It's also a little sad because I have come to enjoy that part of deployment. My letters have been my journal, venting soundboard and my way of communication to update Ryan on all my adventures.

Now I have to find some other projects to occupy my time! Thank you to everyone for sending him notes, pictures, cards, letters and packages. He has enjoyed getting tons of mail.
