So, it's been officially announced that sometime in mid-August I'll be returning home. That means I officially have less than two months left in Iraq. I'm glad it's finally coming to an end. The deployment hasn't been as day in and day out dangerous as previous ones, but it's still choppy out there. Lastly, it's obviously terrible missing home. After this deployment, I never again will have to miss countless major events in my life!
We're about to celebrate 4th of July here. Last 4th of July was spent in the heat of Louisiana at the Joint Readiness Training Center getting ready for this deployment. One year later, here I am. However, at least I know that I'm close to the end and not just in the preliminary stages.
What else.... Planning some weekend trips, BBQs, and such for when I get home. I'm certainly looking forward to going to the Gorge and seeing Dave Matthews Band with Shayna. Anyways, time moves slowly when you have so much to look forward to in life!
