Finally
Blogging will be light over the next couple of weeks as take some much needed R&R with my family. I am currently in a holding pattern since there is a sand strom brewing, which is preventing them from giving us a specific flight time. Once that is scheduled I will fly from here to Kuwait, then from Kuwait to Europe (probabaly either Germany or Ireland), and then to the great Republic of Texas.
Despite the current delay I am flying high as a kite and there is nothing that can bring me down right now. I figure by the time I get to the Austin airport it will have been 214 days since I last saw my beautiful family. I know the two weeks will go by all too quickly, but I plan on making the most of every moment.
I heard this song today and it pretty much sums it up:
It’s times like these you learn to live again
It’s times like these you give and give again
It’s times like these you learn to love again
It’s times like these time and time again
(Foo Fighters - "Times Like These")
I'll see ya when I get back.

John - Godspeed to you. You are probably home with your family right now. I can ONLY IMAGINE the elation you are are feeling. Wonder if you'll waste any time sleeping or just stay up the whole time. Sure you'll sleep a little ;-) I so happy for you, Amy and mostly the kids who clearly love their daddy alot! Why wouldn't they??? He's a hero.
Take Care,
Laurie D.
