Just wanted to let everyone know that Matt has made it from Kuwait to Iraq safely. He was quite tired from all the traveling and was heading to bed for some much needed rest.
Matt has arrived safely back to Kuwait after being home for mid-tour. We had a wonderful time together. Matt got to meet Lena for the first time and she has got him wrapped around her finger already. We spent most of the time just relaxing and doing whatever we felt like. We also spoiled ourselves some with a stay at a spa in Birmingham and some very nice dinners. This was a much needed break for both of us. So now we are past the halfway point of this deployment and are getting started on planning for Matt's return home!
Matt has been super busy this past week. He has had some 16hr work days, and has had several long flights. The weather there has been pretty nice. However, Matt said that sometime in April it will start heating up fast. Lucky for him he has AC this time. Despite the long days, Matt is doing well. But he is definately ready to come home.
