It has been a while

Wow! It has been a while since I have written. I was doing well with this and then I started slacking! haha Well anyway, another 2 pounds and 2" this week. That means I hit the 20 pound mark! woot woot!!! I am loving this pride I am ccarrying for myself. Ok so I have to "take care of some business"

A few of you have asked about the soldiers that we all heard about on the news that were killed in Afghanistan. Here is the deal.....

The way it should work is like this......the accident happens....the immediate family is notified, the chain of command notifies the FRG (family readiness groups) that are involved and then they put out the information through a process called "redline messages" Once all the FRG leaders have all checked in to say that all contacts have been made. After this and only after this, the department of defense will release an official script to the media.

Now this is how it is suppose to work, that is not to say that there are never any mistakes but for the most part we like to try to rely on the system. This is important to know, for one reason......If you hear it on the news first, then Jason and Kyle are fine. It just cuts down on a lot of worry when you understand the process. As I am sure you understand, it is scary for all of us, but the only way I can make it through everyday is to not stress about every death that is broadcast on the news. I feel for all these families, believe me I do, but I can't sit around and worry about it everyday. All I can do is PRAY!!! And that is all I ask of you too! Thank you to all of you for such tremendous support, we truely do appreciate it!
