Hi Susan, I wish you all a happy holiday season too. I know that you enjoyed Ryan's visit in November. My nephew left last week for Iraq. He was in Afghanistan last year and Kosovo in 2007. Eric is deployed yet and it will be a few more months before he gets back..God bless you all and wish Ryan a very Merry Christmas for me. Barbara
Susan,
I really don't know much at all. He just officially received his orders today. Will leave to San Diego, Feb and then to Afganistan by March 15. As far as his job, no specifics. He is coming home for Christmas, so hopefully we will know more by then. I would like to know though if your son wished he had anything special while he was there. Since he will be home for Christmas, I am searching for ideas. He had earlier orders to Guantanamo and so I had all this beach stuff and those were changed so now I am not sure if there is anything he will really need or want. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks so much, I am sure I will have more questions as the time goes along.

Hi Susan,
Thanks for the reply, I can't wait to hear what all you have experienced over this year and all you know about this type of deployment.\
Jody
I do not know many specifics yet. He said he was doing something with intelligence and would go to San Diego and then to South Carolina.
What did your son do there?
Susan,
I read your post from almost a year ago now in January that your son was going to Afganistan on IA for 1 year. My son will be doing the same thing Feb. 2010. I would appreciate any advise, heads up --basically just anything you can offer.
Merry Christmas.
Jody
Susan, I am so thrilled for you!! Your message brought a smile to my face and gladdened my heart..We think of Ryan often..We were at a restaurant near the base and 4 sailors who were training at Ft Jackson was at the table behind us and it reminded us of your Ryan..Please let him know how proud we are of him and how honored we feel to have met him if only briefly..I am so happy for you..My son won't be home but you having Ryan with you makes it easier..Take care and Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family..
Hi Sue~ So must be having a great time with your son..Give him my best.. Lett me know if there is a time I can visit you both or have lunch before he goes.. I would love that.
Hey Sue... Keep November 7th open.. I think that is the big day for craft fairs.. it usually is on the weekend of my b-day.. I know there is one at the high school here.. but will keep you informed...
Niko called me on wed and ask me to work on Sat so I went in at 3 and got out at 9.. Long day..Went by slow for some reason.. Usually it goes by quick.. Today I am going to the evergreen wal..Do you want to go with me later??
I will take Daisey there to walk around!
Hi Sue,
Thank you for sharing the pictures of Ryan with me. He hardly seems like the shy guy at the fort. I know that you are so proud of him..I am proud just to have met him..You and he are in my thoughts and heart..Take care ..Barbara
Good morning Sue! I am home..So neat. I have so many thing I want to do not sure where to start.. I'm not sure if I'm happy, it's weird now I fell sort of out of place..It was a nice feeling of having someone need me.. Rec'd many text and video's, via cell phone from Zac last night. He was at the Eddi money concert.. I am so jeaulous.. He says he had a great time.. He loves all kind of music..

Susan, Just curious about Ryan? I hope that he is well..Both of you are in our thoughts..My son has deployed..I have no idea where he is..where ever the ship is.. Take care Barbara
Hi Sue..
Sheila and I are having dinner on Thursday night.. I put a discussion in Ct moms. but want to invite you personally too.. Hope you can join us. Where we go depends on who is going as if it is just us around here then it will be close by if not we will meet halfway... Hope you are doing well.. haven't talked to you in a long time..
susan - sorry I couldn't make the block island trip.. this summer is so crazy - I hate it because all of a sudden it comes to a screeching halt - although with all this damn rain, I will be happy to see Fall!!!! How things with you?
