In Iraq I really only knew a few things to be true – I knew that it was going to be hot during the day and I also knew that it was going to be dark and noisy at night.
When I finally left I rode out on dark and noisy military transport – a continuation of a theme. My camera doesn’t like extremely shaky environments full of low light conditions but I think I captured enough for you to understand how enjoyable the ride actually was for us. If you look at the bottom picture, cram yourself into a closet with 4-6 other people, crank up the volume to the maximum level on your speakers, and sit/stand there for three hours you’ll have a slight understanding of how “comfortable” it was

I’ve uploaded a few more pictures from my time in Iraq in the gallery – link removed
I got home and met a fantastic girl in the airport – well – I it wasn’t the first time I’ve met her but it had been quite a while since I had last seen her.

We went home and she showed me around our house – where we had the lengthy task of unpacking looming on the horizon.

Luckily – I’m a task oriented guy and we got starting working at the task so it could be done – and so we could look forward to the party we were to have that weekend.
The house is complete with a garage and two dogs in the backyard – one of which will flop around like a fish if you ignore her.
We had a party and it was a great time despite me knowing only a handful of the people there – I met quite of few of Jessica’s friends but there names are already a mystery to me – damn short term memory.
Wow… and I thought we had a huge pile of crap in our house, lol…. hope you’re all doing well and get to enjoy a bit of the weekend.
