Yes I know

Yes I do realize that it has been like 6 months since my last post. Apparently I am really bad at it. I guess one of my new years resolutions will be to post a blog more often. What is new with me you may want to know? Well I came home to Utah for 3 weeks to spend the holidays with the family. I came out on the 15Th of December and sad to say I leave today. As much fun as it has been to be out here with my family it will be really nice to be at home in my own bed. I'm sure Alex will feel the same way since she has been sleeping in a porta-crib and not her bed, which I'm sure is much for comfortable. The wonderful thing about her being so small is she doesn't know that she can complain and she can't really talk so that is another perk. Well I was able to talk to Jordan today for a little bit. I found out that yesterday afternoon (Sunday) that him and 13 other people went out on a patrol and two IED's went off and killed 4 people and seriously wounded 2 others and many more scrapes and bruises to the rest of the platoon. Jordan received some injuries but he will recover from them. He had a ruptured eardrum and he hurt his knee pretty badly. No one ever said that war was easy and pretty but I never knew what it was like till now. No one knows what it's like until they have to experience it. It's very sobering to hear these things. My heart goes out to those family of the 4 killed and others wounded.
