It's been awhile...sorry guys!

Sorry that it's been a couple weeks since I've posted on here. Not much has been going on with Jeff lately. He has had a lot of time on his hands, which neither of us are complaining about! Last week he went out on patrol into the province...I will let him tell you guys all about that. But he did say that the kids really like the American Soldiers and come up to talk to them. Right now, Jeff is in Kandahar...he wrote me an email early Thursday morning (our time) that he would be there for a few days, didn't know exactly how long or when he would have a chance to call. He just didn't want me to worry about him! Such a thoughtful husband, even from a "zillion miles away" as he says! I did get a chance to talk to him on Wednesday and we also got to see each other on Web Cam...the contractors finally came and got the Internet set up in the rooms. The only downfall is that it's $100 a month per line. But as Jeff and I said, it's a small price to pay for some form of technology and chance to stay in touch with people. I thought I would post some pics that Jeff shared with me...if you are on Facebook, then you have already seen them. If not, here is a little slice of Afghanistan for you!


This is Jeff's room...he has two other roommates and as you can see, there is a loft already built in there from previous soldiers. They are able to store their gear up there so it helps with keeping the room in order. Jeff's bed is the one under the loft...with the Hooters calender hanging next to it!

This was one of the flights over to Afghanistan...looks like it was not that comfortable and probably was stinky!


This is the sunrise in Afghanistan...pretty beautiful if you ask me.


These are the mountains from where Jeff is...not sure which ones they are


This is Jeff and Suitt before they left...Jeff looks a little happy but I think it's because he is holding his gun!!!
Just wanted to share these with you guys. I know that Jeff would appreciate comments and messages from you guys on here. Now that he has better access to the internet, he will be able to post more often on here. I don't know when I will make another post. I am going to Michigan July 23rd to 26th, so maybe I will post some pics from my visit when I get back. So I will see some of you later this week...to those I won't, love you and miss you guys! Thanks for thinking of us and please SEND JEFF SOME MESSAGES!!!! It will help keep his spirits up!
