It is that time of year. A time for family and friends to get together, sing Christmas carols, drink egg nog, and try not to eat too many Christmas cookies or else your New Year’s resolution will be to drop the 15 pounds you gained during the holidays, again. I am so looking forward to being home for the holidays. Because it will go by so fast, I will have to enjoy every minute I have. Sleep will be an "option" during my leave I think.
I spoke with Sarah last night and she told me that she has all of the presents wrapped up and ready to go. Now she can relax and listen to her Christmas music and pet the cats, waiting for me to get home. I can't wait see her and her smiling face greet me at the airport and say..........”I'm happy your home because the cat boxes need cleaning and we need to run some errands.” Just kidding Sarah, I know you wouldn't say that, or would you??????
Well this week we moved out of the hanger and into a shed outside of it because they are remodeling the hanger for a month. They are redoing the electrical so the fire hazards are less, if you know what I mean. They are also repainting it so that we can be at war and look good doing it. It will have better lighting for working at night and they are spraying it with "New Hanger Smell" so that we won’t know it is our old hanger. Anyway, we had to move everything out of it so that was a task in itself. It took a couple of days, but now we are settled into our temporary office and back to work. I'm just glad I'm going on leave so I won’t be around much to work outside instead of the hanger. It does get chilly here at night but not like back home.
That’s it, no more news. My life is pretty dull wouldn’t you say? Eat, sleep, and work, every day. Good thing there is poker night tonight……YEA! I need some Mexico money!!!
Just to let you know, this will be my last post for a few weeks till I return to Iraq. Wish me safe travels and I'll wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Take care.
Dan
