ADDRESS change and A Dress!

Dane made it safely to Kosovo! On Sunday he called to let me know they made it to Camp Bondsteel and were excited to be there. Today he told me there has been a change in the address so disregard the last one and use this one!

A little tibit of information about Camp Bondsteel

Camp Bondsteel has many facilities on base for use by the soldiers and civilian employees who live and work there. The post exchange (PX) is the largest military exchange in south eastern Europe and contains all the necessities and more that someone may need while in Kosovo, including TVs, phones, books, DVDs, CDs, small furniture, video games, computers, clothes, shoes, food, and more, all in its two story building. The base also has, arguably, the best hospital in Kosovo; a movie theater; three gyms; two recreation buildings that have phones, computers with internet connection, pool tables, video games and more; two chapels with various religious services and other activities; two large dining facilities; a fire station; a military police station; the Laura Bush education center where classes are offered through the University of Maryland University College and Central Texas College; two cappuccino bars, a Burger King, Taco Bell, and an Anthony's Pizza pizzeria; two barber shops; two laundry facilities employing local nationals who do the laundry for those living on base; two press shops; a sewing shop; two massage shops employing mostly Thai women who conduct various massages and are regulated by military officials; a shoppette that sells snacks and drinks, some DVDs and CDs, some office products, magazines, and essential personal hygiene items; various local vendors who sell Kosovo souvenirs and products; softball and football fields; and more. (from Wikipedia!)

There is a large photo of the base (that is too big for the blog!) Google Image Camp Bondsteel and there are some really cool photos of the area!

I bought a wedding dress last weekend and couldn't be more excited to wear it. If they didn't have to order it in I would probably have it on right now! YAY!

Thanks again to everyone who has shown their support for Dane during his deployment!

We appreciate everyone so so much!
