nothin' new

Hey, there's not really anything new going on here. We've been having crazy sand storms and that kinda blows. well, no it REALLY blows. hard. I just sit in my tower and get rained on.

I started volunteering at the USO here on post and that's been kinda fun. We had a big party on Fathers Day with free pizza, cake, and rootbeer floats. It's nice to have a non work related thing to do. Other than that I've just been working and...well working. :-) I'm suposed to have tomorrow off, but we're shorthanded, so i'm hoping they don't make me work.

I ran a 5K on Saturday for the Army's birthday. well...i completed a 5K anyway. :-) I had to get up at 0530 on my day off to do it so I was pretty proud of myself. hmm...what else?

I'm reading this really cool book called Three Cups of Tea. It's about this guy Greg Mortenson who does humanitarian work building schools, primarily for girls, in rural Pakistan and Afgaistan. It's awesome, you should check it out! Also, along the same vein, my friends Andy and Caroline (friends from DTS in Germany) just left on a missions trip to Pakistan, so please keep them in your prayers.

I really don't know what else to report. One day just runs into the next around here and the only way I even know what day of the week it is is by looking at my watch. Every day is the same. I did finally get to talk to mom though after missing her for weeks. Also talked to Grandma on her birthday. The Army turned 233 on Saturday (it shares it's b-day with Grandma.) OK...rambling done. love you guys! tootles!
