WooHoo, Internet Finally!

I am so happy know. I finally have an internet connection for my computer rather then try to keep up to date with everything using my phone. That's just a pain. Having internet again also means I am being pressured by certain people(we won't mention any names) to get some posts up again. So here we go.

Many of you know that over the Easter weekend I was able to go with my friend Wilson to visit his Dad and Step-Mom who live in New Mexico. It was about a 5 1/2 hour drive from Colorado Springs to their house in Aztec, NM which is only about 20 minutes into New Mexico. The ride was awesome because we were in the mountains almost the whole way. The best part was when we actually had to drive over a mountain pass that was a 4 lane road twisting through the up and over the mountain. It was scary at some points because you would go around a bend and be almost looking over a cliff with no guard rail there to save you. I took tons of pictures so over the next few days you will be seeing a lot of the trip.

Some of the sights we saw along the trip there. The fourth picture is a painted fire hydrant. And yes that is an elk crossing sign. We saw several of these but never did encounter an elk crossing the street. We did see this however . . .

Welcome to Colorado

CIMG1356 Well, I arrived safely in Colorado. My first flight out of G.R. was delayed an hour but I still made it here on time. I have a week in in-processing to do where I will be doing a lot of paperwork and then I get sent back to my unit.

I met Mackin here yesterday and he invited me to go see The Fast and Furious with him, his wife and another friend so we did that then went back to his house to hang out.

The picture above is of Cheyenne mountain. It is better known as the location of NORAD. I haven't been out sightseeing yet so this is the only picture I have.

I'm Back

Yes it has finally happened. I am back in the wonderful USA and enjoying it immensely. I didn't take any pictures at the airport so I stole some from my mom's blog to post here.

I don't have very many plans for the next few weeks. A few things to do here and there, but for the most part I am going to be relaxing and spending time with my family.

Repost

I noticed the video I posted of my year in Korea was not working for some reason, so I decided to repost it for any one who wasn't able to view it.

We've Come to the End

Here it is. The final post I will be doing while I am stationed here in South Korea. Everything is packed. All the paperwork is done. Now we just clean and clean some more, patiently waiting for March 15 to roll around. I wasn't very happy at first with being sent to Korea but looking back, I am glad I didn't go anywhere else. I guess know I look forward to bigger and better things in Colorado.

I decided to make one more video from all only about 5% of all the pictures and video I have. Here it is for your viewing pleasure.

Hope you all enjoyed it. As for me, I will see you all in a few days.
