Update on Josiah in Iraq

This article is about what Josiah is doing over in Iraq... the pictures in there is the checkpoint that he was responsible for setting up. He is not listed in the article, LT Schuette is the Platoon Leader that covered down for him while he was on refit.

Take time to read the article that was in the New York Times. Here is the article http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/27/world/middleeast/27mosul.html

Molokai

This month our book club discussed the book Molokai by Alan Brennert. The girls receive a favor everytime they come as a remembrance of our time together or something for them to remember the book. The girls favor actually came from Hawaii, thanks to my daughter who took the time to pick some braclets for me while she was there in November. I also try to set the table and the dessert on the theme of the book.

Fueling up the Sikorsky

We had this cool helicopter fly into the Airport to get some fuel Sikorsky Sky Crane. This helicopter was huge the blade was at least 35 feet long. It has two engines each with 9,000 horse power. Our days are always a bit interesting.

Terry's last day at Jacob's Engineering was January 4th and on that day they gave him a Certificate of Appreciation and a Coin. That was a nice surprise since he only work there for 7 months.

Here's Terry helping this pilot scrape ice off the wings.


Chuck and Beverly Best were travelling through El Paso headed to Las Vegas for a Bowling Tournament. We met Chuck and Beverly in Russia. They spent the night, we had dinner and then let Beverly win at Mexican Train .

Thanks for stopping by, we enjoyed your company!!!

Happy New Year

For us 2009 has been a time of transition, some things that we had planned for, prepared for fell through, moved from Russia to El Paso, (losing our jobs, home, and friends) Terry starting a new job in June and then giving his 2 weeks notice in Dec. Yet I so believe it was all part of God's master plan for our lives. Starting January first we will be Property managers of Horizon Airport. We're both looking at 2010 with new hopes.

With all that being said May 2010 be a Blessed year for you all - from our family to yours!

This was the highlight of 2009 - all my kids together.

(it's been 4 years since this has happened)
