30 Days of Thanks- Day 9

I am very thankful for technology.  Especially internet and cell phones.  I can call my parents or am at least able to communicate with them everyday.  When Rick was at Basic Training, the majority of our communication was through the mail.  He only called me about 4 or 5 times that he was there for those 8 weeks.  But I am so happy that we were able to stay connected through letters.  It made me realize how lucky I was to listen to his voice on the phone when he did call.  So, I'm thankful that I can keep in touch with family, friends, etc.  And I am so thankful for Skype... I am sure that I will be putting this to good use with Rick whenever he has to leave for extended periods of time.
