Another step closer

Ryan made it another step closer to home. He's now in Kandahar, Afghanistan. This area is better than the FOB but still it's not home. What makes this place better? Two things, a PX (post exchange) where he can buy candy and lots of airplanes and helicopters. He actually got to fly in a Black Hawk. He shared with me the experience. The flight was about 30 minutes and there were 11 guys. Since the helicopter was full of men a second one had to follow with all their bags and equipment. They arrived before their stuff so they had to wait close to the runway. All the guys thought it was pretty cool but Ryan especially loved it. He said he was "the guy with the big grin on his face". It almost got him into trouble; he was distracted watching the airplanes and helicopters instead of focusing on getting the bags and equipment.

Here's some of our happenings up in the North Country. And if you thought we were patriotic before, take a look now. We acquired a giant flag (it goes from our living room to kitchen, covering our entire couch).
