Back on US Soil!

Bill called this morning from Atlanta! They finally made it back to the USA after some frustration leaving Afghanistan. They had flown them to Qatar because they couldn't seem to get a flight out of Kuwait. Well that wasn't working so they had to fly them to Dubai in UAE. Finally they were able to get to Atlanta from there and are awaiting a flight back to Special K this morning. Thank you to all of you who prayed for safe traveling mercies!

The boys and I anxiously await hugs and kisses from Bill when he gets home today!

Wishing and Hoping, but Mostly Praying

I got an email last night from Bill. He said that they had been successful in completing their work, but that they were having a hard time finding a way out of there. Typical of a war zone, I suppose. Anyway, he knew they would be delayed in getting out of there and I am just praying that he and his 3 traveling companions can find a safe way to return home very soon.

Please pray for safe traveling mercies for Bill and the others. Thanks.

Hey Honey, Look Who It Is! Your Butt is Calling!

Seriously, these phones are terrible about doing this. My husband has one. My husband is traveling to Afghanistan. The phone rings this morning at 10am. It's his cell phone number. My heart stops! I wasn't expecting a call today. Guess what? It's a butt call! Yup! Bill's butt called from Kuwait. Ian is confused because I am yelling in the phone hoping that he'll hear me. I am not sure why I thought I would be able to be heard from a cell phone in a pocket over the din of an airport and obviously, No dice! And at $2.49 cents per minute in Kuwait and $3.99 per minute in Afghanistan, I think I'll be investing in that Blackberry Flip phone.

I did call him back. He didn't answer, but he called a few minutes later. He had no idea that his butt had called. He didn't know the rates and at the time I hadn't looked them up, but he has been warned to stop "butt dialing." Butt dialing is not to be confused with "booty call!" Totally different! But he's not allowed to do that either!
