I had the pleasure of talking to Chris both last night and early this morning. He arrived in Baghdad this morning. His flight was uneventful as he rode in a military plane which had no windows. I imagine this was a bit difficult, but better than seeing everything. The airport is a civilian airport, but heavily monitored by military. He did say he was a bit nervous driving from the airport to the base, but said Baghdad is a nice city. His job has changed a bit and he will no longer be working with the Iraqi police. He didn't disclose the details of his new job, but I am sure I will learn a bit more as the time goes on. We are both thankful that he arrived safely and this next landmark has been reached.
So, we are still roughing it in our amazingly, wonderfully fabulous, new house. That means, air mattresses in our living room. Fun. The girls love it, Chris and I not so much ;) Anyway, the close proximity means Chris and I get to eavesdrop on some very tender moments. They seriously bring tears to my eyes. How did we get so lucky to have them as our children??? Here's one example. Claire--"Mya, can we snuggle?" Mya--"sure." Claire--"don't let go." Mya--"No, I'll just wait until you are sleeping." Claire--"No, you wait until the middle of the night." Mya--"Okay, I'll wait until the middle of the night." Then we hear lips smacking. So cute. I won't share the meltdown that occured moments before this sweetness ;) Life isn't always rosey, now is it? Ha! In other news..we get internet today and our furniture/things tomorrow! That means 1 more night of "roughing it!" Yippee!
