Ride

It was a pretty night tonight so I jumped on my bike and knocked out 10 miles. It was nice feeling the wind in my hair and the sun on my face. I loved the feeling of the blood pumping through my veins and the adrenaline rush of charging a hill. Good times!

In Kansas City

In Kansas City for the long weekend. Plan on soaking up BBQ sauce, eating lots of seafood, and drinking and dancing till dawn. Should be a fun time!

Just Stuff

I am on vacation this week helping Kate acclimate to civilian life. Today I went out to the lake to make sure the Kathryn was all snuggled into her slip. She was happily floating along waiting for the afternoon storm.

Kate is home

After many misadventures Kate is finally home. She made it out of Balad without much difficulty but sandstorms kept her on the ground in Doha. Thankfully she is home safe and sound and our lives can return to normal.

Dog Attention

A bowl of ice cream will make you very popular.

Kate is coming home

I just got word that Kate will start home from Iraq at 11:30am CDT on the 15th (tomorrow). Yeah!!!! I am so excited I can hardly stand it. I will be relived when she is out of Iraqi airspace.

Saturday

It is a gorgeous morning here in the mid-west. It is calm and cool outside and the sun is shinning brightly. I laid in bed for a while and now I am up and about. As is often the case, I am torn between what I need to do, and what I would like to do.

I would like to be out on my bike. The windy blowing in my hair, my blood racing through my veins as I charge down the road. Unfortunately, at the moment, I have other obligations. Dang, in a perfect world I could take care of my have to's and my want to's at the same time. :) After obligations are done maybe I will go to the zoo.

My Birthday

My birthday was Monday and someone special was very nice to me. :)
