My cousin is no longer in Iraq. He’s been deployed there since April 2007 with the 4th Stryker Brigade out of Fort Lewis. He left the day before my 21st birthday and he’ll be returning right about when his wife Kristena turns 21. His daughter Amaya, whom he’s only seen for a few days right after she was born, is going to start walking any day. He’ll be returning to a new sister-in-law and a new nephew. We’re all really excited for him to come home. It will be good to see him, and even better to know he’s not over there anymore.
Welcome
I'm Lisa Waananen, a journalist and recent graduate of Washington State University, where I majored in communication and political science while not busy writing or editing for The Daily Evergreen. Now I write, experiment with photography and graphics, and worry alternately about not having a job and getting a job I don't like.

Seeing the ribbon on the Sahlberg tree makes me even more glad that we are going over with Laurie and Bill this Sunday to see Adam. I presume that you are starting your job so can not go with – He will be over in Spokane fairly soon to be in his cousins wedding. We will be home on Tuesday.
