Wow, I hadn't realized it has been nearly two weeks since I last updated the blog. We have been busy lately finishing up things as we prepare to head back home. I didn't seem real until yesterday when our replacements arrived here in Mosul. It was a great moment as I watched the doc replacing me step off the C-130 and onto the tarmac at the airfield. I haven't felt that good in over 6 months.
It has been 183 days seen I left Christen and the kids early in the morning on the 28th of February. And now with each passing day the excitement continues to build. It has gone from months ... to weeks ... and now finally to days until I'll be returning back home to San Antonio. As of right now I am scheduled to fly out of Iraq next Thursday, September 3rd. I'll spend 1 day in Kuwait, and then fly from Kuwait to Ft. Benning in Georgia on September 5th. And if things go smoothly I should be back home in Texas by September 7th. I'll keep you all updated as I prepare for the long journey back to America.
