I feel silly making New Year’s resolutions, but here it goes…
1. Come home safe and sound. (Self-explanatory.)
2. Be more polite. (No cussing, too.)
3. Work harder on physical fitness. (The PT test will not mess me up next time!)
4. Get promoted. (Although I enjoy having a rocker, I’d gladly trade it in for a sham shield.)
5. Stay in touch with people back home. (I’m so bad about this.)
6. Write… something, anything. (I don’t write enough.)
Now that’s over with, so I can write about more pressing matters.
I’m moody lately. Not so much outwardly because I can put up a solid façade, but I’ve been pretty jumbled on the inside. Anxious one second, excited the other. I have to get my emotions in check.
I’ve been reading all the time. I’m halfway through Eclipse, which is the third book in the Twilight series. You can say what you will about it being a girlie romance series; I’m absolutely obsessed. I can’t wait to figure out what happens to Edward and Bella. If that makes me a sissy, than a sissy I shall be.
I miss my family and friends back home. I love you, Dad. I love you, Mom. I love you, Kelsey. I love you, Chase and Nick, but not in the same way. Ha, ha. I hope everything’s okay in Alabama.

We enjoyed Twilight. Next read Charlane Harris - The Sookie Stackhouse series True Blood! They were great!

Craig,
I knew you would love those books when I got them for you for Christmas. You made some good resolutions, and I know you will do well with those because you can do anything you set your mind to. I can tell on the phone that you have had alot on your mind, but my son you will do fine with the great unit you are a part of. Also know that we love you so much and pray for you and your unit family daily. We are so proud of the fine young man you have become.
With much love,
Mom

Thank you for sharing. We can understand your mood, however just the short time that I met your unit I knew that it was like a family, close knit. We are so very proud of each and everyone of you. Stay strong and return safely. God bless .

Well, Craig … you now have a new Commander in Chief…I know you are happy about that. I am so proud of you and the young man you have become. It is hard to believe that you are almost 21 years old. It seems like just yesterday I was holding baby Craig Clifton and passing out with him on the day bed. I hope things are going well over there. Take care and stay safe. I love you! “Aunt Mel”
