New address for Rheanna

Just wanted everyone to know that Rheanna arrived at her new base last week in Kabul.  She is now stationed at New Kabul Compound in the center of the city.  She has 2 other roommates and there are other Captains in her office so the best news is she probably will not have to be doing the driving…big relief for Kris and I..lol!  She says the food is much better and she really likes the new camp.  She was worried about the change but it sounds like all is good. She has 2 roommates and no report that either of them snore yet!   She will send me info for the blog when she gets more settled.  Her new address is:

CPT Rheanna Felton

ATTN: SJA

USFOR-A/NKC

APO AE 09354-9998

Thanks again for everyone's kindness with letter, emails and packages…she really appreciates it.  Her R&R time has not changed so she will be back home in Colorado Springs with Adam and Ryann from about the 22nd of March until April 5th.  They are all so excited for her leave so that they can be back together as a family.  We wonder if Rheanna will even want to be away from Ryann, Adam,Moose and her house for a second when she is home.  She has hardly lived in her house so she will have fun being there.

The other very exciting news that Rheanna has is that her and Adam welcomed a new nephew Luke Cashel Felton, Scott and Kaelee's new baby…and Lane's little brother.  He was born Jan 12 at a whopping 9 lbs…very cute little guy and Rhe is so excited for all of them…Congrats to the Feltons!

Craig and I are in Arizona with Ryann Faith for 2 weeks…she is loving the 70 degree weather and watching the ducks in our pond out back and the golfers….wish this kid got air miles for all the times she has flown.  She is 11 months old today..getting lots of teeth, standing up to everything..climbing stairs, babbling, not any real words yet(maybe Georgia needs to stay quiet) and did her first sign language yesterday..milk!  Adam is coming this weekend for a 3 day get away!

Will send more news as I hear from Rheanna…and now of course for the pictures!  Georgia

Happy New Year!

Greetings everyone!  I am shocked how long it has been since my last post…some people who will not be identified have been relieved that it has been some time since I last did report in..but I know those of you that appreciate my updates are glad to see this….haha…no problem here with getting a little criticism!
We know the holidays were tough on Rheanna to go through but we also know that will make every holiday from here on out that much more special.  Thank you to all of you that sent cards, email, special messages, packages, and to all of you that had school kids write letters and send goodies it was so appreciated.  I know you will hear from Rheanna as she was so excited to receive it all.  Being so far away from home is tough but then to have people make an effort really means so much.
Rheanna's news is kind of stuck right now…she was suppose to be moving from the camp she is in to a new base but all of those plans fell through.  We really do not know the whole story and Rheanna is not able to share a whole lot at this time.  We do know that she shipped all of her belongings to the new base right before she learned that she was not moving.  Details on what is to happen next are few and far between.  She was very disappointed and is waiting for so much news, like what is next, where they will be moving to after this deployment, guarantees of the dates for her RR, and when she will be moving to the next camp as her camp closes.  So please continue the emails,letters and notes to her as she looks forward to some consistency in her life.  She misses Adam and Ryann Faith so much and looks forward to her RR.
The Lenzmeier's were all together in McCall Idaho for Ryann's first Christmas.  It was so much fun but
far from perfect without Rheanna.  The house was hopping with 7 adults, baby Ryann and 2 dogs!  The snow was beautiful and Ryann was able to do lots of hiking with her dad and Moose.
Happy New Year to all of you and as soon as Rheanna has news to share I will put out a post.  Continue please your prayers and positive thoughts!
