Finally Here

So after 16 hours of grueling airtime we finally landed in Kuwait. It is weird thinking that I am finally here and that there is really no turning back now. It was night time when we finally arrived and we were greeted by the most gorgeous moon that I have ever seen in my life. One of our liasons told us that tonight is said to be the closest that the moon will be to the Earth all year. It is indescribable...the light reflects off of it and makes all of the clouds throughout the entire sky appear to be black. I will post pictures later. It was kinda weird today when after a full week of being with the same 250 people day in and day out we all finally started to go our seperate ways. I am actually starting to feel a little bit scared for all of the soldiers who I have had the chance to befriend... I don't know when the next year has in store for them... all that I can do is pray that they would find strength, refuge and safety in the Lord. I hope to one day run into some of them. You never know. The military family is quite small.

I started to think about actually flying to my duty station later this week. I got a weird feeling in the pit of my stomach when I started to think about doing this all on my own. I have been blessed over the last week having my sister to lean on emotionally. Once we leave it will actually begin. Here in Kuwait there isn't lack of entertainment. In the short time that I have been here... a few hours to be exact I have seen guys playing basketball, playing guitar hero, watching movies in plush reliners, using the internet, playing pool, shopping, sitting in silent prayer in the chapel, eating McDonald's, hanging out at the dfac, talking to loved ones on the phone, and just walking around base socializing. I can't wait to see where I end up being stationed and what kind of facilities and what kind of people they have there.

Tonight I stay in a tent... that is rumored to have mice ha ha... should be an interesting night. :)
