I am starting to get in to the Christmas spirit. I went and bought some Christmas music, a Santa hat (as you can see), and finished my shopping this week. Maybe I'm so in to the spirit because I'll be home soon, but whatever it is I do love this time of year. My friend Rick set up this picture and I thought it was a fun idea to do. To put us in the mood for the picture I was playing Jingle Bells and singing along. Be thankful that you can't hear my singing on this BLOG because it would put you out of the spirit........LOL. We had so much fun setting this up that other people wanted to take their picture with the machine gun. I felt like I was the photo guy at the mall with Santa, It was fun.
It rained here a couple of days ago. It was the kind of rain that had BIG drops but it didn't come down hard. I took a picture if it, so look down below to see what I am talking about. The next morning it smelled so nice outside. The rain knocked down all of the dust, dirt, and pollutants in the air so it smelled so nice out. It was the first time it rained here and it was a nice break from sunny all of the time. At the same time back home they got 4 to 6 inches of snow. Now I wish I was there for that. I always like the first snowfall of the year. It is so clean and the way it hangs on the trees is so pretty. Sarah was telling me all about it and I started to get those pictures in my head. I can't wait to get home on leave and see it with my own eyes. Only 2 weeks left for that to happen.......WooHoo!!!!
Well, today is my day off so I am going to go get a haircut and get a pedicure. Now I know what you are thinking, Dan's at war and he can't get a pedicure???? First off it's ok for a guy to get a pedicure, and second it is not like it is an Avada salon or something. It's a trailer by the PX that's a beauty salon for the girls on post but more guys go than girls. Go figure, there’s like 10 times more guys here than girls. It is so nice, they rub your feet while they do it. After wearing combat boots all day, every day it is a nice treat to give yourself.
As a reminder, I will not be here for Christmas so if you are planning on sending items to me either do it now or after Christmas. I do want to thank everyone that has sent items already. I share everything with my platoon so the guys that don't get much mail can have things also. You all are so nice and I can't thank you enough for your support. Without your support I couldn't do what I do over here.
I have rambled on enough so I will say chow for now. Have a great holiday season and I'll talk to you all next week.
