Hello again. So I am so so busy at my job and i dont really know what I'm doing fully. And because the program I work on is brand new, nobody can really help me with it. Also, I recently ran my first 15K run. I think that converts to 9.3 miles. Definately the longest I have ever ran. I'm really hoping to do a marathon in the spring. But I sure need some work. I am still sore from the 15K. That night I got to heat Ollie say Mama which was wonderful!!! He was playing on the floor and I was talking to Matt when he said it but I heard it!! Today I got a package and it was like christmas. I got a cute Ollie pic, water balloons, airfreshner, popcorn, a picture frame, a game of some sort, conditioner thanks to Missy and some other things. Well thats all for today.

So... Its been a while since I've blogged. Lots has happened from the end of May until now. I will see how much of it I can remember. I got a 4 day pass and Matt Oliver Mom and Dad all came to Indiana to see me. We had a blast! We went to the zoo and ate out a lot. My favorite part was cuddling with my little Olive. Just hanging out with the Fam was fun too. Sometime after that 4 day pass was up we flew to Kuwait where we climatized and did a bit of training. We stayed in big tents with 3 different units of females. That was interesting! Everywhere we walked in Kuwait was extremely far and it was usually pretty windy so the sand was constantly blowing in every ones faces. I did get to do a couple cool things. I found a place where you pick out a children's book and you go into a little room and video tape yourself reading it and then they send the book and video home. So I read 2 books for Ollie. I got a manicure and pedicure and message at the spa! That was nice. I also played a little ping pong, went to a movie and hung out on my computer in star bucks. After a couple weeks in Kuwait we flew to Iraq. This was probably my most favorite part because I got to sit in the cockpit of a c17 witch was so totally awesome. They let me where a head set too so I could hear everything. I just loved it. I was trying so hard to be cool about it but I couldn't get the big cheesy smile off my face. It didn't even matter that we had been up for over 24 hours. To and from the airport twice. Unloaded and loaded every ones gear on to pallets and trucks at least 6 times. Got on the plane with the 2 cutest 16 year old pilots and then off the plane due to bad weather. It was quite the even to get here but we finally made it and I was so happy! So now we are here and all settled in to out CHU(containerized housing unit). They are pretty nice. We have pretty decent beds, and we both have a locker and a night stand with a lamp. Sounds like my job is going to keep me pretty busy for the year. I will always have something to do. It'll take some time for me to get the hang of it but I think it'll be ok. I work in the motor pool/ maintenance section with 6 other guys who are all pretty nice. Anyways, I will try to keep posting stuff. And I'll work on getting pictures on here too.

XOXOX
