hey

ok so sorry its been so long since i've made a posting here but internet connection is always iffy. so i was finally able to sneak away from the office for a little while tonight and see Toby Keith perform on a USO tour. I've always wanted to see him and even thought it wasn't a full out concert it was still pretty cool especially when he was signing his patriotic songs and needless to say "we'll put a boot in your a**" was sung pretty loud.

Really nothing new to report on here. Not nearly as exciting as my last deployment was but i guess that does make the mom happy. Things are slowly moving along and we have at least started planning the trip home but that makes it hard as well b/c we still have a while to go. I can't imagine if i had gotten over here on time and had to spend the full 15 months. i think the shoulder surgery was worth the pain for that sole reason.

Amanda you will be happy to know that we have both Bonefish Grill and Mellow Mushrooms down in Savannah and i'm a huge fan of both. i can't remember if i've mentioned before but it looks like i'm going to be living with 3 other guys in a house downtown when i get back. still not sure how i feel with going from living on my own for the last 5 yrs to 3 housemates but we are all leaving about 6months after we get back and all want a place downtown so it just works out. i don't think i'd be doing it for longer than 6 months but should be a good way to have a blast when i first get back. ok well thats all i have from here hope everyone is doing great and hopefully i'll see everyone at the weddings if i make it back in time.

Good to hear from you Matt! We are really looking forward to visiting you down in Savannah. Everyone around here talks about how great of a town it is. Once you get settled, just give us a holla! :O)
An apartment downtown with three guys seems alright to me. You should have a blast!

WOW!!! A blog posting!! Awesome!! Our blog has been lacking in participation a bit lately so hopefully this will reinvigorate everyone.

Can't wait to visit Savannah!! Especially now that I know they have a Mellow Mushroom. Seriously, it's the best pizza ever.

Matt,

It was great to hear from you and hear about you coming home! Hang in there.

So can someone explain to me why a pizza place is called the Mellow Mushroom - doesn't make much sense to me.

Matt, using Aunt Paula's account, don't ask. I was going to tell you about the most recent fishing expedition but remembered that I talk to you on Sunday. Everybody else Uncle John, Thomas and Carey and I went fishing - caught three had to throw mine back -1.5 inches short - the story of my life. Matt glad to hear that you are at least planning the trip home; can't wait to see you and to be contacted about a possible application to the FBI. The orioles are actually in first place with a winning record. Happy birthday Will the first round at Zippy's is on you. Uncle Tim
