The Colonel arrived in Maza E-Shariff last Friday.
All is well.
He said Northern Afghanistan is beautiful.
Below is a picture of some of the mountains that he gets to see every day.
Really pretty, huh?
Here's a picture of him with a Danish soldier with the last name,
only spelled with a "K."
You have to enlarge the picture to see their names on their uniforms.
I'm really not too sure what he's doing now.
I do know he's a Deputy Commander of an RST unit.
And yes, he's explained it to me a few times,
but I never fully understand what he does.
Please don't tell him I said that.
The best news is he has his own living arrangements.
Well, he's still in a shipping container,
but it's split in half, divided by a solid wall.
He's happy, I'm happy.
He had sent me pictures of his other shipping container in Kabul.
This is his section of the container.
Not too bad.
He made the bottom "bunk" it into a little desk area for himself.
This is his roommate's side of the container.
You can see how narrow the container really is in this picture.
The bunk bed JUST fits.
But it's still better than living in a tent in the middle of Afghanistan.
I have to say the Colonel is much neater!
Back here at home we enjoyed a nice Easter weekend.
The kids arrived home from their Youth Convention LATE Friday night and then proceeded to sleep most of Saturday morning.
We went to church on Sunday and then to my sister's house.
I didn't take any pictures, sorry.
Just wasn't in the mood.
I hope you all enjoyed a beautiful Easter!
I haven't forgotten to tell you about my fall from the platform 2 weeks ago!
You'll just have to come back another day to hear that story!
Enjoy your day!

Praise God he is well. Please don't forget that his safety is in the prayers of a lot of people! I hope this year passes very quickly for you both!

Some how my Google Reader dropped you off. I love the pictures of the Colonel and I am sure you loved them even more.... I hope you had a happy Easter. I am off to read up about you for the last month.

I'm so glad you had a nice Easter! My brother-in-laws last name is Christensen and his grandfather was Danish and immigrated here. I guess Christensen is a very common Danish last name.

I am so glad to hear that hubby is doing well. Prayers to continue for his safe return.
Happy to hear that you had a nice Easter.

I have to agree the Colonel does look much neater! Reminds me of college...why did I always get the "less neater" roommates?? Glad he is happy...and you are happy!!
