UPDATE

Chris is presently in Iraq with the Bravo Co 2/325 of the 82nd airborne. So far all is going well. Please keep him and all the other troops in your prayers!

James is still in Korea and he hopes he is able to be transferred to the states sometime after October. He will have been in Korea for 1 year as of October 11! He and his wife, Lauren, celebrated their 1st anniversay on Sept. 10 (apart). It would be great if they could be together somewhere in the USA!

Aimee had a baby girl, Isabella, on Aug. 25. They are all doing well.

I have decided to postpone moving south until sometime in the future. I need to be here with my family right now.

Ben (U of Albany) and Britt (Buff State) are doing great at college.

Bethany and Nick are remodeling their house and they are very busy. Beth is presently working 2 jobs (way to go, girl)! Jeff and his family are doing well in S. Carolina.

You can always email me with any concerns or questions: armymomcher@gmail.com

Have a great day!!

Sad note: This drill sgt was recently killed in a car accident!
