Update on Blake...

Sorry guys... I don't think I am going to get Blake on this computer and write about NTC. But I did find some pictures of him that his team lead Whitaker took so I will post a couple on here. Pictures from NTC at Fort Irwin, California.
The 2nd picture is of Blake and his team leader Whitaker, the 3rd picture is Blake and his friend Massaro (these are of course their last names because that's what they go by in the Army, which is funny because that is how i know most of the guys in his unit, by their last names not their first names) The 4th picture is Blake in his truck! Blake and his team leader Whitaker had to drive this truck out to their mission and the truck had no windows and no roof. And of course on their way out, it started raining, which turned into hail. So funny story... but they were not happy! The 5th picture is of Blake shooting a guy jumping out of a window, since they were only training he didn't actually kill someone but he will be killing in Afghanistan.

Here we are again

Daisy and I are back from Alabama. We got home early Monday morning around 2:30 am. So I was pretty tired, but couldn't sleep all day like I wanted to, because I had to go to work at 12:45. But its ok! Alabama was a lot of fun! I got to see all of my friends, and family. The first week I was there, I had to take Daisy to get surgery. She had a bladder stone, and since it was cheaper in Alabama we did the surgery there. The surgery went perfect and you can tell that she feels a lot better! Daisy loved playing with Eli, my dad's dog. She also loved going outside without being on a leash. It always took forever for us to get her back in the house. But she is doing good! Still spoiled as can be! The last day I was in Alabama it snowed! It never snows in Alabama, so I don't know what happened! But my flight was cancelled and I was put on another one and I was so thankful that I actually got out, because Delta had cancelled more than 300 flights for Sunday and Monday! I'm doing good, just kinda tired. It's Thursday and I have yet to unpack. I hate that part of traveling! But after this blog I am going to unpack and clean the house because... BLAKE IS COMING HOME! I am so excited that February is over and Blake is coming home! Its crazy that it has already been a month! He was supposed to come home on Friday but yesterday he called and said that he isn't coming home until Saturday! Which is sad but at least he has Monday off! So now we only have about 3 months left together until he deploys. So please pray for us that we will be able to spend as much time together as possible, and that we will find out his leave dates and his deployment dates soon! Its crazy to think that June is right around the corner! But Blake is so excited to be going over there! He is ready to go, so I'm ready for him to go, get it over with and come home! As soon as we know anything I promise to tell whatever I can. We probably wont be able to tell you where he is actually going because most of the time it is classified, but we will be able to tell you that is he is going to Afghanistan and when he actually leaves. So again pray for us, and pray for the rest of the families in Blake's company! Well alright this house is a mess and I need to start cleaning! I will write soon and let you know how Blake's training went! I might have him write a blog about NTC... you never know!!
