Sept. 11

I cant believe how long ago it was and yet.... I'm still fighting here in Iraq. But, today was quiet in Scania and I'm very glad its over. We had a ceremony for our higher ups to say "hey, you can wear your combat patches now". ;)
Its so weird to finally wake up and not be freaked out about where i am.... I guess I"m getting institutionalized :)
Its nice getting used to things though, even though they are still pretty shitty... but I take it day by day and breath!
Oh, I should be home sometime in October!! :) I'll spend most of my time with my fam in GP but I'm hoping to at least spend a long weekend in P-town and the 'couve. I miss it there. But not as much as GP and Abby;s Pizza!! :)
So, I love you all, miss you! See you soon

Update

Sorry everyone.. its looking like I cant upload photos while I'm here... we are trying to get a new internet provider out here but the up front costs are seeming to be a little steep. Hopefully though we can get it soon.
I've gotten many care packages and I'm so blessed with such wonderful caring friends and family. I hope every one is healthy and their lives are going well.

I'm having problems with the lack of sleep I get but the Doctor gave me sleeping pills to ensure that when I do have time that I"m getting the most out of it.
Several 20 something hour days in a row can do that to you I guess. :)
I'm actually working the in office now for 12 hour shifts on a program that the Army ripped off from GIS! How funny is it that I'm doing something I actually know how to do in the Army? I almost forgot how that felt. But they still dont take my advice on how to make things more stream lined and efficient... they will learn.
Miss you and love you all!
