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.

Well it is my understanding that we can only write if the letter is packed in cookies. I went to the post office and picked up the necessary label for the cookie express. What is your favorite kind? ...and can you trade your patrol duty for cookies???

P.S. Am I really the first one 'blogging'? :)
well... I have never blogged and this will be the only site I Blog on. I will do my best to keep the Loving Ladies in your life back here in Texas from calling your commander.
I am guessing the beer has been flowing leading up to your departure!
Be safe

Oh, how the time flies....
Just wanted to let you know that you are loved very much and well thought of, I wish I could have been there in Austin that weekend that you had your party because I haven't seen you in quite sometime and it would have been neat to see you before you departed.
Take care,
Cousin Kimberly
Glad you made it to the Middle East safely...am hoping for a continual trend in that direction. Love you young man.

well considering all the boys in our family, we've smelled some stink from time to time. glad to hear you are warm and that life is quite enough to almost sound mundane but always keep vigilant and stay safe. i have the february cookie express, so if you have a special request let me know.
love,
aunt davette
