A Soldier's Story: I'm back... but with nothing new

I'm back... but with nothing new

I missed a day, I got sort of wrapped up watching the cubs and it got late so I didn't post anything.

The mail truck came in late today so you will have to stay tuned tomorrow to see what I got :)

I'm back on track with yahoo messenger so for those of yuo that would like to chat with me from about 11 PM until 2 or 3 PM add armyguy8675309 to your users or friends or whatever it is.

Today was the first day I was sort of disappointed in the Dining Facility. I wanted to have a salad and all the had was cabbage and we have been out of tomatoes for a couple of days as well. I imagine our food resupply came in with the mail.

Today was pretty slow, I did my lunch time run thing. I was still sore from playing basketball the other night so it wasn't the fastest run of my life but it wasn't really slow either. I have to be careful on parts of the run. On part of the route there is this roud that goes around the airfield and all that seperates the airfield from the road is about 6 strands of razor wire. I'm always worried i'm going to roll my ankle and fall in it. I usually run far enough away so if I did fall I wouldn;t fall into it.

Tomorrow is my cleaning day, although I do some sort of cleaning almost every day. Even with my trailer all closed up I got dust coating everything daily. The days we have dust storms make it worse.

Well Micca and I just got our webcams going so I am done for now

Later,

Brent

For my Awesome Wife on Mother's day

On Mother’s Day…

I think of the person that is closest to me and how I couldn’t have picked a better roll model for Drake and Ashtyn. I am so lucky to have such a spectacular woman in my life, and our kids don’t realize it, but they have the best Mom in the world.

I know I have said it before but you are everything to me. My best friend, my, my wife (of course duh), and most important to everyone else around us a fantastic Mother.

The things that you do that you don’t even realize set such a great example for our children. It’s the little things that matter and our kids will be so much better for it. Many times I know you feel like you are being too hard but even then you are setting an example, and our kids will thank you for it.

I am so proud of you. I know you think I am bias, but I understand how hard it is for you to operate in your profession and the pressures you face. Add in your motherly duties and I understand how easy it could be to get overwhelmed by events. Your attitude is so awesome. You constantly inspire me to be a better person just to keep up with you. My job and our current circumstances make your job even harder. Being a mother can be tough enough, add in a full time job that puts your life on the line, and then toss in being the spouse of a deployed service member….. you my dear are a “gem” as my Dad would say.

You make me so happy, and by making me happy I can’t help but want to make you the happiest woman on this earth. You truly bring out the best in me and I am sure our children are grateful for that. You have made me a better Dad because you are such an awesome Mother.

Thoughtful…. Is the word I use most when describing you to others. I continue to be amazed by you. Many people think about doing things but you actually think up something and follow through. You are always planning activities to bring our family closer together. Now I know you may give the credit to other people or websites but it is you that is always seeking out ways to bring us closer together. You are the hub of a wagon wheel that we call our family.

My darling wife you never give yourself enough credit and on this day I want you to know how much I appreciate what you do for our family. Mother is just a word and when I look at you and what you do, I now know what the meaning of that word is.

I Love You so very much,

Brent
