You know how you begin to think the grass is always greener on the other side? Well, I'm sure that is how the boys (Marines) felt about living in Twentynine Palms. If you haven't been there, you aren't missing much. Ironically, he sent an e-mail to his girlfriend last night stating he feels as if he never left 29, because it's very similar there, on the other side of the world in Kuwait.

This past weekend, family and friends gathered to spend time with Chad as he readied to leave for Iraq. It was difficult for everyone to see Chad and his friends go. I know for most of us, the past few days have been spent with tears and Kleenex!

Abby (Chad's girlfriend) received an e-mail from Chad about 11:30 last night. He said that he is currently in Kuwait awaiting a flight out to Al Asad. In the meantime, they are doing "lots of loading and unloading of planes". We'll wait to see what we hear from him next.

On the other hand, we are still missing Steve, but he is almost done with his 2nd tour of duty. He will be coming home to see his little boy, family and friends soon! Please keep the both of them in your thoughts.
