~From the Adults~

Marcus and I would like to wish each and everyone of you a very Merry Christmas. We hope that you all enjoy your families and all the good food. Thank you for all your prayers for us this year as we have gone through half of the deployment so far. You'll never know how much that means to us to know that we have friends out there scattered across the country praying for us. Yes, it is hard to be apart on Christmas but we are going to make the best of it and enjoy ourselves here and clear across the world. I sent him 3 boxes for Christmas and in one of them was a tree and some lights and ornaments. He is enjoying that and says it makes it feel just a little bit like home and a little like Christmas. I also sent him some Hickory Farms and he has been chowing down on that. Said that is by far his favorite thing he has gotten in a box!! Doesn't take much to make him happy! =) We are over half way and have just about 3 months to go!
I will be going to my parents for Christmas this year and will be there for about 8 days. I'm looking forward to seeing them and spending time in CO. I hope to see some snow and then leave it all behind and come back to a little warmer place!
We could never forget the reason for the season! Jesus!! He has been so good to us this year and we can't thank him enough for all his blessings!!
Merry Christmas!
Love,
Marcus and Julie
