Fun times!

Well, been busy, as usual.

I was gunning the other night and initiated a firefight. I observed 5 dismounts in the woodline with AK-47s and a suspicious looking package. It was after curfew, and they had apparently just fired on a broken down semi in that same area. So, we rolled up there and I scanned for them, only taking 5 minutes or so to locate and confirm that they did infact have weapons

The transmission in my Humvee went out, leaving me with no reverse or overdrive. In the middle of a firefight. Luckily, they weren't very good shots! They did almost hit my buddy Matt, but we were superior in firepower. And right after my tranny went out, Matt's truck got a flat! Nice, huh? But, we're blessed beyond belief to have yet to sustain a casualty. Hopefully it stays that way!

Not much new....

Well, not a whole lot going on here. We've been busy, but not with the insurgents...just other boring crap.

I did watch the entire 1st and half of the 2nd seasons of "Lost". It was quite intriguing, but I was disappointed to come to the last episode on the disk. Just have to wait till the rest of it comes out on DVD.

A breath of fresh air.

The chaplain recently came to our tent and held a little bible study. It was quite refreshing, I must say. I've been starved of spiritual food here, as the schedule is so crazy. A few other guys attended and seemed to enjoy it as well. Also, one of my buddies, Matt, and I are going to read the bible from cover to cover. He's never read a single passage. But he wants to do it. So, hopefully, he doesn't get discouraged! I know many strong Christians who have given up this daunting task. So, pray for us!

Other than that, not much new is going on. Just living day to day, dreaming of my future with Amy.

Busy, busy, busy!

Wow, have things picked up out here. Sometimes I feel like I'm going to lose my mind. I'm always trying to do to many things, and I've got about five hundred million more going on in my head. I really need to slow down mentally. And, I think I might need glasses. Trouble focusing on close objects/words, headaches, and my left eyelid WON'T stop twitching! I can't wait to come home!!!
