Day 304

"Sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same"

—The Fray

Day 303

"If you only get to go around one time
I'm gonna sit back and try to enjoy the ride
I could make a million or wind up broke
Free and easy down the road I go
Can't take it with you when you go so
Free and easy down the road I go
Someday I know it's gonna take me home so
Free and easy down the road I go"

—Dierks Bentley

Day 302

We finally figured out where we will be staying for our 2 1/2 months in Anchorage and the landlord sent over a bunch of photos including one of my new neighbor, Charlie.

Day 301

"Play on when you're losing the game
Play on 'cause you're gonna make mistakes
It's always worth the sacrifice
Even when you think you're wrong
So play on"

—Carrie Underwood

Day 300

We have finally made it to 300 Days!!!! On day 1, 300 seemed like a gigantic number, but now here we are. Only 65 Days left of this countdown, but much much less until the end of this deployment!

Day 299

After coming back from Jacksonville, we spent the whole evening watching the NCIS marathon. I had caught a few episodes before, but now I am completely addicted. New favorite show (except for maybe Grey's Anatomy, but that has been on hiatus for 8 weeks)

Day 298

I spent the first day of 2010 at the Gator Bowl in Jacksonville cheering on West Virginia, who unfortunately lost the game. It was still a lot of fun anyway!
