Well, I want to take a moment here to say that this last R&R was simply awesome. It really allowed us the ability to spend a lot of quality family time together. I was able to spend the mornings with my wife, sipping coffee, flirting, talking, cooking in the kitchen and wait for the kids to get up. The hotel room had a full kitchen, by the way and we had the fortune of taking a trip to Hawaii.
My wife and I reconnected, even after we got back from our trip. We spent lots of time talking, even going to IHOP until the wee hours of the morning. It was like falling in love again. I was able to play games and and fun with the kids too. They were all over me and watching them each day was something I will never tire of. I was only apart from the kids late at night after they went to sleep. My wife and I took in a few movies once we knew they were asleep. It all worked out perfectly.
They have grown so much since I've been gone, but it won't be too much longer that I will be in Iraq. I love and miss my family like you wouldn't believe. I am a lucky....scratch that,...I am a blessed man.
