We lucked out here, though, there was a lot of variety and they really tried to dress things up a bit...they did butter sculptures that were good sized and they froze flowers and such in pans of ice, so those were kinda pretty as decor. Thank you, Grandma Johnson, for the stockings, I will be passing those out before Christmas, I'm sure the kids will love them. Unfortunately I won't be able to hand them out in person or get any pictures for you as we'll be driving and tossing--I think my gunner will enjoy that a bit; he tossed chem lights and munchies today for the first time and seemed the have a bit o fun. My mission schedule is a little busier than John's has been. We have mission every 5-ish days. I actually have been having a lot of fun! It's nice getting out; I equate it to camping, in that I don't get a shower everyday, eating is on the road and not often, you live out of a bag and sleep in a sleeping bag. Like John's team/squad, my platoon hasn't had any contact either, so that's a pretty good thing. We have had lots of problems on the road, though...all vehicle break downs. Lol!!! Mine twice, and a couple other trucks. Go Army equipment! Well, we did fall in on used equipment, but we really aren't doing too badly. In fact, we are slotted to get 5 new Caimen MRAPs for our company, so I can't complain too much. And our mechanics have been working 24 hour ops to get all 4 platoon's vehicles up to working standard. Well, that's probably good for now. I will try to update you again, soon. Lots of love, hugs and kisses, Tracy :-) Boy, is he right about the Turkey dinner!!!

Jake and Nicole have moved into their home in Boise. The kids seem to like it since they're sleeping through the night in their own beds. Good news for mom and dad! We found out that they live a just a few blocks from Kelly Youngman and his family. (Emily's brother) In fact, Brooke is in the same first grade class with Kari Youngman, Kelly's daughter. Small world. Nate will celebrate his 30th birthday on Monday, November 24. Jessica has a fun celebration planned for him. James Barron and Cole McKenzie celebrate their first birthdays this month. James celebrated his birthday in Mass. with Jason's family. The Barron's had a great trip! Here's a bit of a family update: Will is working hard at graduating at the top of his class at the Lineman College. We're proud of him and Nate for persevering at their respective schools. Nate continues to receive high scores on his course work. Kel is attending her ESL classes twice a week and she is doing great with her English. She loves to practice so send e-mail! Jared is preparing to go to a two week school in Little Rock, Arkansas, November 30. This will be his first separation from his new wife since their marriage. Dad and I decided to stay home for Thanksgiving this year. Jared and his family are coming. We're excited to have them here, enjoy their company and to show off our redecorating project upstairs. There's an open invitation to other family members who'd like to come! I hope Johnny and Tracy get to eat some turkey and stuffing for Thanksgiving with pumpkin pie for dessert. Grandma Johnson celebrated her 89th birthday Nov 17. Dad and I had the day off so we drove to Shoshone to take her to lunch. She appreciated the cards and phone calls she received from friends and loved ones. Grandma made about 50 mini Christmas stockings and filled them with candy to send to Iraq for Johnny to disburse to Iraqi children. Her next project is to make a box full to send to Tracy. Dad and I keep busy with Stor-n-Lock business, etc. We're thankful for our many blessings and pray daily for Heavenly Father's continued wathcare over our family. Love, MOM Dear Johnny and Tracy,
