Happy Halloween

I'm not the biggest fan of Halloween, but so far I've received two treats for Halloween:

1) A Starbucks gift card from Mariglyn

2) FLOWERS!!! From my thoughtful husband. The best part was the card ;o)

Another Day

1Sgt Russi and Capt. Glenn pause to snap some photos. Stuart said he and the other Marines of 3/5 India Company have been working long days, sleeping few hours but seem to be in good spirits.

3/5 Families

Where does he sleep?

This is Stuart's room in Iraq. I wonder if it looked much different from his college days?

India Company

This picture was sent to me by Stuart just yesterday.

Pictured are 1Sgt Russi, Capt. Glenn, 1stLt Miller & Gy Hernandez

Reach for the Stars Gala

Went to visit the family in Texas for a short weekend. We attended the "CCISD Reach for the Stars" gala. Stephen gave a wonderful speech and had people laughing and crying (it wasn't that bad ;o) and at the end, a standing ovation.

We also tried to attend the Clear Creek/Clear Lake football game, but the rain prevented this San Diegan from staying until the end.

Looking forward to my next visit in November for Thanksgiving.

Deployment

Stuart and the rest of the Marines of 3/5 deployed on September 29, 2007. They successfully arrived in their area of operation in early October. Here is the address for Stuart during the deployment:

Capt. Glenn, Stuart W.

3/5 I CO

UIC 40385

FPO AP 96426-0385

Stuart has been very busy, working hard and adjusting to the deployment. He is doing well and appreciates all the support and prayers. I too have been adjusting to the deployment and keeping myself busy. I have been involved with the Key Volunteer Network for Stuart's battalion and the wives of 3/5 amaze me everyday. The wives and families have really come together during the separation and shown support for our Marines and each other.
