Final Destination

Phil has finally made it to Afghanistan. I have not heard from him directly, but from two other wives whose husbands called. Rumor has it the guys are jet lagged and still grungy. It sounds like the accommodations aren't too good at this particular location either. Baby wipes and hand sanitizer will be in my first care package to Phil.

In the next few days the team will head out of the location they are at right now to their "final" destination.

I say "final" because it could all change in the next couple months as the Army does some restructuring.

I have attached a few pictures of the mountains in Kyrgyzstan that Phil sent me. Take a close look! He said they were beautiful.



And what's an email from Phil without something goofy? Here they are trying on some traditional dress at a shop on base in Kyrgyzstan.

  3. I am sure he bought the head gear. He used to prance around the house dreesed up like that when he was a teenager. Just another chance to relive his old memories!

    Praying for you both.
