Dusty has arrived in Iraq as of early this morning. I still have not received a mailing address, but as soon as I get one, I will pass it on. Please continue with the prayers! Thanks to all!

One M&M At A Time...

You all must be wondering what the update with Dusty is. We said goodbye Thursday morning at 6:15, his plane was supposed to take off at 1:50, needless to say, many plane malfunctions, he is still on the ground at Hunter in Savannah. I just got off the phone with him and he will be taking off in about an hour. He will go to Newfoundland, then to Germany, then onto Kuwait, where he will be for about 3 weeks. Thank you all for the support and prayers. I want to give a huge thank you to my family and Dusty's family. We (I) could not have done it without you as you all know. The reason this blog is titled "One M&M At A Time" is because my mom, along with Kim and Dad, made Liz and I jars filled with 365 M&M's, tied with a yellow ribbon. We are to eat one, only 1 Liz, everyday as a way to countdown the days til he will be returning home. Now, we don't know exactly how many days he will be gone; could be less or more than 365, but it's a good guesstimate. Thank you all again to everyone reading this. Please keep Dusty and the rest of his battalion in your prayers. They are trained and ready for the tasks ahead!
