I am on leave for four days before heading overseas and not seeing my family for another four months. Julie and the boys (and my parents) came to Savannah to help me relax. I was so glad to get to see Julie again. I miss her most of all. Savannah is a great city. I have wanted to see it for a long time. There is a lot written about it in city planning circles and I have wanted to see how special it is for myself. It hasn't disappointed. In fact the longer I am here the more I am falling in love with it. I have one more day to just go downtown and relax and enjoy it with my family. We'll just find a park and sit and play and have a pic-nick and then walk around enjoying all the shops and old houses.
So far we have been to the beach, seen Fort Pulaski, toured a tall ship, eaten lots of good seafood, and taken a side trip to Atlanta to send my parents home and to fix my iPod. It has been a good vacation and although I didn't get to go home and sleep in my own bed, it has been good for me.

Julie showed me your blog today and I hope you don't mind if I read and occasionally send a message. I have a blog now, too, which you can reach from Julie's if you have time. I'm so glad she and the boys could be with you this week. I was really happy to see them again today, but their visit with you was a wonderful, wonderful gift. We pray for you every day and think of you all the time. The ROTC leaders were asking at work who had someone in the military and when I told them about you, Chief Knedler said he will pray for you. I figure prayers are always a blessing. You'll also be included in our school roster of family and friends who are or have served our country as we celebrate Veteran's Day next week.
Take care of yourself,
Love,
Sherry
