Well, as I sit here in the cusp of the end of the fourth month an beginning of the fifth month of our first deployment I figured it would be very beneficial to start keeping track and giving regular updates on how James' is in Iraq and how life is stateside.
For starters I am 19 and James is 22. He is an Infantry man in the United States Army. He is a PFC and will soon become a SPC (as of May) all in the first 1 1/2 years on his Army career. As I stated earlier he is on his first deployment to Iraq and is a little over half way through. My name is Leslie and I go to school online. We met almost 2 years ago and got married in October 7, 2008. We have 2 dogs, Sugar who is a Pomeranian and Chewy who is a Yorkie/Shih Tzu mix. They are our babies until we can actually achieve having a child of our own.
From the last time I talked to James I know that he has gotten soldier of the month, a coin from a brigadier general, and is up for soldier of the quarter. Though he would like to be home, he is happy with what he is doing there and says he can see improvement in the country in just a few short months.
I have recently started my second semester in college on my way to earning my associate's degree in Early Childhood Education. I am really liking Biology- Introduction to Life Science, but am not a fan of Contemporary Issues in American Education.
The apartment we have is coming along nicely and slowly starting to feel more and more like home. Our dog Sugar had two puppies two days ago, but it seems as though right now that only one is going to make it.
Okay, so not too creative or poetic on the first try, but the foundation is set for the blog to get rolling.
