Fort Lewis Washington

Well I have been in Washington for about a week and a half now and everything is going fine. The weather out here is nice cool in the mornings and pleasant all day. Though this is great now I am not looking forward to the change when we get to Kuwait. Training in the Georgia heat would be better for training because it would not be such a large change but we cant change things now. Things should start to pick up as we finish out our training here. I will be home for 2-5 July to visit before I leave to go and I cant wait to see everyone.

I will be updating this post with pictures and other news as things continue to move forward out here. I hope everyone is doing great back home.

Calm before the Storm

Lindsey and I were able to get away for a week to spend some time together. For those that don't know we went to Ocho Rios, Jamaica for the week before I was scheduled to start working at the unit. We had a wonderful time and some interesting experiences. It was really great to get away and be able to focus our energy and time on each other with no distractions. While we were there it rained a few days but it really didn't bother us. Though dealing with the crazy people selling stuff at Dunn's River Falls was an experience we both are fine not reliving. We got to have a photo shoot which was really neat. Everywhere you went there was always someone snapping a picture. We got to go sailing and ate some good food but most of all we spent as much time as possible together. Having been through a deployment before we both know that it can be taxing due to poor communication capabilities and the time difference so it was important to load up on memories before I left. We had a great time and many great memories for both of us to take into the next year.
