I want to thank everyone for their support about my blog. I'm having a lot of fun with it, and like my friend Sonya said, it's very therapeutic. It's crazy how much time you can spend on perfecting your blog. I will allot myself an hour to work on it, and by the time I notice the clock three hours have passed. At least it's keeping me busy :)
Steve is doing pretty good. Week one is behind him. He is in Baghdad, Iraq at the Victory Base. It's supposedly one of the biggest military bases over there. So, according to him, "It ain't that bad".
We're very lucky to get the chance to talk to each other every night. He typically calls between five and six o'clock. It's the high light of my day. :)
He's been working long hours, seven days a week. He pretty much works, sleeps, eats and works out. It's a little bit like Ground Hog day over there for him. Somewhere in between all that he has had the chance to read. Right now he is reading the book, A Course Called Ireland by Tom Coyne. The book is based on a true story about the author's journey to the Republic and Northern Ireland to play golf. However, he did it the old fashion way without the use of any transportation. His experience led him to 36 courses, 648 holes, and over 2,000,000 yards. I only hope Steve doesn't get any great ideas ;)
The weather has been in the 80's during the day, and 50's at night. It's pretty sunny, except from the occasional dust storm.
He's been lucky to have a room to himself. I've asked Steve to take some pictures of his room and other interesting things that could give us a sense of what it's like to be over there. Hopefully I will have those up soon!
That's about all for now. I will keep you updated on any more news.
I do have his address, but do not want to post it on here. If you would like to have it, just let me know!
Love to all,
Alison
