We haven't forgotten about you!

We haven't been posting because there has been very little word form Nic. He did make it back. He called us all (me & Brad, Mom & Dad, Zac & Nikki) after breakfast the first morning he got there (2am). He said he had been awake for 3 days due to having a hard time catching a Blackhawk from Baghdad to Taji. He had to stay awake to make sure he heard his name when it was called because when it was he had to run out to get in line to get on the helicopter and he was always the last in line and was told "You'll have to catch the next one!" So finally after 3 days he made it back to Taji. He got some sleep, got up for breakfast and called us to tell us he was going out on a mission and would be gone for a long time.

He logged onto myspace, but none of us heard anything from him and he hasn't logged on since 4/14...so I'm thinking maybe he got online on base in Baghdad or something while they were out on their mission. Zac said that Nic said they were headed to Sadr City for a month. So that's all we know and we'll definitely post when we hear from him. Go ahead and keep sending your goodies. He'll be pleased when he gets back to be reminded how much we love him. He told me the trip back was the worst trip of his life because he knew what he was leaving and knew what he was going back to. So I'm sure he's going to need all the pick-me-ups he can get.
