    A Soldier Remembered

    Spc. Dustin Kendall

    Last weekend Allan, my brother-in-law, found out that one of his best friends, Dustin Kendall, was killed in Iraq. Dustin went to college with Allan and they were roommates.

    I didn’t know Dustin extremely well, but what I did know of him made a very good impression on me. Dustin was always smiling. He was a very funny guy that could always make you laugh, and he was a very likeable person that left you feeling positive.

    Allan and Brad were interviewed by some local news stations the other day to talk about his life. After watching the news stories, I was very proud of Allan. Allan has always been a very loyal friend, and he should be very proud of how he was such a good friend to Dustin.

    Let’s all join in by celebrating the sacrifice that Dustin made for our freedom and keep his friends & family in our prayers…

    Down, but not out

    Author: Casey | Posted in: Random Thoughts

    Well, I’ve been sick for the past five days. I went into the Emergency Room on Sunday night with severe abdominal pain. Everyone (including myself) thought it was appendicitis. After much poking and prodding by the ER doctors and nurses, they ran a CT Scan to see what it was. After about a half an hour the doctor came back and told us it was mesenteric adenitis. I had never heard of that, but apparently it’s a viral infection of the abdominal lymph node.

    So, after about a five hour ordeal in the ER, we came back home with a diagnosis and some pain meds. I then proceeded to sleep for the next three days and not eat much at all. Yesterday morning, I woke up feeling much better with only a little bit of pain. Today, I’m back at work and almost 100%. For those of you that were worried about me, thanks for the concerns and prayers!
