Half of My Heart is in Korea!

As I write my blog today, my son, his lovely wife Erliza, & our new grand daughter Jamina are in the air on a 14 hour flight to Korea!  My son, Major Jared Albright is taking on a new role in his Army career!!  Military Intelligence! (As of this week I do not know if we have enough of this - check out the news!)  Well Jared has intelligence!  He picked a great wife & his new daughter is beautiful!

But, the old heart, along with my wife's heart definitely have a new hole!!!  The last two days!

Day 1 - drove to Dulles Airport & stayed at a Holiday Inn with Jared, Erliza, & Jamina!  Had a great night!!

Day 2 - headed to the airport and helped with all the luggage!  Said our good-byes and started home!


Supporting a military family is something many families do every day!  And that support mean sending our loved ones all over the world!!!  Jared has been to Iraq 4 times!!!!  This was a little easier - he has a wife & daughter to share the experience!

Three years in Korea!  A logistical challenge!  

The car?  Jared's younger brother Josh is buying it from Jared.
The furniture?  Was shipped a month earlier!
The family?  Lived with us for a month!  Which was awesome!
The clothing & baby stuff!!!  Wow!  Imagine flying a 3 month old!  14 hours straight!  And all the stuff!!  Stroller, bottles, diapers, & your owning clothing!!!!

If you have family or friends in the military, please say thanks!  It is a total family commitment!  Our troops keep our freedom every day!

Our thoughts & prayers are with Jared, Erliza & Jamina!  Korea - here they come!!!!
