So here I sit in Miami. It is my new home town for atleast the next four years or so. It has been a transition fraught with frustration and difficulties and yet so full of rewards. . . Traffic is crazy and tolls are rediculous. We arrived, nonetheless, my wonderful wife and I. I have begun college classes and I must admit it all feels a bit overwhelming. 5 classes and a total of 15 credit hours with 2 labs and no time to think...  

I am offically back from my 2nd and final (hopefully) tour in Iraq. I have been back for about 10 days now and I am so happy to be back. I hope that for those of you who still Xanga, this finds you well and in good health, and for those of you who never Xanga anymore please know that blessing is extended to you as well.
