6 Weeks
Today (Saturday March 27th) marked 6 weeks since I left the U.S. If I do that 4 more times it should be about time for R&R. If I do it 8 more times it will be about time for me to come home. As it is we are about to enter into 100 days of wind. Our spring that brings sand and dust storms and destroys not only any semblance of cleanliness but also tents, portajohns, and DoD personnel. I have gotten a lot done and read a lot of books and studies a lot and am working on getting school going. All I need at this point is TA in order to start taking classes online. I hope to leave the Corps with my AA degree and am 18 credits closer than I was before I joined. I am also getting interested in names. Perhaps kids will be in me and Mel's future before too long. It is just a thought for now, but there won't be much holding us back. Again, my one great prayer request for us is that our marriage will be strengthened by this deployment. Immensely. That is all for now.

You gotta check out Pheaney & Brittany Lindell's blog sometime. They are expecting they're 3rd child any day now. For weeks and weeks they have posted possible names for their baby. They have already selected it, but are allowing blog followers to "vote" on what they they it will be. Each week, they remove one of them. She is due in two weeks and there are 5 names left. Kind of a fun way to keep us all in suspense. I'm just saying . . . :)
