Lieutenant Dan

Update on Phil:

He has been doing good overseas! It is very hot and he has not gone on any traveling missions but he is in good spirits. He is usually at watch over the General's quarters. Not very exciting but I like it that way because not much happens and I know he is safe. We are able to communicate everyday whether it be through email, his cell phone or webcam. Technology is great! I miss him very much but I just take it one day at a time and keep busy!!

Phil actually got to be on security detail for Lieutenant Dan (Gary Sinise) when he visited the troops. This is the picture. It makes me laugh because he is not looking at the camera nor is the other security guy. They were watching out for the bad guys!

I love you Phil!



As for other news I just recently moved into the Smith household!!! Has been good so far and it is fun to see the girls all the time!

I also attended the blessing of my nephew Daniel over July 4th weekend! I was feeling very patriotic (of course) due to my fiance and got to go see a fireworks show at an Air Force base. It was great fun! We also went to Newport Beach and In and Out Burger and all the fun stuff!!! The blessing was wonderful and Matt has an adorable baby! Good times for all!

I love lieutenant Dan! Have fun living with the Smiths - I bet you can't wait for Colton to finish the basement. Matt loved having his own floor when he was with them.

TJ was so not excited about Lt. Dan as I was. I don't think he listened when I told him!!! That is so cool. I think its funny too that they're not looking at the camera. Good times in Cali. It was good to see ya!

The Brinkerhoff girls are so beautiful! I love your pictures! It seems like it was just yesterday when we were roommates! I am so thrilled for you that you are engaged. I am sure the time is going slowly since Phil is gone . . . but hopefully you are keeping yourself busy!
