Christmas at Ft. Campbell

Barry and I traveled to Ft. Campbell for Christmas. I spent most of it in the bed sick. I was sad I didn't get to spend much time with the kids. I do believe they had a good Christmas.

For the 4 legged family member...Enya

Tiffany has this tree that will stay up until Clay comes home.

Celebrating Christmas

We passed the 2 month mark for this deployment. Yay! Hope they go fast since we don't hear from Clay as much on this deployment. I miss hearing his voice and seeing his face.

Please continue to pray for him and our troops!

It's hard trying to find suitable items to send to him...so here are a few from his Christmas box:

Ninja Turtles underwear

Penguin duct tape...now I've seen it all!

Updates and Thankful

Yesterday I kept thinking I should sit down and update everyone on Clayton.

You know I love to snap a pic of good stuff like this

Today I do so with a thankful heart.

He finally arrived to his destination and is settling in to do the tasks at hand. I pray he finds rest during his deployment. After all, there are few days off in war.

With him arriving to his destination I have a mailing address for him. If you would like it, please contact me.

This morning we awoke to the news his FOB was attacked. Thank goodness for time differences and communication that he was safe.

Even though I entered this second deployment with a sense of peace doesn't mean there are no worries. The reality of war rattled us today.

And, to Clayton. We are grateful for communication, especially on days like these. There are so many people praying for you on a daily basis. Today, I'm sure God heard your name many more times as our church family offered prayers and thanks. We love you beyond words.
