Pat's Favorite Newbie Of The Week

Active Rain has a newbie who is an American hero, and I am loving his blog posts.

On his first day as a full fledged fully-licensed real estate agent in Knoxville, Tennessee, he got a call from the army calling him back to active duty for a second tour of Iraq. . And this newly-wed, newly licensed guy went to Iraq, and is blogging from there.

Nicholas Bush's blog posts give us a glimpse of what our young heroes are doing that doesn't really make it to the six o'clock news, although, as he says, he's got to leave out a bunch of the details.

And he also share his dream of jump starting his real estate business so he can hit the ground running when he comes home from serving his country.

I've subscribed, and I check in every day to see what he has to say - and to make sure he's OK!

So, Nicholas, a warm welcome to Active Rain. I'm reading your wonderful posts and praying for your safe return. And, of course, I'm thanking you for your service to our country.

Pat, I will need to subscribe. Our son got back from his second tour of Iraq in March and out of the Army May 2nd. He starts college on Monday. It will be interesting to keep up with his blog.

Pat - Great choice. Andrea Schwindler (sp?) featured him last week. His blog really moved me. And good for all the rainers who support his efforts, while he is supporting us.

Nicholas, welcome to AR. Patricia is giving you some good jump start and you will see quite a number of people visiting your blog. But if she says it is worth doing it, it is.

Good luck on AR

Patricia: Thank you for writing about this! I've subscribed and I look forward to reading Nicholas' blogs. My son is going to Afganistan in the fall and I want to mentally prepare for it... So far I'm in denial... Maybe this will help.

Pat . . and everyone else . . . I want to thank all of you for your support. I have said this so many times here on AR and still can't seem to say it enough. THANK YOU. Very few of us here would be able to do what we do if it wasn't for the support that we receive from home. I have several of my fellow soldiers here that are constantly reading with me to see how much support and how well AR has been responding to our situation. It is a blessing that I found this place with so much support.

I just need to say it again . . .that you so much for your support.

Hey.... Sally, there is no swindle in MY name... LOL. And to think, I never ever wanted to use my hubbys name so I kept my maiden name.... :(

Pat, I knew I could count on you!

Nick is a great guy, worthy of our support!
