End In Sight

Hi everyone. This is Tom and Katie here to give you all an update on how Bob is doing. We have been on Skype talking with him at least once or twice a week, but lately it seems like we talk to him more and more. He is mostly excited about getting home and we talk about what we're going to do when we see each other again. A few of the guys Bob is friends with set up a net to hit golf balls into with him. I asked if they have ever lost any balls over the fence, but he said they don't have too many balls to waste that way. Last week Bob took cultural learning classes to learn more about the local language, and can now count to ten. He is still growing his mustache, but I'm not sure if I can convince him to keep it when he gets back. Thanks for caring and thinking about Bob who we all miss and can't wait to see back home.

Two Months Left????

We had a great Skype call from Bob last night!  Can't tell you how much fun Dan and I had talking to him at the same time.  We talked sports, and it amazes me that he is as up-to-date as we are.  He is able to watch some of the NFL games and keeps up with college football, golf, and other sports via the Internet. 

He looks great and is feeling good that he is on the down-hill side of his deployment.  Hopefully he only has about two months left in Afghanistan, but we never know for sure.  He is looking forward to getting back to Germany and then finally to the states probably in January sometime. 

Thanks for your continued thoughts and prayers for Bob and all of those who have chosen to serve our country.
