Blog Transition

I've been home for a few weeks now. Sorry to leave everyone teetering on the edge of their seats waiting for my next update.

Since I'm no longer in Africa, the question of the day is 'what to do with the blog?' Several people have told me they enjoy being able to see what I'm up to and I actually like writing out bits of my life for all you voyeurs to enjoy, so I suppose I should keep blogging. Let me forewarn everyone that it isn't going to have a lot of pictures from Africa. I suppose I could occasionally catch you up with the photos from Tanzania, but if I saw you this past week, you've probably seen the pics by now. Otherwise, future pictures will likely be of my growing family.

We're expecting our +1 on January 2. With any luck he will arrive before the end of the year. We're still working out a name for the boy, but Aiden isn't a very big help. He's going with "Clunker the Clown cause he's a clown." I honestly don't know where he gets these ideas, but it looks like the new guy is going to have quite the ornery big brother.

By the way, I've finished the book on the right ("Axis of Evil"). It took me forever to read. I wouldn't recommend it. I'll update with my current books when I have another minute.

Not getting rid of me that easily,

Marty

Heading Home

I'm currently sitting at the USO in Naples, Italy awaiting the continuation of my flight home. We checked in at the terminal at camp at 4 o'clock this morning and took off about 8:30. We stopped in Bahrain, Crete, currently Naples, and our next stop Shannon, Ireland. From there we'll fly across the pond and I'll catch my connecting flight to San Antonio. I should arrive in SA in about 25 1/2 hours.

I'm looking forward to my homecoming. And since my "trip" to Djibouti is coming to an end, so is this blog. But don't worry, I think I'm a little addicted to the blogging thing, so I'll just rename my blog and press on. Stick around.

NMP,

Marty
