Today was like most other days, hot and sunny thats no big surprise. I took care of the usual issues and even got a few more things done than usual. The new Special Forces guys came in and we got to talking and they mentioned they had brought a couple of chemical guys. So I got to meet a couple of guys that were doing the job I had back in the late 90s. It was pretty cool to be able to talk about my career field with others that had some similiar training. Until they showed up Loren and I were probably the only two chemical guys in 300 miles. We are a rare breed and it's not that often you get to chat with peers and what not.
Other than that not much else to talk about. Tomorrow is friday I think. It's Pizza day on Friday's I think. The days all run together and the best thing I can do to pass the time is stay busy. I don't seem to have any shortage of work so staying busy shouldn't be to hard.
Another day in the book and today is 2 months in country as well as 3 months being married. Poor Micca marries me and then I run off. I'm pretty sure she knew what she was getting into but didn't realize how difficult it would be for us to be apart. She is quite the woman but like most struggles with my absence. I miss her and the kids dearly and really would rather be home than here any day. Micca and I joke around alot but I know we use that to cover up the pain we both feel. Those of you who don't know us really would have a tough time understanding how inseperable we are in our free time. Even when we have to do seperate activities we will try to be together when we are doing them. I use to drive to go get the kids and Micca didn't have to go because she needed to sleep since she works thirds. Often she would just ride and sleep on the way. Ok enough about that, but you can see where my mind is most nights.

Brent: Thanks for sharing your Memorial Day tribute. Pictures and text were very moving.
Summer has officially started with the kids. We had a bunch of giggling girls here Tuesday to celebrate end of elementary school and "Swimmin' into Jr. High" party. Yesterday we ventured over to Nauvoo to take in all of the sites there. Reminded me of when you guys took your field trip over there in 5th grade. It was a beautiful day to visit and the girls enjoyed it all. Logan was the lucky one to bring home the little horseshoe from the blacksmith's shop.
We're having a rainy dark day here today. We've had plenty of ups and downs in the weather department.
Looks like you are making progress on your deck. Probably makes the time go by when you are so busy.
There's a Support our Troops golf outing/pork chop dinner coming up on June 14. Hope it's a successful fundraiser.
We continue to enjoy the laughs at Wed. nite shuffleboard ..... no skill required to have a good time. Ha Ha.
Keep up the good work over there and take care of U. J
