Haven't left yet and the anticipation is killing me. It's been 6 months since we got word we would be leaving in November. The date seems to be settling on the 22nd. I will be back in Austin for the second half of October and I hope to see all my friends and family (and tell them about this blog.)
I'm not big into the public forum's but, seeing as I will be out of regular contact for the next 1.5 years, I figured this would be the easiest way to keep everyone updated. While I am in Iraq I will post all my goings-on to this site. I say this with the caveat that I will be busy ocassionaly and unable to post for quite possibly weeks at a time. Although I anticipate this being a rare occurrence, I bring it up as a preemptive strike against all the worrier's I know. If you haven't been paying attention to anything so far, please make note of the following sentence. IF I HAVEN'T POSTED IN A WHILE DO NOT WORRY, SEND FRANTIC EMAILS OR CALL MY CHAIN OF COMMAND. I'M PROBABLY JUST BUSY.
Now that that's out of the way. Welcome to my blog and your window into my life while I'm on vacation at The Baghdad Desertside Resort. I should have pictures up soon and keep checking for updates. Thank you, come again.
