400 Days; The Misery of a Military Mom

My son is a 1st Lieutenant in the U.S. Army National Guard. His deployment to Iraq will last approximately 400 days.
I praise God every day for watching over him and I count the days until his safe return home.
Remember, for every soldier returning home from deployment, another soldier takes their place.
For all of the military mothers out there who are miserable, missing their soldier while on deployment, I feel your pain...
God Bless Our Troops

Day 105; Shopping and Bonding

Sunday, February 27th

Spent the day with my soldier's girlfriend. I like her a lot!

Went shoe-shopping together... A silly pose!!! (notice the socks? They belong to my soldier!)

After our shopping excursion, I took her to my sister's house and we watched the Academy Awards. While there, my phone beeped-- I received an email from my soldier:

One of the cooler things I have going on out here...my personal 6x6 Polaris Ranger ATV. It's pretty quick. I haven't had many occasions to drive it yet because everything is so close together here, but I got a sweet 6-wheel (weird saying that) drift coming around a turn one time when no one was looking. Don't tell anyone because the speed limit out here is usually 5-10mph, hah. And yes, the MPs give out tickets--even in Iraq.

do believe some of those pics can be seen as opsec understand you want ppl back home to see where you have been and all but it could be a security risk to the rest of us
