Newest note from Ev, and apparently he will be home a bit sooner than I thought...he leaves there in 7 days, so he'll be here in maybe 8 or so, depending on connecting flights, delays, etc.

"Hey mom, what's new-i'm getting pretty excited to get up & out of here. While us medics are all taking turns on leave, the two remaining guys (me & oody right now) have to work 12 on 12 off every day. Kinda sucks, but there's really no other way. So as you can imagine, i'm getting pretty sick of wearing this uniform every day.Today we went out & reconend a site to land a blackhawk. On saturday we're supposed to be doing an air mission drill complete with casualties & dustoff medevac. It'll prolly be fun, i've done it a couple of times before but never in the desert.. i can imagine it will get pretty sandy... It's getting warmer here but still not TOO hot. at the hottest it's hit 100 degrees in the sun, maybe the lower 90s in the shade. It still doesn't compare to the perpetual hell that is mississippi.I would go on longer about what's new, but of course, there really isn't anything.. so, so long, only 7 days left- see you soon- Evan"

Note to any Mississippians who are reading this: he does not have anything agianst your fair state, just the weather, in particular, the heat & humidity (& hurricane!) he endured there last fall.:)

Seven days instead of nine? WOOHOO!!!!! That's even better! I know you're not at all excited! Have you started cooking all his favorite foods yet? LOL!
