THIS is the sucker I flew back and forth from Kuwait to Balad. It's called a C17. We entered and exited from the back of the plane and there are seats on the sides that face inward (not so good...almost got sick on the way there...) and seats facing forward! (super! just like a normal airplane, except more scrunched).

After a 5-day trip back to the states, I had my family from Omaha there to greet me! What a great banner they had made! Oh I love my fam


I went out with my friends...


Watched my kick-ask sissterrrr play some volleyball! Woot woot! I went purely for moral support and not because there was copious amounts of beer available:) hehe


Watched my beautiful cousin Olivia dance!!! I loved it!
...and I danced. Maaaaybe not the same TYPE of dance?? hehe :D











Played some softball--GO GRACE! woo!

Got to spend some awesome time with the family!


AND I got to go to Boston to visit my brutha, Aaron! That in itself is a WHOLE nother blog! We had such a great time!


All in all I'd say it was a pretty freakin awesome leave!
