The last entry

So this is it! I have been back a week+ now. I have reached for my weapon, I have beeped the horn when I went to back up and I continue to have bad sleep habits. On the good side, I have tightened up the garage, played golf, rode my bike 40 miles. I love being home!

You guys be cool.

Leg 4 done!!


Thanks everyone for following along for the past 15 months. I don't know if this is my last entry but MAYBE!?!?! I am so happy to be home!



Salude!!!!!!!

Remote control and gin/tonic-----life is good!!






Ahhhhh TV!!! 63 inches of fun.












Making my way to the house

Bobbi and I drove back to SA. Lou and John needed a ride to the Houston Airport so they came along. This was our final pic together from the deployment. I couldn't have survived without these two.








We had a little party when I got home. It was a small gathering of friends. I have decided that I look really tired. Some more people showed up but I forgot to break out the camera so these are the only pics I took.

Did I mention it is good to be home!?!?!?

The Welcome home celebration



I really wish I could have taken a picture of the Soldier's faces. Iwas in amazement so I bet there were several that felt the same way.




Great posters and enthusiasm from the family members. It was like 2:30 am.
