These first few pictures are just some really big vehicles. He could tell you all about these "cool" machines. I on the other hand have no clue. (Obviously, Ted is the vehicle mastermind in this relationship!)Post some info if you know something about them! :)

Hello Everyone, Ted said I have permission to post some pictures and update everyone on how he is doing. He is doing well. The biggest prayers would obviously be for his safety and quick return home. The days for him are very monotonous. He will eat the same foods on the same days (ie. Sunday night is always steak and lobster night). Internet is up and down, mostly down. When it is up it is slow. He is stationed at Forward Operating Base Normandy near Balad (spelling?). If you would like a specific address, please just email me or post a message and I will give that to you. He loves to get mail. He enjoys the people he works with and has gotten to see interesting wildlife and really cool vehicles (see pictures above). We get to talk on the phone for about 15-20 minutes every night (well morning for him, see clocks on the right). I am very thankful to hear his voice almost daily. Thank you for your continued prayers and thoughts. I will try to post more on Ted and how he is doing.

Kate, thanks for the pictures. I hope you are doing as well as you sound. You and Ted are constantly in our thoughts and prayers. We are so proud of him. Seeing him in those pictures just makes me smile. I can almost hear his jovial voice coming right out of the photos. We pray for his expedient return and your patience in his absence. As a side note, hope all is going well with your principle studies. Sincerely, The Nash Family, Orange County CA.
Okay, I am about to show a bid of "nerd-dom"...but oh well.:)
The picture with Ted standing on top of a dark green vehicle with the neon green strap on his chest: That vehicle is an 8 wheel drive stryker armoured vehicle. The ones that Ted has assigned to his unit and that he is standing on are specially outfitted as ambulances and can get into and out of areas quickly to rescue soliders.
The big armoured vehicle at the top of the blog is the famous MRAP that is in all the news. Mine Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicle. I asked my wife if I could have one, but at 500,000 each it exceeded our christmas budget. Well, I'm sure that was far too much information but there you go. Happy Holidays.
