Waiting!
I'm waiting for a plane to Baghdad, but they have been full the last couple days, and we will just wait for it! I want to thank all the people who have checked out the site, and I want everyone to know that if I don't reply to your email, I will try to address it in my posts.
I don't want you to stop emailing, I just don't have the online time to reply!
Also, please feel free to email my wife for support, @ Emholtan@aol.com, I know she'll love it!
I have my address for in Iraq!

Please sent what ever you think someone in Iraq would need, if you want!
And if I don't need it, I usually give it to someone who would!
I don't know when I will get my mail, because my mission will entail me traveling around
Iraq doing the PDHA's for all the different units close to leaving! I don't know how much I will be in one place and for how long!
I also realized that I have been pretty negative on some posts, but I like to get it off my chest right away, and not let it marinate! But, I also don't want to apoligise, because it is war, and I don't think I'll really be that giddy about things! Unless you count when Kendall is born, or when I'm watching King of Queens, the 1st, and 2nd season, which I can't wait til the 3rd season! I love that show!
I have been able to call my wife a couple times a day, but we are at opposite times in the world, but it usually works well!
Missy is currently on medical leave at work, and she will be home for 12 weeks to lessen the stress on her! Kendall has seemingly been stressed by my deployment, and my wife needs to take it easy to get the stress off herself to lessen the babies! Work seems to be a bigger stress than me being gone, so she needs to get that off her mind, because that isn't helping! She is in the process still of learning to deal with our childrens needs, and is doing a great job!
Anyways, thanks for all the emails, and posts, it keeps me very entertained!
Later,
Erik

Hey there, Venting is just something that we all do, it's not fun but you're right if you let it set it will FESTER. That's a funny word. Anyway, who said that this site was going to only be about the positives of your experiance? YOU ARE DEPLOYED! That's NOT vacation! Ahh well, this site was made so that you could voice your feelings and thoughts to the people that you love...to keep us up todate on what this experiance is like for you. And unfortunantly some of this hasn't been easy, yeah probably none of it but, people who you counted on let you and Mis down... That is initself highly frusterating! You and Miss and all the kids are loved so very much. I will keep thanking each of you for making this sacrifice, you are all supported by your families, and know that we will continue to do what we can to make the time go by with happy memories, tissues and hugs for the tough times and laughter for the rest of the time. With love Tei and Mark (aka Snow Mania Boy)
