Howdy Again!


Hey everybody! I though that I might drop a line and a photo to tell everyone hello and let you all know that everything is going well. This is a paicture of me in my "full battle rattle." We had the luxruy of getting to go to a monestery that was built in the fourth century. It was a fantastic trip. My time appears to getting short in Iraq and I will soon be home to visit with family and friends. The time sure has gone quickly. I have learned a lot on my tour and have been extremely impressed with the prowess and talent of my collegues. The 399th CSH has been blessed with a great group of providers and everyone is better off because of it.

The other picture is at the monestery with Dr. Heathcock(Radiology) and Dr. Apostle(Emergency Medicine). We're actually standing on the ceiling. Sturdy, Huh?

Let me just let you all know that I am doing well. Your prayers have helped me greatly. I want to publicly acknowledge the greatness and accomplishments of my beloved Lady. She is absolutley the best! What a beautiful baby girl, so very precious and all without the presence of her husband. I really admire you and can't wait to see you again. Thanks for being my best friend! I love you Lady!
Last, is a picture of me doing what I do. I hope everyone is happy and is enjoying the gift of the spirit during this special season. Be nice to everyone and help out when and where you can.

I miss you.......and........I'll see you soon!

It's neat to see the pictures of you in different places, especially of you in your surgeon garb! Thank you for serving your country, Man. You are a great example to all of us. Thanks for being such a great big brother!

Good to hear from you and to see that you look OK. No more tours of ancient ruins! Too many wacko's hiding around the corners. Stay on base, help those in need and keep your head down!
Really lookin' forward to having someone to watch the lousy last place Flyer's with.
God speed,
Jim

It is great to hear how you are doing there. It was also awesome to talk to you after Thanksgiving. I'm glad you are doing well. Thank you for the pictures. Conner always likes to see your pictures. I showed your pictures to Miyake today and he said it was good to see that you were actually working there!

Wow! So good to see these pictures of you. You look great! You are amazing, and you have an amazing wife! She is something else. I am so glad that we have your darling family in our lives. Each night, my kids pray for "Ainsley's dad". Don't know how it came to be just Ainsley, we're trying to include baby Piper now too. She is beautiful. Can't wait till you can be home with the people who love you most! AS
