I want to thank everyone who came out last week for my birthday/send-off party! I had a great time, and I’m so glad I got to see everyone before the deployment.

I’ll still be in the US until mid-May, so I’ll be around. But this was my final hurray in Lombard. Now to pack up my townhouse… Definitely NOT looking forward to that.
I will have a brief stint in Lombard next weekend for a friend’s wedding, but I don’t think I’ll have to much other time besides that.
