Guess who he's talking to?? Oh, and thinking back to all those phone conversations where you heard yourself talk and had delay time before you could hear the other person. Oh, goodness...sometimes we "clashed" and started talking at the same time. It was so annoying to hear myself laugh after I laughed...crazy. Probably something one just as to experience to appreciate instant communication. :)
From most of the pictures, Afghanistan is not a pretty place. I thought this picture of the mountains we're beautiful, though. :)
Random little girl on the street...she's pretty too!
My husband and his "bodyguard", Arianna. Justin told me that little kids would come up to you (Americans) and offer to watch your vehicle and stuff. Then they expected to be paid for the job. :) There she is holding some treasures he bought from the bizarre in downtown Kabul. We still have those coasters. :)
So which one's Justin? Wow...I'm glad the 80's are past!
And even lovelier...he doesn't disguise very well. :)
Ah...that's more like him...
These made me smile...things that I sent him...
Justin and some of "the boys"--the local's that worked for him every day. Justin told them that he was going to marry me when he got home. Before he left, they all gave him wedding gifts. My favorite gift was a black scarf...that is adorning my kitchen table right now. I appreciated there hearts...there gifts were very thoughtful. They even gave Justin traditional Afghani wedding outfits...he breaks them out every now and then. :)
Seriously, I didn't know Justin had a flat top....he said he doesn't remember having one either...ha!
I'm sure Justin will be happy to see that he "made the blog"--as he calls it.
I'm also reminded to pray for Afghanistan, as it's a barren land, both physically and spiritually...they need the light of the Gospel!"> ~Best 11 minutes you'll spend today: Eric Ludy on The Gospel

Awww, cute pictures! Lots of memories for sure- from me too! I remember all the emails and phone calls :) You were in his thoughts and prayers a lot, hehe!

That first picture of your husband talking to you on the phone is so cute...what sweet memories! :)
Is he in the Army still?
What a sweet post. I love the things he had on his bulletin board!
How sweet of you to post about your husband. The pictures were very nice. How long was he over there? I don't think I knew that he had spent time there. I know you are glad he is home with you permanently now!
