Boots on Ground

Early Tuesday morning (3 AM) we said our goodbyes to Jacob.







11 o'clock tonight he called to tell me that he is now "boots on ground" in Kuwait where he will spend some time before going over to Iraq. He's doing well, and we are doing well back here. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.

3AM? As if it wasn't hard enough to say good-bye they make you do it in the middle of the night. I'm glad to hear he made it there safely. You are definitely in our prayers.

How long will he be in Kuwait? We will include you guys in our prayers, we've been thinking about you guys. Are you going to move back to Phoenix, or are you staying there this time?

What? Moving to Phoenix??? (I read that other comment) THat would be great--we would have to have am ALma 5th Ward reunion! Anyway, hope all is well with you family while he is away--you are truly a patriot family and I think it is wonderful how you used your time to build so many wonderful memories!

I've been thinking of you all week!
We're glad everyone's okay - of course,
you know that you are in our prayers.
I love you very much! Kisses and hugs to
Camilla, Hyrum & Mary Emma.
And Jacob, we're praying for a safe and speedy
return home.
