Back in Afghanistan

I am back safely here in Afghanistan. The trip back was long, but uneventful. I was stuck in Atlanta for a good part of a day, but at least I didn't have to stay overnight. From there I flew to Kuwait had a layover in Ireland for about two hours before we headed out for Kuwait. In Kuwait it was kinda chilly and rainy. The desert is miserable in the winter time, all that blowing sand turns into a slimy muck when it rains. I got stuck there for two days which I suppose isn't bad, but I was glad to get out of there. From there we flew straight to Bagram on another uneventful flight. I got lucky and only spent a couple of hours in Bagram before I got down here to Kabul this morning. I didn't want to come back, but at least the trip is over. Traveling with the Army is never fun. I had two Masters classes start on Monday and they both look like they will be fun, but very challenging, which will be good. So long as I can stay busy time flies by. Now that my R&R leave is over I'm counting the days until I can be home again. Right now I'm just trying to get caught back up and figure out what to do for my new classes. It will keep me really busy. I will try to keep this updated better this half but we will see. It was great to see everyone while I was home and congrats to Jonathan and Julie on their wedding.
