I was hoping you would say something uncomplicated/drive-thru-ish like, "A whopper." but okay; anything for you babe. I'm not sure that Columbus GA is a lobster pizza kind of town. (That was my first impression anyway.) So what's your second choice? :) Lobster Pizza……

I spent a (very) brief time in TQ on my way to Al Asad, and a few people who go to church with me recently came from there. They say that it is quiet, which is good for your marine. Good luck to you (and him)! <b>Mit:</b> I have it on good authority that there are four packages waiting for me when I get to clinic today. I expect you'll be hearing about it tonight. Watch this space. <b>Lorri:</b> It was indeed fun being poor with you, and those are some great memories. (I'd love to ride around Utah Lake today.) It would be nice to experience the flip side of that coin with you as well... Melody: I’m glad you’ve liked the blog.

I have a hilarious memory that will make you crack up. I thought of it when I saw that picture of you on your bike. Remember those days we used to ride EVERYWHERE? Out to Utah Lake, to Albertsons, to campus..etc, etc.....? I was thinking of that night that we hopped the barricade and rode our bikes around Seven Peaks water park at midnight when it was half built. Anyway,I have no idea how we even got our bikes over that fence. How was that possible? I rather liked those evenings when we were really broke and hungry and we'd ride from 7-11 to 7-11 in quest of chili-cheese hot-dogs. What's the first thing you want to eat when you touch down? Awesome pics! Very cool.

I think the bunkers are for soldiers if the base is attacked. Maybe they can put people and heavy equipment down there to keep it from getting destroyed in the battles. Or, maybe they keep prisoners down there and torture them by drilling into their teeth to get them to give up critical info, like the "marathon man". what do you think, Dad? In a bunker like that, no one would hear you scream! Erik, check out waggonerds.blogspot.com to see my friend's new baby. She is adorable, and so is Wendy. Also check out northwoodscamprentals.com, click on waterfront properties, then on property 131, and you will see where our vacation was this year. It was our second,and probably last vacation, but it was wonderful. When you get here, I will send lots of pix of our vacation. We saw 6 moose, as I'm sure you have heard numerous times. I hope you get those boxes soon. It has been over a week since I sent them. I will die if they don't get there. The girls will never forgive me. I give you credit for biking in weather like that. I guarantee you , the word hot will take on a new meaning for you and you will laugh when people complain about the weather once you get home. I know I can stand on my feet for hours, ever since my twin pregnancy, and never feel a twinge, while everyone else is groaning about their tired and achy feet. Extreme conditions change you in some way on a permanent basis, and you never suffer from the same problems you once did. However, this experience will probably give you ten bad things for every good thing, so it's not the best trade-off. Loved the pictures and loved seeing all of you connected in one piece (o.k., I can't see into your mind, but I'll assume you are still in one piece there.) Becky and Wade are off to the Big Apple or 3 days for a little romantic getaway. Lucky them. I would go to the dentist for 3 days if I could leave my children safely with the grandparents, either set. I know you miss your lovely girls, so excuse my insensitivity. I know you would give anything to be with them for three days. Kids are really a blessing and make a family a family. I love mine, and feel they are growing into interesting young adults. a lot of growing still to do, mentally speaking. I love you, Mit Dad, and Erik,
