Well, just got back from the airport. We dropped our good friend Julie off. It was really nice having her here. She spoiled the kids and helped keep me sane for the first rough week. This next month will truthfully be rough, but we have each other and we will get through.
Update on Brian. We got a call on the 25th (on the tape machine as we missed it) from him saying he was in Kuwait. Just now I got an email from him and he is already in Iraq. He said I should google a spider called a camel spider. If you didn't know, my husbands one "fear" is of spiders and he says this is one of the biggest he has ever seen. "They" briefed him on it and he saw a picture, but he hasn't actually seen a live one yet. If he does he told us he'd take a pic and send it. I googled it and above is what I got.
Well, I will add more to this blogger more often probably now. Like Paul Harvey says "Good day."

That's one HUGE spider. I hope he doesn't see one of those. Tell him we said "hi" and all of you are in our prayers!

Looks like those two spiders are bumping uglies! Glad Brian made it there safely.
I thought about it, and thought about it, and finally I figured out who "R" is... lol. So, how are you doing? About ready for it to be over? Good luck!
R,
I just went to snopes. I had not read any of the myths before, just saw the picture. None of the myths matter to Brian though... a spider a cm long could make him jump, let alone this sucker. I did just read that they are not technically spiders, but they look enough like one, that my husband plans to shoot any and all he sees...lol. Thanks again for the snopes web address. You mentioned it once a long time ago and I had since forgot about it.
Meghan,
Yes, I am with him on the spider thing...small, big, medium....doesn't matter. They all make me scream like a girl and run for my life. Hate em. That's why when I first saw those pics when the 272 deployed I had to research. Gross but interesting.
On another note...no baby yet.
I'm ready though.
R
