R&R

Well, I had hoped to post sooner, but as everyone told me it would, R&R went by too quickly, and now it is the day I head back to Iraq and I'm just now making a post.

Katie and I have had a good time together while I've been home.  We've gone camping on Bainbridge Island --breaking in our new camping gear-- and gone to Seattle twice, seeing a Mariners game, the Seattle Aquarium, the Seattle Woodland Park Zoo, the Science Fiction Museum and Experience Music Project, and gone up the Space Needle -- and of course, going to the Pike Place Market.

We also got through all 7 parts of the John Adams mini-series from HBO (a pirated copy bought in Iraq for $10).  What an amazing series, and an even more amazing man!

My unit’s year long deployment is 2/3 through, and I think this last portion of it will go by quickly.  After all, Summer is right around the corner and we will be back before the Summer is through.

Finally, both Katie and I want to thank everyone for your thoughts and prayers.  We really do appreciate your support.
