Army Days in the Heat and Dust

So as most of you know we are finally here. A lot of you have heard Justin's analogy of how to experience and average day of heat out here. Just for fun I am going to reitterate it. First get a hairdryer out and put on full blast on the highest heat setting, then to make it really realistic go and get a coarse beach sand and throw it up into your face and especially the eyes then you know how our average windy day is here.

There is simply just us and then the main desert. If you have ever seen movies where you see a wall of sand headed towards you like in the Mummy or Hildago that is pretty acurate.

You know how Florida has huricane season we have a season call Shamal season which we are in right now. Search google under shamal and see some pictures

Other than that we get to stay together which at first did not seem like a reality but now it is and we could not get any better.

I have a group of pictures attached to let you get a look at where we live in detail I thought it could get some laughs.

I will update you further on what we are up to and try to load some video. Here is the outside of our trailer and us.

Inside Our trailer

Not too shabby just a bit small

Our Bed we took two twins and made it one; this gets interesting if you forget and slip through the crack in the bed, usually it is poor Justin going through the two halves in the middle of the night.

A little computer time. No internet yet but we are working on it.

Note the fashion accessory the safety belt can't go anywhere without it. Wow does he look good or what

Look we even have a fridge and microwave and it works really well this is also great so we can have popcorn.

Gearing up to make it through the sand storm.

Who could it be now (ok you guessed its me)

Noni for Cody and Jake (thanks Cody for spoiling us)

We ran into a friend whose Wife used to work at TNI in the middle of the desert!!!!!

Of course the bathroom doll! Save the best for last we recently improved this and will post our pictures of our renovation. Who would have thought we would have a flushing toilet and a shower in the privacy of our own room this time WOW. Last time it was port o Johns shared with 500 men who wern't the best at aiming (if you know what I mean) and hand constructed showers???? I feel like I am living in "luxury".

This is our good friend who took all our pictures and made this BLOG possible thank you so much we owe you one.
