I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Jen, her parents, and I went to Arkansas to see her Aunt and Uncle for Thanksgiving. Driving to Arkansas is seriously the longest drive ever. It’s about a 13 hour drive, but it felt like it would never end. Her dad helped with the driving, but even just riding is long. We left Wednesday for Arkansas and left Friday night at 10 to return home. Mike and I drove through the night and got back in Charlotte around 12:30pm. The cheapest gas we saw was 1.53 and that was in Tennessee around mile marker 187 on I-40, just incase your curious.
Today is my last day at the house until Christmas. I leave tomorrow morning at 4am for Fort Bragg. I really can’t believe how quickly time goes. I found out in July I was being deployed in December and hello December. So today will be spent packing the rest of my gear and spending time with the wife. So from today on I will be centering this blog around my deployment. Let me get this out of the way. Even though we have had a change in Office this may or may not affect me. The military is a big moving machine and even if he does want to pull out of Iraq it will take time to move the military. So I will still be leaving and I do not suspect my deployment shortening.
So until next time folks.
