Say Cheese!

Woo hoo! I have now seen my first picture of Justin since he's been gone. Sorry Jess to steal this picture from you -- I wouldn't have to if my husband would send me pictures! (Sorry Hon) In Justin's defense, the camera did get misplaced somewhere, somehow, as he was headed "in country." We are working on getting him a new one. In the meantime, enjoy this picture taken of Justin and Will (Jessica's husband, mentioned in the last blog post). It was taken before they were in Iraq, as Justin and Will are at different FOBs.

Justin seems to be doing pretty well. We got to talk for a few minutes last night. And yes, it was actually just a few minutes. When you don't get to talk every day, even the infrequent longer chats seem as if they're only a few minutes because you have so much to catch up on. Justin is actually living in his office, as it has a microwave and coffee pot. I can't imagine what his assigned quarters were like if a coffee pot and microwave have him living in his office! Sometimes the offices are larger than quarters, as is the case with Justin's assistant, SGT Ross. At least Justin is fortunate enough to have 4 walls and a roof, as opposed to a tent which would waver and fill with dust during the almost constant winds. I will post more pictures as I get them.
