Welcome 2009!
Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year! It is well into the 1st day of 2009 here in Baghdad. We have today off so I had a chance to sleep in this morning. My room was overflowing with care boxes...remember from the video of my room ? I can stand in the middle and spread out my arms and touch the walls. Well, that may be a bit of an exaggeration, but trust me it's not too far off. Needless to say I needed to find a way to unpack some of the boxes. So yesterday when I had a chance to swing by the PX, I picked up a plastic three drawer organizer. Just an easy, cheap way to give me some more storage area in my room. When I was talking to my brother Erik on Christmas, he asked if I needed anything. I told him I probably wouldn't need any resupplies until March :) The care boxes have been such a blessing. I got rather used to getting mail almost daily, and the disappointment of 3 days straight of no mail is hard to take, but I'm reminding myself that every week can...
