Here is a picture of me and my interpreter after a mission today sitting in my Stryker. We have some great "terps" and they are truly a combat multiplier. Been a tough couple of first weeks here as Brooke as probably told you but we feel very blessed that all our incidents have just been injuries, most minor. It is starting too get cooler now, if you can call 105 cool. It always strikes me driving through B. how beautiful a city it could be. It really is a shame because this could be a resort city. But I guess a lot of warzones have been like that, especially if you think about the Pacific Islands. The boys are doing well. It is nice to come back to these well establshed operating bases after operations. My room is set up pretty nice. I even have wireless internet here in my room, albeit slow. But I can blog! So I really am blessed. Brooke is about to have Sawyer before the due date...that is my prediction. She has been a real champ with our family support group in the middle of all her challenges so I cannot say enough good things about my companion. I miss you guys. Keep the boys in your prayers please.

Always good to hear from you Mike. I think of you often and you are in our prayers constantly, as are your comrades. Love the pictures, but this one of you on the stryker hasn't come through yet. Maybe it will in the future. You have got a wonderful wife, and I know you know it. What a trooper. Hang in there Brooke!, we're rooting for you too! Just can't say enough about how much we miss you guys. We love you.
