MJ made it to Iraq

Well, MJ finally made it to Iraq. I don't get to "talk" him much these days, but we do chat on Facebook. It amazes me that he is halfway around the world, and we can still chat.

Whats even more amazing, is he can chat with a bunch of us at once. He seems to be doing well, and thanks to one of the medics in his unit, we are getting a glimpse of life over there thru photos on Facebook. It is so nice to see where they sleep, eat, relax (even go to the bathroom). Sometimes we get more information than what we need :).

So, at this point, things are going well. He seems to have alot of down time. Getting ready to send a care package. The post office supplies flat rate boxes to mail over there. For $12.50 I got a pretty good size box to fill with whatever we want to send him. Whatever we can fit in the box for that price. Sending him some things to keep him busy, Skittles (his favorite) and some magazines. Also his sisters senior pic. I found some magnetic picture frames at the dollar store, which will be perfect for him to put on his locker and not take up to much space.

Apparently he is missing trees. His quote was "A tree here is like a kiwi back there, possible to find, but takes too much time to bother". Wish I could send him a tree!!
