Like sandstorms of the hourglass....

......Those were the days of my life!
Take a good look at the weather report on my sidebar for the weather in Najaf Iraq, cause I am taking it down in the next couple days!
And I am giving this weather link up to the other Minnesotans that are headed over.
Those were the best of times, and the worst of times, we laughed, we cryed.
It was a nice run, in the words of The Common Man from KFAN here in Minneapolis.

I start my new job tommorrow in St. Paul and I went over today to meet my new cowrkers, and they seem great and I am excited for the opportunity to work as a civilian in the MNARNG!
As I have said before this will be a change for us around here, being that my wife is ataying home and I am going to work, but I hope it will be a change for the good.

Not much new on the homefront, as we are busy toting the kids around after school to chior for Madison and church, and then both of them have basketball Mon thru Thurs. It is pretty fun and Madison won her basketball game tonight in the last minute 18-17 and she scored 4 points and played VERY well.

Friday night they are having a welcome home ball in Bloomington for all the "War Heroes", and I had to go out and get a tux shirt and bowtie to wear with my class A's for the event, it is a little loose, but I don't really have time for alterations!
Oh well, wish me luck back to the grind!
Later,
Erik
