November Post

Hello to everyone.  Rheanna says she is always excited when the 1st of the month arrives as she knows it is one month closer to getting home to Adam and Ryann Faith!  It has been a busy month here as Craig and I left on the 3rd to go to Minnesota and then to Arizona.  Kris, Rheanna's mom was here to get her Ryann "fix".  Ryann had a great time with her and was excited to be able to spend time with Grandma Kris.  Altho she was making attempts before Kris's arrival, Ryann started officially crawling on November 4th…so yes watch out Moose! Kris really had a great visit and we know it was hard for her to leave.   We will be spending Thanksgiving here in Colorado Springs and Adam has the whole week off of school.  The other boys are arriving later this week so Ryann will continue to be spoiled and get lots of teasing from her Uncles.  Adam is gone for a few days this week to a conference in Albany NY, so he is looking forward to time off from school.  Adam and Ryann are really lonesome for Rheanna and look forward to Face Time each day.  We are sure the holidays will be tough on all of them, but especially for Rhe being so far away.    Thank you all for the support that you have shown her so far, as  her and Adam really appreciate it.  Rheanna shared some thoughts this week and sent lots of pictures so I will let her take it away now…

Thanks to Tom & Iris and Georgia & Craig for the gifts to Abdul's children! He is so excited and I will have pictures of him with the stuff next time.   I am staying busy cleaning out old files since our base closes in a few months. I am looking forward to my new job. I will be assisting the afghan prosecutors to prepare cases against detainees. You can google task force 435 to learn more about the mission I will be working on. I would like to thank my Mom and Steve for relieving Craig and Georgia for a week to care for Ryann and moose. As always, I am thankful for Craig, Georgia, and Adam. I miss everyone. Love, Rheanna

We completed a really hard work out on v-day. The workout was dedicated to our lost service members.

Jamila is one of the few afghan women who is allowed to sell her art at the aghan bazaar. She creates beautiful water color paintings and hopes to earn a degree in art.

Our Mongolian class threw a going away party for one of the soldiers who was finished with her tour. They served milk tea and buuz. The buuz are delicious and are akin to dumplings.

Best Friends!
