Well, hello hello. I hope this finds everyone doing well and in good spirits. It's been a long road for us but we finally arrived here at our little FOB (Forward Operating Base) early early this morning, around 1 a.m. Have been here in Afghanistan since the 6th but it just took time getting to our final destination.
Today was spent with our counterparts who are EXTREMELY excited about getting out of here and heading back home to Texas. Have to tell you, i don't blame them. By years end, i'll be in there shoes training our replacements.
Alittle sad today though, it's my mother's birthday (Happy Birthday Mom), my 2 year anniversary is on the 17th and Brady's 1st year birthday is on the 29th....and here I am...stuck here. I'll be alright though...the thoughts of coming home at the end of the year warm my heart and keep me going.
Well, I have to get going, it's almost 9pm here and I need to get a much needed shower and some sleep.
Talk to y'all soon

Son, although you are sad, which makes my heart break, I 'thank you' for taking the time to wish me a happy birthday. Those two words brought me great comfort because this is the first year you have not had the means to call me. Please work hard and be safe so you can come home soon to your family. We want to be able to hear you bring wishes to us as those special days are reached in all of our lives. I love and miss you! Ma
