A little fun and excitement

It's Saturday. Most of you are probably enjoying a well earned day off, cutting the grass and relaxing around the house. We're at work. But, it is Saturday so we are still trying to have some fun. We took a long lunch break and went to the Haji-mart to do a little shopping. It was a successful trip as I was able to get all 18 seasons of "The Simpsons" on DVD for just $30. They don't have those available in the states yet. So, after the shopping trip (that was the fun part) we decided to do a little sight seeing and photo taking. We eventually ended up on what we call "Signal hill jr." It's a hill that has a bunch of radio antennas and such on the top. We drove up there because it overlooks the city of Baghdad and we wanted the pictures. We got to the top and were shooting pics and taking some video. After a few minutes, "Hee-Haw" mentioned that we probably shouldnt' spend too much time up there because if we can see into the city, they can see us also. I agreed, but wanted to get just a bit more video. Sure enough, almost right away we hear the shot, and decide it's probably time to go (that was the excitement part). I've linked the video to my blog through You Tube. Follow the link if your interested. You can pretty clearly hear the shot, then me deciding it's time to go. Ah, life in combat.

Things are going pretty well besides that. Hope everyone at home is doing well. Kelly Belly, I am very proud of you and you will be in my prayers while your gone. You'll do great! Cindy, glad you got the chance to see Dylan. Thanks for the pictures. You look great. I love you and miss you tons. Melissa, good luck in school! You don't have many fun classes this semester, but you'll do fine.
