Hello one and all. New posters and the Old regulars! I'm back... (for a while).
I've had quite the experience over the last four months. Trips to numerous minefields (I work in the SFOR Mine Cell); A few days in Dubrovnik (Very excellent); trips to historical Mostar, and Sarajevo; a few trips to Tuzla to visit our American counterparts; more time in Zagreb than I could shake a stick at; and a trip to Vienna, and another to Budapest. I've also seen some huge bugs, hot women, and two dead bodies (horrible traffic accidents  ).
But, now I'm home for a while, and glad to be here. I'm taking my fiance to Vegas tomorrow to get married, and then I'm coming back to relax for a few days. I head back to Bosnia too soon again, but I shall return in October for good. YAY! 
Anyhow, I just thought I'd check in and say hi!
Alexander

Oh, I almost forgot. I also got really sick with pneumonia, just three weeks ago. I ended up in the hospital, severely dehydrated with a very high fever, and near kidney shut-down when I was finally admitted.
But, I got better!

My girlfriend and I were just in Vegas a couple weeks ago for her friends wedding. Too hot down their. Stay indoors whenever possible. And remember, just because some LOOKS close, doesn't mean it is.
Where are you staying? We stayed at Treasure Island. Was actually a pretty good hotel. Next time we go down we want to stay at the Bellagio.

Yes, and as I found out, he gets mad when you don't tell him you're stopping by. 
Would've loved to seen him though. Always fun to meet a Mordelian in the flesh. Well, hopefully he'd have some clothes on, but you get the point.

Welcome back, Shawn ! Glad you are still alive!
Sorry to hear about your illness? How could you get a pneumony in spring? did you get drunk one night and fell into a pond? Glad you made it.
Congratulations on your wedding! What is her name?
Ah, one thing, you probably know this, but thank you for the work you all guys in SFOR do, if you weren't around, the people would start killing each other again.
I raise my glass (old rum) to your health and your wedding!

Me and Nancy thank you all for your well wishes.
We've been together for six years now, and she basically told me that it was time we got married. Who am I to argue? 
For those who know Vegas, we'll be staying at the El Cortez... I've never heard of it, but, Nancy's mom says that it's nice. Oh well.
Alexander
