Afghan Update



Hello everybody,

I just wanted to drop a blog post on everyone for an overall update. Things are going well here, we aren't flying to much just because of spring weather. I hurt my back yesterday, just rolling over in bed. I guess it is a sign that I am getting older, but nobody worry it is already starting to feel a little better. To date I have flown about 165 hours in country so I am getting more experience. I am also going to post some pictures with this update so my relatives from Chicago can see what is going on here. Dad should show them the blog when they get to Arkansas. As far as school is going I am still taking two classes at a time, and after I am finished with the next two classes I will be completely finished with the general studies portion of my degree and can start taking the more in depth core classes, which I am looking forward to. Needless to say I am sick of taking english courses. To the Pensacola team, I haven't heard from you guys in awhile I hope all is going well, I am sure you are still doing some grieving. To my mom, I love you and thank you for taking so much of your time to send me packages. For everyone Dena is doing well, she is pretty lucky this pregnancy because Nick seems to be sitting high, she is 29 weeks this week, and she hasn't had to start waddling yet. Emily is signed up for softball, which starts June 1st, this also happens to be Nick's due date. So if anyone out there wants to volunteer to help out with that let me know. Both the girls are taking two dance classes, and their recital is coming up soon, ask Dena about the specifics. Ryan is basically just being Ryan, from all the newest sets of pictures I have seen he is getting really tall, and he likes to talk using what we call complicated words. It is pretty entertaining because nothing he says really makes any sense, because it is just a bunch of complicated words thrown together. I will be running a half marathon on the 2nd of May, I expect it to be kind of boring because it is hard to run new places on a fob that is only 2 miles square. But I will get a cool medal out of it that I will probably wear around everywhere I go. Well I will talk to all of you later.

on the left you see i was ablt to post the fearless picture as my avatar! The Tarmac picture enlarged is awesome, it is probably as close as I will get to the Himalayan mountains,how does the air feel there? We had tornados in East AR last night, it has been about a year since the tornados wrecked Mark Stanley's house and the weather is starting up again. How is it different where you are? love you, mom

try strengthening your core. The WII fIT is supposed to be good for that, using the balance board. I love the new pix!!

It is May, and I am reflecting on how blessed I am to have you for a son. Your Dad just called a bit ago and mentioned his main "mission" for the grandchildren was to let them know how important it is to have an education, to get their college degree and how that opens doors for a larger life. It is interesting how reciprocal parenting becomes over time. I love the way you continue to set goals and strive to acheive them. I sent a link to your blog to Carol WIlson, who was the host family for your Spanish tutor Cati, she is going to send this link along to Cati who is now earning her living as an artist. Hope you hear back from her! BACK TO WORK~! I found a way to "visit" the blog through my comments though I can't visit my OWN blog! Banana bread and coffee mailed yesterday to you and to the kids, love you all, Mom
