Home on Leave

Just a quick note to say that I made it home for my Mid Tour Leave!! It was a long and uncomfortable trip but knowing that I was about to see my family made it worth the suffering.
It had snowed in the mountains the day before I come home so imagine the visuals! Just hours before I was in a vast sea of sand and nothing but sand, and next I see the beautiful Wasatch Mountains with snow covered peaks. If I was an emotional sort of guy, I might have shed a tear!!

Tammy and Jake made a lot of nice improvements to the house and yard while I was away. I was glad to see that I didn't come home to a long list of chores to fix.

Well more to follow, but for now I am going to put the war on hold and enjoy the next two weeks with what really matters, my family!
