It’s going by way too fast.  I have already been here more than a week!  Its been really nice to see my family and spend time desperately needed with them.  My daughter is growing up so fast!  When I left last fall, she was speaking words, now she speaks sentences and knows things I would have never guessed a two year old would know.  We have spent a lot of time just hanging out.  I went and adopted a beautiful blue heeler/beagle mix puppy from a local no-kill shelter.  She is so sweet and I swear has already decided my daughter’s safety is her job.  If I could just get her completely housebroken!

Its going to be hard leaving here in a few days and returning to Iraq.  We aren’t even halfway thanks to the extensions, and I’ll be missing yet another Anniversary, Christmas, and set of Birthdays.  I just hope things end up for the better in the long run.
