It seems like Adam has been gone for ages but I guess its only been since late Nov. since he left. I still remember the last text he sent me saying he was leaving the country and I could have his phone turned off. I still have that text saved! The next text that I received from him that had me in tears was that he had landed in Texas and would soon be home for his R&R. I was excited and was on pins and needles until he arrived at the airport. Bob, myself, Elisabeth, Eric, Calvin and Kandyce were all there waiting to greet him home! Adam is here for about 2 weeks and I know he will try to see as many of his friends and family as he can. I love having all my kids in the same state again and will cherish the next couple of weeks.

We got to chat with Adam online Sun morning. It was great! He told us about getting hurt. They were unloading some kind of barriers and somehow, (I didn't quite understand how it happened) he was thrown about 6 feet in the air and landed on a wooden 4x4. He said it knocked the wind out of him and he was sore for a few day..a little bruising. He said they wanted to send him to the hospital but his sgt said he was fine. He said he wished he could have had it on video cause it was funny. hmmmm not sure I find it funny but oh well. The exciting news is he is coming home for his 2 week R&R. If I read between all his lines he should be in Kuwait today and depending on all the flights we hope like crazy he will be here friday or saturday. He really wants to spend his 21st birthday with his twin brother Mattt, which is tues the 10th. I am soooo excited to see him. His phone is reactivated for while he is in the states, so if you have his number you can call him and leave messages or text him. If anyone doesn't have his cell number just email me and I will give it too you. I kinda don't think I should post it on the web. my email is dcniblack@cox.net

I don't know exactly how long he will be here but I know we are all looking forward to seeing him. I will post here when he hits home and when he will be leaving!!!!
