a team of, I believe he said 4, and they have to build a boat out of cardboard and see who can get across the pool the fastest or just get across period. He is trying to get the exact specs/rules to see what can and can not be used for their raft. So he seemed pretty excited for this. Over the past several weeks they have been building things...the latest being a bookcase, then a backboard for the dartboard I sent (some people are having a bit of a hard time hitting the dartboard itself LOL!) and they have built a card table. So hopefully he will be able to send some pics from the regatta that will be taking place on 22 November.
Please continue to keep him in your prayers as well as our country and the other troops deployed!
