The Subway Special

Well we are rounding the corner on another week! I have been talking to Stephen about everyday, but usually it is in the middle of the night, like 10 o’clock, when I have already been asleep for at least an hour. No, really sometimes it is 12 or 1am when he calls. But when baby says sleep, I sleep! Poor Stephen probably has not been enjoying the conversation as much as he would if he were to be talking with someone that was more coherent. I swear he said the other night that he went to Subway with 2 guys from Romania and 1 from Kosovo. I mean, that sounds like one of those jokes… you walk into a bar and there are two Romanians and one Kosovonian (or Kosovoan?)... But it wasn’t, he really did… I can only imagine the stories he will have when he gets back. And do you think the menus at Subway in Iraq are similar to ours in the U.S.?

Well Stephen had a room of his own, until they had him switch rooms, again! Now he shares a room with another guy, but he said it is not too bad. He did have a broken bed when he got there, but they got it fixed so hopefully he will start to be able to settle in. I finally got his address, so the care packages will start soon. Stephen said that he did not want a lot of junk to have to deal with, but I think he knows better than that… honey- get ready for some serious junk! I figure it will just make him feel more at home.

Honey, keep up the hard work! I am so proud of you and love you so much!

Praise the Lord for roommates! Praise the Lord for my late night calls! And Praise the Lord for sleep!
