Sick of it all

I am sick to DEATH of people telling me that they know what it is like to have someone deployed because their brother/brother-in-law or cousin or friend or whatever is in the military!!!! YOU HAVE NO IDEA!!!!!! It is completely diffrent when it is your HUSBAND or son. It is like 1/2 of you has been ripped out of you. Your not whole with out them there beside you in your arms. SO please don't tell me you know how it feels unless you've been through it or are going through it. Because unless you have/are you have NO IDEA and no right to try and tell me that.

He's Gone

Hi Sorry I haven't posted in a while. My internet died the day Aaron deployed. Well he is gone...... He left March 28th for Afghanistan. He IS doing the FULL 15 months despite of the new order from President Bush (that doesn't go into affect until August). I do have his address if you would like it send me a email or call me and I'll get it to you. He has been calling every Sunday so yes I have heard from him. He is doing good the have internet and phones, running water, electricity, and hot meals (which are WAY TOO good everybody is getting fat!) We never thought that we could be be so grateful for those things but let me tell you Aaron is definitely thankful for the washing machine and dryer. :D sorry i don't have much more if you want to send him something let me know and I'll get you a list of things he has requested. Thanks Love, Anna

Life's Crazy Day

Just a quick update about us and Aaron's deployment. They have moved the deployment date up it is earlier in that same week if you want the exact date give me a call. I got a transfer with my job so I will be working more hours at a nicer theater with people my own age. All that it left to do is the paper work Bleck! We''re going to try and give everyone a call before he deploys But just in case he doesn't get you. He is what he wants you to know. Hi I'm gonna be ok. I'll be gone for 18 months. But it will go by fast. If you need my address let Anna know she will get it to you. Try not to worry about me I'm going over with a great bunch of guys. Pray for me and my company while we are over there. I love you all. Thanks Aaron. During Aaron's deployment I am going to have a prayer list this is for the guys in Aaron's Company who would like us to pray for them. I have 2 names so far Aaron and our friend Justin Stuart. If you would like to participate please pray for them that's all you have to do. I will update the names here in my blog. I love you all Anna Oh if you wondering how the clomid did. Sorry better luck next time. Hopefully by 2010 we'll have a baby in the family. Anna

Hi Everybody

Well everything has been going crazy around here for the last few weeks. Aaron is deploying next month. He is going to Afghanistan. He will be deployed for 15 months so he'll be home sometime next summer.

If you were wondering why we haven't had kids yet.....I finally got to see the Doctor about all of my tests and we are both perfectly health but I'm not ovulating (which jives with his diagnosis of PCOS) so my doctor gave me a pill called Clomid. (my mom used this so I know it works) Hopefully I should ovulate and maybe we can get pregnant before he leaves next month. Yes we'll know if we are expecting before for he deploys......Yes we have thought this through with the deployment and what it means if we do get pregnant(which is why we have a great support system in place...All of you! :D)......No He won't be coming home for the birth as we don't know if we are even pregnant or if he can even get hose dates off....... We are pretty sure of his mid-tour dates but are unable to let anyone know because A. OPSEC and B. we still aren't sure that he can even get those dates again it just depends on the time and what is going on.

I plan on coming out to Utah around last part of May to early June I'm still working it out with the other people I will be driving with. Hopefully by then I'll have some pictures of Aaron and his Farewell to show everyone.

I am still working on getting my endowments so that when he gets home from deployment we can get sealed in the temple after he gets his endowments too. Wish us luck and please keep us in your prayers

Love Anna

Funny that this War has gone on longer than WW I and the same amount of time as WW II but is not even CLOSE to the amount of deaths. And for that matter the war has gone on LONGER than Korean War but still not even CLOSE to the same death totals.. Funny how in WWI and WWII men and women would MOURN the fallen but CHEER for the living yet today the fallen are exploited for political gain and the living are cursed and attacked by the media. Isn't funny how the Soldiers you curse and condemn make it possible for you to have the RIGHT to criticize them and the government without fear of reprisal. Strange that FDR declared war on Japan the VERY NEXT DAY. But it took President Bush 1 year and 7 months before he declared war on Iraq yet people say that he was too hasty in his decision! Sad that a CIVILIAN doing the SAME EXACT JOB in Iraq as the Soldiers yet get paid thousands more a month but when it comes time to give the Soldiers a hard earned raise the money has suddenly dried up or disappeared. Funny what they DON'T put on the news or in the newspapers. Funny???? Are you laughing yet???
