I am still ashamed of my lack of blog posts lately, but things have been so busy! Between being sick, visiting with family and getting ready for Christmas, we have all been staying busy. Addison loves being in Georgia and getting to see her cousins all the time! She started a gymnastics class here this week. I am so glad we found one that she can go to while we are here.
Onto the reason for this post. Many of you have been asking how Chad is doing. He is doing well, just staying very busy. Busy is good in that it keeps his mind busy and makes the time go by faster, but busy also means he is out and about a lot. I know that is what he is there to do though and we trust the Lord for his protection.
Many of you also ask about what you can send Chad. With his schedule right now he is in need of more food than before because he is not always able to go to the mess hall to eat. He does not have a microwave in his room, but he does (or will have soon) the ability to heat water. So here are some suggestions of things he has mentioned:
peanut butter & crackers
fruit snacks
easy mac (the kind that doesn't require milk or butter)
cheezits
instant flavored oatmeal (don't go overboard with this one...I've never seen him eat oatmeal!)
flavored triscuits
cereal bars (the really unhealthy sugary kind - honey nut cheerios, cinnamon toast crunch)
peanuts (he loves any kind of nuts)
pringles
ramen noodles (he likes the kind that come in a cup so all he has to do is add water)
He said he has a good supply of gatorade packs, sunflower seeds and candy right now.
Anything he gets is appreciated and he if he can't use it, he has lots of guys to share things with.
Thank you for all the prayers and support! Almost 2 months down!
Picture post coming soon!
