The are just hopping ready to get there.

My friends don't think it's a very hard sport. They think it's just hopping around in front of a crowd of people, but they're wrong. It's very hard to do.

We use to discuss decisions. While he was over there I tried to keep him from worrying about what was going on here so he could concentrate on getting home safe.

Whenever Dan had leave time there was always the knowledge in the back of your head that he was going back over there in a few days. Now, maybe we can get back to a normal life.

I use to worry all the time about being ultra organized. I had to figure out where I was going to get the energy to do everything so things are a little different than when he left. After being in Iraq, I don't think he is going to worry about it if there is a stack of papers sitting here.

Bean has been talking with Dan at night; they have been keeping in touch.
