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.
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".

Glad to see the pictures worked out for you! You are right, you have luxury in Kuwait. Baghdad bites.... I can live with the livign conditions here, but the working hours are just stupid and for no reason. Thanks for putting up the pictures... but really, the pictures of me in the bathroom, that has got to go! People will think I'm weird. Hasta, Wencke.
Awesome! Great to see some pictures and get a feel for your life there! WE love you guys, pray for you, and miss you!

YEAH!!!! We love the update. Thank you!! We love you. The kids are asking about you everyday.
I am so happy to see pictures of you guys. You're such good sports about all the sand and stuff. My Uncle used to tell Austin when he was being deployed to Kuwait or Afganistan that he hoped he got sand in his shorts just as a little joke, but it probably is very true... It sounds like you are doing good. Keep in touch and tell everyone Hi from the kids and me. We miss you guys be safe.
this is actually blake... wow, cool too see what is really going on with you guys! and about the crack in the bed... come on, justin isn't "falling" through it, if you know what I mean!!
miss you guys!
p.s. I saw a yamaha roadliner for sale on KSL today, and the sellers name was Justin, i got pretty worried there for a minute.
I love your blog and reading about your experience. I just want to thank you for what you are doing over there as I enjoy picnics with family this July 4th weekend, I think of you with deep admiration and appreciation. You are in my prayers - prayers of gratitude and for your protection and safety. Love you!
