Jillian

What would I do without my wonderful wife?  She never ceases to surprise me with odds and ends in care packages!  Though it's not as much fun as a real deployment (since I can find everything I need here), she still likes to send random items along with the things I request.

This time she sent me a small Star Wars Lego set, which I assembled immediately of course! That was included with enough Angostura bitters to stock a bar for a year (there's a second bottle...), and other requested items that I need (such as a phone case I'd left at home).

Jillian also made the pages of Toyota Trails magazine! Our first (and only) trip to Moab together for CruiseMoab 2014 put us on Kane Creek Canyon trail our final day, along with a gentleman named Tim Kurnos, who lived in Aspen.  Since he was riding solo, and Jillian was taking photos, he asked if we could forward any pics of him and his FJ40.  Toyota Trails did an article on his adventures and how he ended up in Colorado.

Well, I dug through the pictures I had sent to him, and there it was! Jillian's photo right in the magazine!  And as proof, a second pic where you can see my then red Land Cruiser in the background .  Fortunately for Tim, she took many pictures of him, since she couldn't watch me do it (as APPARENTLY I was about to drive off a cliff).

Not a bad way to end a Monday! Hope your's goes as well as mine!
