Micheal Scott Update
Dear Friends and Family, Greetings!! :)
How is everyone doing?? Things are going well here. Dayson is growing like a weed. He'll be 5 months old Wednesday! I can hardly believe it... Just about to crawl! We leave for vacation on the 27th to go to Florida for a week, so that should be loads of fun! But, that's not the reason I'm writting. LOL This is a MICHAEL update! We just passed the halfway point of the deployment! Time has gone fairly quickly. They keep him quite busy. He pretty much runs supply. The best news I can present right now came yesterday morning. Michael was finally promoted from specialist to CORPORAL!!! Im so proud of him! This has been a long time coming and he's worked hard and grown a lot in the last year. He's taken on a huge amount of responsibility since he's been there and has done an incredible job. My heart is just overflowing with pride for him right now. He'll soon have pictures of the promotion for me so when i get them i'll pass them along. Also, if you have been or want to write him or send him anything, you must address it to CPL not SPC now this is how they should be addressed:
CPL Kirby, Michael S.
C-Troop CAV RSTA
APO AE 09333-3359
He loves hearing from home, as you can imagine. You can also email him at mkirby57@hotmail.com I've attached pictures he sent me of the recent sandstorms they've had. He says that they have two different types of sand. The ground itself is of the normal hard brownish sand. Whats blown up in these sandstorms is what the soldiers call "Moondust". He says its somewhat like the raw components of concrete and about that color. Very fine... kind of like baby powder. Its unreal! That's what the big "clouds" are in the background of the pictures. Its all sand. It's been very hot over there. Over 100 every day. The only upside of the sandstorms is that it blocks some sun so as a result its a bit cooler. Last Sunday Michael said it was only 88! Well, that's about all the updates I have at the moment. Please keep Michael, the rest of the 76th brigade, and ALL our military and their families in your thoughts and prayers every day.
Love you all, Amanda (and Dayson :)
