First Contact

At 4:30 this morning...STEVE CALLED ME!    (yawwwwnnnn!)

I must say that, for me, being awakened that early, it could only have been my honey on the phone.

He is in Kuwait and will be for at least another two weeks.   So for now, he is 7 hours ahead of me (EST).  Once he gets to where he's suppose to be in Iraq, it should be 8 hours ahead.   Doesn't seem like it by looking at the map; but what do I know?!  

We couldn't talk very long, so I don't have much info to share with everyone.

As usual, the 16 + hour flight was rough on everyone's bodies; a lot of fluid retention, making for puffy and stiff extremities.

He said that he was going to go get a bite of lunch and then go and work out.   He needed to work on getting acclimated and get "the puffy" out.

That's about it.   Like I said, he didn't have long to talk.

I'll post again when he calls.

Until then...don't forget to pray!

Sleepy-Eyed Love,
Patti
