The Iceman Cometh...And Goeth

First of all, communication has been sparse at best. With his schedule, he's not on his MySpace account as much as we wish, and when he is, we get short updates, which is the real reason we haven't been updating this much this month. But we have news today.

Blake will be taking a 15 day leave starting November 28th. We don't know if that's when he will be back in country or when he will leave where he is now. I said communication has been sparse. He plans on spending some time in Houston with his friends, some time in Dallas with his brother, and spending a little time at home with us.

This completely caught all of us by surprise. No one expected him to be coming back before March or April, which would be about half-way through his deployment. For him to be able to come home now is a shocker, but we'll take it.

One thing Blake has said about how it's going for him there is that he's fallen into a routine. He sleeps most of the morning and is still working from 5 p.m. till 1 a.m. Then he does his MySpace stuff or watches a movie until he gets up the next afternoon and starts it all over again. He said he was really upset because he missed seeing Chuck, "the Iceman", Liddell there. I had to google the name, but this was a big name in the UFC world.

Well, as soon as we learn more about the upcoming leave and his schedule while he's here, I'll post it. Till then, take care.
