Dear Friends,
So before I got to Afghanistan I asked myself if one could really even tell a difference between 110 and 105 degrees. Well, let me say with certainty that there is a difference between 110 and 103! That was the high today, the coldest it has been since I got here and boy, was it nice today. I didn’t even sweat waiting in line for dinner- that’s a big step up! It may have also had something to do with the sandstorm. The sun was half blocked as well. Either way, I don't really care. It was a nice day and it did a lot to raise morale! Hope all are well. Talk to you soon.
Love, Mark

On a warm night in June, at 1AM I dropped Mark off at Fort Lewis. That was our final good bye and though it was filled with tears and was very difficult, we made it. His deployment to Afghanistan will be about a year in length. On the blog, I'll post e-mail updates from him as I hear from him to keep everyone up to date on all the information I receive. Thank you for all of the love and support through this process. I am so grateful.

Well Mark hopefully this worked. I read your blog for the first time. I think I am responding but not sure. Vacation was for the most part OK but you know about the bad parts. I know we will never go on a vaction that I am not able to drive the car. That was the worst feeling of helplessness ever. I also know that their are many good people in the world. Angies friend Marianna and my wine tasting friend. All you have to do is cry over some wine and you instantly get friends. But now back to reality. Kelly today is having her wisdom teeth removed and then onto the next surgical body. Dan is scheduled for gallbladder removal Monday July 19th. Today is my first day back at work. It sounds like you are adjusting pretty well. Granny Moo Moo and the Knaapens are going on their Civil War vacation friday. I hope granny can stand the heat in Washington. She is kinda like you and does fair well in the heat. I will update you later. Well got to go. Keep safe.
Love Mary Beth
(Ps I am 100 percent sure my grammer is worse than yours. Oh well)
