It's only 12:30 but today has been awesome! I got my t-shirt in the mail that I ordered from customizedgirl.com. It is so cool. It says, 'I love SPC Metzker' on the front and then the back of course says, '1/2 my heart is in Iraq'. I have been waiting for weeks to get this shirt and I am SO very excited that it came. I made our poster for the month (sorry it was 3 days late baby) and it was very nice to be able to put that we are over 1/2 done with this deployment on the bottom of it! 8 months down only 7 more to go! I am so proud of Zeek that I can not stand it.

I also want to thank Megan for bringing this page to my attention. This blog is so much better than the one on myspace so I figure it is a better way to keep all our friends and family informed on what is going on. I will let everyone know what me and the boys did during the day and I will also try to keep everyone updated on how Zeek is doing also. I am going to put his address up on here so if you can I ask you to send him a package, or even a letter. It really raises his spirits to hear from his friends and family while he's there. He needs to know that we all love him and that we're proud of the job he is doing there!

Well, like I said, It's only 12:30 so I'm sure I will post on here again today, but I just wanted to write my first blog down real quick so that everyone knows what we're up to and stuff. Hope everyone enjoys my blog. :)

But here is Zeek's address I said I was going to post. If you can send him something, please do!!
