Happy Thanksgiving & Brian info

I hope all of you have had a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving!

I'm still working on wedding pictures, but I DO have a Photobucket site set up with both my pics and the one's Bill took. You can get to it here- Wedding Pics. To see Bill's pics, look down the left hand side under Albums, and click on his name. I'll be adding all the pictures I get to this page whenever I get more from folks! Let me know if it asks for a password or anything..it shouldn't, but you never know!

In other news, it's getting close to Christmas! At least as far as getting things to Brian is concerned. His address has changed again (well, changed BACK anyway). You can mail things to him at-

PFC Brian M Schreiber
F Company, 201st BSB, 3rd BDE, Ist ID
FOB Fenty
APO AE 09310

In order for him to get things in time for Christmas they need to be mailed NO LATER THAN DECEMBER 4th.

Some of the things he has asked for are-

Plain Beef Jerky
Slim Jims
White Chocolate
hand warmers
AA batteries
Vienna Sausages
Fruit gum
Medicated foot powder
Orange flavored pretty much anything
Cookies
Brownies
Fudge
Breads (pumpkin, zucchini, banana)
Puzzle books
books
comics
DVDs
Anything YOU'D like to send!

On books/comics/DVDs, don't worry so much about his likes/dislikes. If you think he'll enjoy it, he probably will, and in any case he'll share with his buddies!

But most of all, he'd just appreciate hearing from folks back home!

Wedding wrap up and updates

Well, Brian is back in Dallas waiting for his flight back to the Sandbox. Although it's not really sandy where he's at. He showed us some beautiful pictures he took of the mountains near their post.

Anyway, the wedding was wonderful, getting to meet Share's family was neat, and a good time was had by all. I'll have a link to pics very soon, we're gathering all the ones that were taken together.

But here's a couple to tide you all over-

Wedding Update

Alrighty then, let's see. It's been a whirlwind week here. Plans are now OFFICIALLY in place for Brian and Share to get married at the Chandler courthouse on Monday at 4:30.

It's going to be a small affair, immediate family and just a few friends. They plan on having a Catholic ceremony and larger celebration when he gets back from Afghanistan. Brian really felt like this was the right move now to make sure that Share is taken care of in case (God forbid) anything does happen to him while he's deployed.

I'll certainly have pictures up here next week, and Brian doesn't have to leave until next Saturday which is nice.

So, more updates as I get them. Please keep them in your prayers, I know they will appreciate it!
