Home Visit

I am finally validated to leave for duty in Iraq. My duffles are packed and ready to go. I have been able to come home for a brief visit before traveling to Iraq because the flight out of country has been delayed. All the poor folks stuck at Fort Bliss have to move into "tent city" to make room for the next set of mobilized soldiers. Tent city is a permanent tent set up like a dorm with heating and cooling but no privacy.
I am savering every moment at home. Cole and Jay have an awesome routine in place. When I layed him down tonight he went right to sleep. He looks like he has grown an inch since I left 2 weeks ago. I can't imagine how big he will look after 3 months!

Heidi,
Glad to see that you were able to come home and visit family before leaving for Iraq. I have been enjoying reading your blogs. It sounds like you are getting a very unique experience out there.
Good luck in Iraq. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Take care
Shreeja.
