  • A Lazy Sunday

    After such a busy week, the boys and I are just hanging around today. It is so nice to not have anything that HAS to be done for a change. Being busy is definitely the best thing to try to keep my mind off you. Somehow though, even in the middle of complete...

  • Thursday in Mosul

    12 May 2005 It was noisier than usual last night on Marez; our soldiers were firing 120mm mortars. When large cannons or mortars are fired around you daily, like they were in Baquba, it’s easy to start sleeping through the racket. But since outgoing fire...

  • We are half way home...

    272 days ago you packed your bags and went to the mob station. That day will forever be imbedded in my head. So many times I have closed my eyes and can feel that last kiss you gave me. With tears rolling down my cheeks I drove away with such an empty...
