Daniel Update

Besides the fact that Daniel misses me so much, he's doing okay. He is having a very hard time adjusting to the time change. He said that at one point he was just sleeping all day and waking up to eat or shower. On his plane ride to the base he's stationed at (we'll call it destination A, he's not allowed to really talk about certain things for security reasons), he said the landscape was amazing! Even Lamoille Canyon didn't come close to the beauty! The mountains were big and beautiful and the trees are so green with calming white bark. He said he'd never seen anything like it. He still has not arrived at destination A. His unit has made many stops at other bases because it is such a long trip. He should be there soon though. As of right now he has been sleeping in big tents with hundreds of cots lined up inside. I imagine it is pretty rugged.

He told me a funny story about a friend of ours. He was walking back from the computer room and decided to walk through the bathrooms to get back to the tents sooner and when he's walking through the bathrooms, out walks Alex Wilson. Alex is a good friend of ours. We've both known him since elementary school and he was even the Chaplin that married us. I was glad that Daniel got to see him because he's sounded so sad, and I think seeing an old friend helped to cheer him up. Alex is in the Air Force and he and Kathleen were deployed for 6 months to Afghanistan in December. Alex was on his way out of Afghanistan as Daniel is on his way in. Lucky Alex! Well, as for an update, that's all I have for now. If you would like Daniel's APO Address just ask and leave your email and I'll send it to you.
