So after about 12 days of travel, I finally made it. The "funny" thing is that some people at my final destination beat me here by a week because they caught a quick turn around flight at Manas AB in Kyrgyzstan. I can't complain though b/c my "time" started on 2 Mar, rather than when I actually got in Afghanistan, so that's nice at least.
I have a great roommate, the bathroom is right down the hall, and we're in modified dorms per say. It's great not having to walk outside the bathroom like last time.
I found out what I'll be doing here, and it sounds pretty interesting. I'm working with many many different countries and their militaries, and I LOVE that! The cultures are so vast and it's been amazing to meet people from Slovenia-Britain already! They're all very nice (perhaps b/c I'm female - just joking:) and amazingly enough, they speak good English. I'm quite impressed by their efforts to learn new words that they don't know too. I think I'm going to start asking them how they say various things too... I love learning!
Well, off to another day at work, just wanted to let you all know that I'm here, and doing well. Thanks for your prayers and emails!
God is constantly challenging me to grow and stay out of my comfort zone. The latest challenge is getting pregnant! What an answer to prayer this has been! Plus Joe and I both started new jobs in July, and it's been run run ever since! Thank you God for all the blessings!

Yay! I'm glad you made it! And thanks for the contact information, even if it did come eight times... What amused me the most was that I read each e-mail, just in case there was something slightly different with one of them (a correction, of sorts). :-)
so glad you're there and back to feeling normal :)
