Pictures of Jason inAfganistan

Im so glad our boy is home. Here are some pictures that were sent to me from another girls whos husband is still over in Afganistan. Please continue to pray for our troops!

My worst FEAR came true

My worst fear came true. While Jason was over in Afganistan,we get a phone call on Sept. 10 from Nikki that Jason was alive but he had been shot 3-4 times. I FREAKED out needless to say! She reasurred us he was alive and he was coming home, and the good thing is,he wouldnt have to go back. I was a mess I couldnt believe my baby was shot.

We got home and listened to our messages and Jasons sweet voice was on there, Mom and Dad, its me Jay,they flew me to Bostic and then there flying me to Germany, Ive been shot, I was shot in the hand and my knee and both my thighs, Then he goes on to say, Im going in surgery right quick and I will call you guys when I get out. I love you mom and dad. Our hearts were broken, I cried for hours and then he finially called at about 3 in the morning. He was in a lot of pain,but he was ALIVE. His life was spared and we are so thankful. Sadly though his LT Tyler PARTEN was killed in the attacked and 3 others were injured and being flown with him. One just happened to be his SGt. and very good friend. Nikki is actually living with his wife so its kind of ironic that they were both shot. We left monday night to go see our baby, words cant express the relief and sadness I felt when I seen my baby coming out of surgery and them wheeling him to his room. He reached out to me and said MAMA? I told him were here honey and we love you and everything is going to be ok. He improved tremendously over the week we were there and we were able to spend a lot of time with our grandbaby Carson. Nikki has been a solid rock through this whole thing and we are so thankful for her and her courage. Jason was shot in the hand and still has a lot of shrapnel in it but its going to be ok. He was also shot in the left thigh and has over 150 stitches in it and the bullet hit the muscle and just tore all the fat and skin away. He had a hole the size of a softball, its ok. The right thigh was also shot and it actually cracked his femur bone, it also has a lot of stitches. The right knee cap was shot on one side and the bullet went through the other side. That is probaly the hardest and most painful one at this point. But hes been getting therapy and he is improving, hes walking with crutches and was just transferred to a rehab hospital. We are so thankful that his life was spared and that he is home with his beautiful wife and baby. He will be here for the birth of Landon which hes due in November.He misses his troop over thRE,but he knows too that hes thankful to be home. Please pray for our troops over in Iraq and Afganistan,they need our prayers...Thanks for all the prayers,cards,texts,meals,calls,emails,treats and hugs we recieved on Jasons behalf. We so appreciate them!GOD BLESS THE USA!

Taylor was mad and was telling us on the way home,GREAT IM GOING TO HAVE TO LISTEN TO THIS ALL WEEKEND LONG! lol so I am being nice(I wont start bragging until Monday)We love you Taylor THanks for being such a great kid!

Happy 4th of July

I have always been so thankful for our freedom, I have always been so patriotic, but never as much as I am this year with my sweet boy serving over in Afganistan. I am so proud of him,he is sacrificing his life for other people so they can be free to choose.I Have hanging in my window out front a flag that has a star in the middle and it represents that we have a family member over in war. I never thought one of my children would be fighting in a war.
I will pray every day for his and other service members safe return and constantly thank them for there unselfish service to serve and protect us...
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO!

THIS SONG IS AWESOME ALONG WITH THE VIDEO ENJOY:)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q65KZIqay4EI have been thinking a lot of Jason and all of the other military men and women over in the zone of WAR fighting for your country and how blessed I feel that we still have people in America today that will still fight for our freedom. Please pray for our servicemen and women. I talked to Jason today and he said hes doing good its just crazy over there and wishes he could be home with his family.He is glad to be doing what hes doing its just hard. I miss that boy so much and am just thankful he has family members and friends that are supporting him. Nikki is a good little wife and mother and he couldnt be doing what hes doing if she wasnt such a great support to him, i am so thankful for her.thanks for all your support and keep praying!Love lynda

Sleep with one eye open!

Jill and her little friend Carolyn and Carolyn's sister decided to TP my house one day after Volleyball, we had just got done Tping Jen Tanners car and Jill decided she wasn't done. I thought it was Jen, but after doing a little investigating I found out who the real bandits were. I told them to sleep with one eye open cuz they don't know when their time is going to come...Payback's are a BLEEP, but they are going to be FUN!!!It makes me feel like were teenagers again lol, only we don't run as fast as we used too!!All in fun! ALL IN FUN!!!!! They did a pretty dang good job!
