Visit with Clayton

We are enjoying our visit with Clayton. Updates can be found on our blog for him and photos in the online album.

Calls from Clayton

My morning was greeted with a call from Clay. He is 9 1/2 hours ahead of us. He sounded tired, which he is. He called yesterday too and we had 2 video chats the day before that. He knows how concerned I am.

I'm anxious for him to settle in where he is going.

Clayton

Clayton has deployed to Afghanistan. You can keep up with the journey on the blog we have for him.

Clay is home

Clay arrived yesterday for his pre-deployment leave. Soon he'll leave for Afghanistan where he will spend a year. Tomorrow is his birthday so it will be nice to celebrate it and Easter while he is home.

Clayton deploying

Clayton has been notified that he will deploy to Afghanistan mid April to mid May. This scares me and this is where my faith must be stronger than my fear.

.

Cast all your anxiety on Him because he cares for you.

Panoramic at Ft. Sill, OK

AIT graduation was canceled today due to the ice storm. Looks like we are stuck here for a day or two. So, no graduation photos since there wasn't a ceremony. Instead I'll share one of Clay's taken from the training field.

He created this panoramic using his new camera we gave him for BCT graduation [at Ft. Knox, KY]. When you are approaching Ft. Sill you have these mountains rise up from no where. I bet this would be a pretty view in the late spring / early summer when everything is green.

Clay received his orders and will be headed to Ft. Campbell where he will be attached to the 101st Airborne Division. You can learn more about it here.
