So call me crazy, but it is 115 degrees outside (quite cool for what it has been lately), and I have on jeans, a cute pink shirt that Malzey sent me and my hair is down and curly! We FINALLY get to wear civilian clothes. It is so liberating. I have never loved a white t-shirt so much. I don't have many clothes here, so I don't have much to choose from. Starting tomorrow for a week, I get to go on like a "tour" of Kuwait. It has to do with fuel and stuff. I am kind of excited about it. I'll try to get some good photos. It goes Mon.-Fri. The other day (friday), it was so hot. I am talking the hottest day of the year thus far. Austin, Mandy, and I were outside trying to back up 3 trailers with a 5 ton. It was so comical. Here we were, sweating to death in the hot blasted sun, cursing everything that moved because we were so frustrated, and laughing our butts off because we knew that anyone watching us had to be dying from watching 3 stupid girls back up trailers. It concept is easy to grasp, but the act of actually backing it up is rather difficult. I wish I would have gotten a picture of what mine finally looked like next to the rest of the trailers that were already there. OMG! Funny stuff. It was nice to get to talk to Mom and Dad the other day for like an hour. I hope those clothes get sent out soon. I'll talk to you all soon.
