Qatar

Tomorrow morning at 6 AM Brian flies out. He's going first to Virginia via a commercial flight and then I believe is taking a military flight on to Qatar. Nolan and I are so proud of him. He's been working on the house and packing and we're all enjoying the beauty of DENIAL! Ha ha! I think Cheyna is right when she told me the few days leading up to his departure are the worst. Once he's gone, I can begin the countdown to his return! I will post his address as soon as I find out his squadron name. And just in case any of you are wondering geographically where he'll be, here's a handy map. The base is called Al Udeid and is apparently the Ritz Carlton of desert bases. If Brian has access to the blog over there I am sure he'll be letting you know some fun details about the desert and his 13 an hour a day exec job. He will basically be an assistant to a military big wig and even though he'll be working his tail off, it's pretty cool he gets to do it, as I hear its good for their resume (I know that's not the technical military name for it, but resume is the only word I can think of right now). This map makes Qatar look pretty big, but if you look at the inset, you'll see it's size in comparison.
