This is Heather (and Mark!) writing to you from the couch. No better place to be. Mark got back safetly Tuesday evening...it's so nice to have him back, if even only for a couple of days. We are doing nothing but relaxing and he is "catching up on the interwebs," as he says. (They didn't have much internet down in Indiana- and if you know him, his computer is his child.)
We have nothing planned for these couple of days except laying around, enjoying our family's company and eating out everywhere Mark wants to go before he can't eat "good" food for a year. It's hard to be able to see everyone during these couple of days, and Mark has said most of his "good-byes" before training, so we are just getting our family time in.
He got to go "home" yesterday (where you can find the Pound parentals) to see his gutted house (they are remodeling the whole upstairs pretty much). He is excited to see what it looks like when it's finished. For now, we are staying at my "home" (with the Trefethren Mama), which she loves. She likes our company! He also got to play in a Covenant softball game yesterday, which was fun- they won both games and did good! (well, from what we could see standing under a covering- it rained good a couple of times.)
Mark wants to thank everyone for your support and prayers, it means a lot to him that he has people rooting him on for a safe return, and a sucessful deployment.
The next time you hear from me, he will be at Camp Leatherneck in Afghanistan. Pray for safe travels for him, it takes quite a while to get there!
