Initial impressions of my new home. Looking back at this picture, it really doesn't look all that terrible. Either the picture didn't capture what I saw or I'm used to my vacation destination!
One of the many beautiful sunsets.
The contractors that built my deck! Behind them are the ugly cement T-walls that are everywhere on this camp.
Mine and my roommate's deck. The flowers are fake but don't they look nice! The planter on the little table holds my precious Marigolds which are slowly growing.
My home away from home on the end and to the right.
Girl Scout Cookies! Compliments of a troop from MN!
The day we got patched with our "Combat Patch"
The Stillwater 12k Sister Race. Coach and the MN Girls!
Memorial Day with the Commander and the Sergeant Major. When I initially looked at this picture, it almost appeared like it was snowing. No such luck...just a dirty lense. I just can't keep anything clean, here.
Celebrating Coach's surprise birthday party at Echoes Restaurant. He was a good sport wearing the sash around his head!
Command Sergeant Major (CSM) Pieters and me at his retirement party.
A MWR (Morale, Welfare and Recreation) event. Three comedians stopped at lovely COB Basrah to brighten our day.
Wearing my Army Combat Shirt (ACS). We are only allowed to wear this shirt if we're going outside the wire. I was suppose to fly to Kuwait yesterday to visit some of our troops. No such luck. After packing all my stuff (since I can never pack light), checking to make sure the flight was on, loading the truck, driving to the terminal, unloading my stuff, walking to the counter...the flight was canceled. I was so looking forward to getting out of this place and seeing something different. Some other day, I guess.
Terrific photos Kristen! Thanks for sharing a glimpse of your home away from home.
