Down on the farm

My two year tour in Saudi Arabia is over. I am back on the farm in Southeast Minnesota and glad to be back. While there are many people I miss, I do not miss living outside the US.

I have been back since February 8th and it seems as if I have been going non stop since. Always something to do, always someone to see and always somewhere to go.

I love it.

It was the coldest and one of the snowiest winters ever... I don't care. It is what it is. I am  playing hockey with our Thursday group and loving it. They graciously took Les and  back after our 2 year absence and it was almost like we never left.

This morning, as I sit at our kitchen table looking out over the snow covered fields and enjoying the company of my wife and our now expectant daughter, I realize I did not over estimate how much I missed being home.
