FOB Smart at 2300 - Monday
Wow! I have been in Afghanistan now for over 79 days and the journey has just begun. It feels as though I left only yesterday, yet the time between then and now is legitimately verified. I am amazed with the experience I have shared to-date and look forward to the many more I am certain will come my way. No regrets, other than missing my wife and son, and family and friends, as much as I do right now; oh, andmy dogs and cat, too. As I have stated several times before, I am so very grateful for this opportunity here in Afghanistan helping people help themselves to live greater and fuller lives than before.
K&K called me on their way to Kaesen's school; he goes twice per week and loves it. I cannot wait to be able to drive him to school again someday. He is growing up so fast; I suppose it becomes especially noticeable when we have such an enormous time and distance separation from our children.
It is late and I am waking early tomorrow... for a two-mile run on the FOB with several coworkers. Sounds fun, doesn't it? Anyway, I am tired from the 10 projects I observed over two missions, one foot patrol and the other a mounted combat patrol, today. Life is good when I am working hard and living the dream...
143, K&K.
Good night and good day.
