I went to Fargo to meet my great friend Leslie's perfect little bundle Benston. He is such a cutie pie, talker, and gave us some big smiles. We had a blast passing Ben around and spoiling him with our attention. I am so happy for Andy and Leslie and their new little guy! We also went bridesmaid dress shopping for my great friend Mya's wedding! We picked out some beautiful dresses and I can't wait to wear them in June!
Dane has been meeting some really great families in Kosovo. These interactions have taught him more about the culture, the family structure, what they do for a living, and some of their great food. When they go out on missions they usually go out to eat of one of the resturants in the hotel. He has had pizza and hamburgers but says they are much different than they are here.
My brother Eric has moved in with me and Nicole. We have a two bedroom with a den (which is now Eric's room). It is nice to have him around to help with the man stuff. He recently graduated with his masters at Southern Illinois University. The lovely lady in the picture with us is his fiance Laura.
Dane has met this one family in particular with six kids. They live in a very small shack and have very little. Dane's squad is collecting shoes, clothes, coats, socks, and other necessities. If you are interested in donating anything just let me know and I'd be happy to get you the address! Dane gave these kids some of his shirts he brought to work out in since he can't wear civillian clothes like he thought he could.
We have still be able to talk often but have had a few days where the internet has quit working there and has cut our conversations very short. I am thankful that we have been able to talk as much as we have though.
We are about 200 days away from him coming home and I just can't wait!
