Needles

Wow, our soldier was in quite the good mood last night. Giggly and silly, the Jordan we all know and love...and constantly roll our eyes at. "I'm finally comfortable stabbing other people with needles, but I really hate it when its my turn to get stuck!" He's been doing a lot of medical training this week, starting out "stabbing" dummies, and then moved on to practice on his fellow soldiers. Not sure who he "stabbed" last night, but he was pretty excited about it. However, he is getting very frustrated with sand. It has been pretty windy in Texas this week, he said his gun has never touched the ground, but is completely filled with sand because of all the wind. I told him to get over it, these sandstorms are NOTHING compared to the ones he's gonna experience in Iraq. I included a picture with this post to show you guys the sandstorms in Iraq. One minute it will be bright and calm, and the next minute it will be dark as night.

Pretty powerful and impressive in my opinion, but I sure wouldn't want to get stuck in one. Something tells me we won't be going to the beach anytime soon after he gets back hehe. (Sorry, bad joke, but it is only 9:18 on a Saturday morning.)

Ok, that's all I have for you right now, have a great week, and keep sending our soldier letters! He loves them!
