So I'm ending this year in a pretty unique way. I'm sitting in a little sandbox called Kuwait. It's not exactly the most appealing place to spend new years eve, but being here has great implications.....I'M DONE!!!!
That's right. I'm on my way back to the states. I've left Afghanistan for what I hope to be the last time. I still have a few weeks at Ft. Lewis before I'll actually go home, but I'm one step closer.
I've had an interesting year, and will probably have an even more interesting year to come. I have a wife to get reacquainted with, a baby girl to meet and raise, a career to find, and a million other things. It'll be just as challenging as the last year was (and even more rewarding).

22 December 08 - Anniversary
Today's Nikki's and my anniversary. I really wish that I could be home for it.
Luckily for Nikki and me, my parents are going to take Nikki out for dinner (if the snow lets up). If they do that, then at least she won't have to be alone for the day. I owe my family a humongous thank you for all the help that they've given us. They've fixed things, painted, visited, and just been there for us during this whole deployment. It has been immensely easier to get through this time with their help.
Nikki has been such a trooper, too. She's maintained a positive attitude for the whole deployment. I don't know how she's able to handle being all by herself with a baby on the way, but somehow she does. Not only does she manage by herself, but she's been a constant support for me, too. It's so nice to be able to call home after a frustrating day and have at least one positive conversation.
I love you and miss you so much, Nikki. I can't wait to be home with you again. Happy anniversary.
