Wedding Pics

Wedding pictures are up over at the wedding site for anyone who's interested.

No address for Jim yet, they're being slow about it. He's doing fine, but very busy. He gets to help develop a training matrix for the battalion and help instruct once they actually get going, so his life is overrun with meetings right now.

Thats all I know for now, I'll pass along more info as I get it.

Personal Update and New SOP

For those of you still following this blog, there has been a lot going on in the past couple of weeks that hasn't been posted yet.

First off, this is Sara. Jim's deployment date got moved up to April 21st, so he's going to be unable to update himself for a while. We're still not sure if he's going to be able to have personal internet over there. So, for the time being, he's going to give me updates whenever he can, and I'll post them here for your reading pleasure. We're hoping for about once a week, so be looking for that.

Several things have happened along with the accelerated deployment date. He and I got married on April 8th, so we're officially old people now. The engineering department at Clemson is letting him graduate; they're going to mail his diploma to his parents. We also found out for sure that he's going to Iraq, somewhere around Baghdad. His orders have him active duty for 602 days (as of now), but we're hoping for about 17 months.

I think thats the big stuff. As soon as I get an address for him, I'll post it. It'll mean a lot to him just to get even short notes, so please send him something. I'll make sure to update as often as I can, and feel free to ask any questions you may have.
