SHARP DRESSED MAN

SO I HAVE ALWAYS WONDERED IF IT WAS TRUE WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT WOMEN LIKING A MAN IN A SUIT... SO?  DO THEY REALLY LIKE A GUY WHO IS DRESSED UP?  

ANYWAY, ONE OF THE THINGS I LIKE ABOUT THE MIDDLE EAST IS THE ABILITY TO FIND GREAT DEALS ON QUALITY TAILORED HANDMADE SUITS.  YEAH, MOM WILL PROBABLY FLIP THAT I GOT SOME "MORE" SUITS... BUT HEY, I WILL LOOK GOOD SITTING IN CHURCH.  HOPE YOU ARE SMILING MOM AND THAT YOU CAN APPRECIATE A WELL MADE SUIT LIKE I DO.  I AM LAUGHING AT MYSELF.  SOME OF THE GUYS TEASE ME AND SAY THAT THE SUIT WON'T FIX UGLY SO I AM STILL JUST WEARING A NICE SUIT.  I LAUGH SO I HOPE YOU CAN TOO.  ANYWAY, HERE ARE A COUPLE OF PICTURES OF THE SUITS.  ENJOY AND LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK.

LOVE YA ALL.

WELCOME TO IRAQ POPS!!!

so, the last time dad and i were in iraq, well that was in 2003.  now he has come to join me again here in this lovely dust bowl i currently call home.  he has come in and now its made me happy to see a familiar face... everyone keeps teasing me about how dad has to get me in line and whip me into shape.  its really funny cuz he just laughs.  he really does know me.  so now all you guys can rest easy and know i will take care of him.  we love you guys and i miss you.  can't wait till i get that time to come home and catch my breath.  

another day older...

so i am not feeling like i am really this old.  i should be like 25 i think.  i feel that young...  i had a very pleasing day today, even if i was alone in iraq with dust everywhere and no party to speak of... but the ones who love me knew exactly what to do and say.  i received a message in a bottle.  yeah, i thought it was really cool and it really really meant a lot to me.  there is a lot more to it than just the heart warming words, but the pic that goes with it is a dream i have on a regular basis.  my own little stretch of beach with a nice little grass hut on it.  my getaway.  a place i want to be where i will actually enjoy the sand for a change.  mom, you are the best.  you always know how to make me feel loved.  thank you for you thoughts and wishes.  they always mean the most to me.  i wish i had a family party to get to so, you guys celebrate for me.  its always the highlight of any birthday.  i feel so young and very fortunate.  love to you all. 

so needing a vacation...

i guess since its almost my birthday, i can make my birthday wish right...?  since this is my blog i get to share my wish with anyone reading.  mom that means you...  i wish i was done over here so i could get back to the ones i love and miss.  i think about that all day.  how great it would be to not have to be over here.  i wish i could just be at home.  i guess i have to look at the goals and meet my objectives so i can make that wish come true.  love you all and miss you tons...
