Travel has begun.

Many of my friends have asked me the in past couple of days if I am excited for the trip. I am very excited but also calm. While making my girlfriend’s coffee at 3am the morning I realized one reason I am calm is because this is nothing like a deployment in the army. Yes there is risk in this trip but there is risk in everyday life. Friends here is too adventure!

Yes PDX carpet and PDX carpet socks, thanks Vandy.  

Here is too the unsung hero for this morning, Sara. She woke up with a smile and drove me to the airport. That smile is amazing.
