Hello from the big NJ

Hello VanDrunen family, I got a chance to get online for a little bit today so I thought id give the fam an update. First off thanks for all the thoughts, letters, and prayers! Im definatly well supported and thats thanks to you all. Well most of the time here has been pretty cold but fairly soon well be getting the exact opposite. Most of us are extremely excited and anxious to go. Me included. We have all been put in for sure positions within the company and I couldnt ask for a better squad. My team leader was in the marine corp on the initial invasion in Iraq and one of my team leaders was also in the marine corp in desert storm so I fall under well expierienced and a bit hardcore leadership. We were out in the field for the past 3 days and sleeping was aweful. We could see our breath when we were in our sleeping bags, but we got super bowl sunday off! Thank Goodness! So I slept til about 10 and am getting misc stuff done. We will go back out tom and should finish up by next sunday and afterwards well be close to being finished here at Fort Dix. Well Ill do my best to keep in touch and hope all is well with everybody!

Craig,

It is so good to hear from you! Keep us posted when you can & we are praying for you. The snow here is incredible. Valpo had 24 inches. I'll bet you'll be glad to have warmth after this winter.

Take care & love from all of us.
