Missing Everyone



I was going through my pictures and found a couple of my favorites. The waterfall was in South Dakota when we were on our way to Okinawa in 2006. Guy looks so much younger. I don’t know when the picture of Ava was taken but I always get a kick out of it. I can’t wait to get back and give everyone hugs and kisses!!!

I see that the Vikings took my guy! I am hoping that will get us one playoff win this year. I am not so sure that we have the right quarterback….

The weather is turning hot here. It stays in the 80’s even at night. The dust is constantly blowing. It makes you wonder why people don’t leave. It is really a nasty climate. There really is not a lot new out here. It is pretty much the daily grind. Nothing exciting.

Marines are starting to get antsy. We have had some people getting on each others nerves but that tends to happen when your world consists of about two square miles. We still haven’t had anybody get into trouble. That has been a pleasant surprise. I would have figured someone would have been caught with alcohol or cohabitating with a female by now. Either they are slick or doing the right thing. I am guessing they are slick. Or no one is looking for shenanigans.

I have been thinking about what I want to do when I get back. I know for sure that I will have to come up and get my truck. I don’t think I want to drag Ava on another Midwest tour. I am guessing that I am going to fly up spend a couple of days visiting and drive back. The thing about it is I cannot give out any dates. The Corps gets pretty grumpy when you disclose redeployment dates. I will be able to give some notice though because I will be in North Carolina first. I know it is still really early but I have been missing everyone so much lately I figured I would mention my initial plan. I particularly want to see how Jeff’s beards of the civil war project is coming along…..and maybe get some key lime pie! Hopefully I will have time to thrash the Phoenix with some conditioning drills. I really miss Mom and Grandma….and brownies……and potato salad.

I hope everyone is doing well. Leave a comment. I love y'all!!

  1. The Phoenix have been asking about you...you would have been amazed to watch them tear up the bases yesterday...I was in awe and I get to work with the team all the time. Love it when they impress like they did.

    I really think there is a strong possibility we are going to end up with Favre.

    Basement is always open no matter the date...show up at 2am we'll let you in.

  2. I heard on the radio today that supposedly (this is a rumor at this point) Farve flew into Minneapolis on a private plane last night. I hope we take him. He would have to be better than Jackson and it would be so much fun to see all the Green Bay fans I know go into hysterics!
    Whenever you come back I promise you your weight in brownies and potato salad.
    I miss you, kid.
    Take care.

  5. We can't wait to hear that you are on your way home. We were wondering if we could come and vist you after you get back from your trip up north? We would love to meet your family.
    Take Care and be safe
