facebook link


hey yall,

click on my facebook inbox link below and a video should pop up then click on it to watch it. just a little something that sfc humphrey put together of our time from georgia to now, hope yall enjoy it.

not to much goin on here, meetin some pretty cool people, i will put a picture on here to show ya who i met. never would have thunked that i would have met the governator.

besides that, just the same ol day, finally gettin into a workout routine and my leg is excellent. no problems what so ever. i ran a 7k obsticle course a couple of weeks ago, i finished it in 52 minutes so that was a good metal boost for me and also to see what my leg could take. if you go to http://www.xdogevents.com/ and click on the scramble in the sand it will take you to some pictures and i am in one of them, look kinda goofy though, but when dont i huh. you can also watch a special that is goin to be play on GAC around dec. 9-11, dont know the exact times so check your local times for broadcast, and i should be on there.

hope all is well with everyone and nov. is flyin by so that is awsome, it is always one day down and one day closer to gettin outa here, it will be nice to step foot on american soil. and also leave is comin up in a couple of months and it is very much needed.

God bless you all

5 MONTHS TO GO!!!

well, it is november and this marks the half way point of our deployment here in iraq. though i have gone pretty much since last april. lets see that is ..................seven months ago. i am ready to get away from this place. last month marked the first full month that i have been on duty here in iraq, due to the unfortunate events of my leg. every thing is gettin kinda old. we do the same stuff day in and day out, this is one of the reasons i got outa cookin in the first place. i do miss the quiet time at home and actually sittin on the tractor with my own thoughts. the high stress of workin in a kitchen enviroment and being a person in charge is started to take its toll. we had a pretty big party here and we had alot of cookin to do. though i like the high stress enviroment from time to time and the challenge of gettin everything right is taken head on, i would like quiet time and the comforts of home and my wife erika. the little things in life is what i miss, i encourage everyone readin this to take the time and reflect on all those things that you might take for granit and enjoy them and charish them, those are things that we soilders do miss and cant wait to get back too.
on a more exiting note, it is november and it is always one day closer to leave and also HOME. i can not believe that i am goin to be thirty this month and it marks erika and mine seventh aniversery(i think erika, let me know if i am wrong). it will also mark the tenth year that erika and i have been together and man has it flown and i cant believe that she has put up with my shit for that long. last week craig morgan and chris young were here on a GAC and stars for stripes concert and it was awsome to go to. it was bout and hour or so long and it was an hour to hear music that took you back home where we all were used to hearin the songs played while drivin in our rigs or bein with the ones we love. it was a great stress reliever and much needed. the day after the concert we took the GAC film crew around the JVB and our chews plus we got interviewed and so myself and my buddy garibay will pry be on tv. i think it is goin to air on dec. 9 or 10 around six. so "check you local station for time and brodcast." i will post some pictures from the concert here sometime. well......duty calls and i hafta go and get to work, i am makin shrimp w/noodles and vegies with a form of buddhabellys. i hope all is well with everyone, continue prayin for us all over here and also for the guth family as they are dealin with their loss. love you all and take care
