Happy Places


I totally rock the short hair cut! :) CANT WAIT FOR IT TO GROW BACK THOUGH!

While I'm here, I think I'm going to buy some hair growth products.... :) Make it grow faster. I just really dont wait the product to make all body hair grow faster... I hate having to shave my legs out here, just annoying.

We are leaving Kuwait sometime.... and I"m so excited. We will have our mission, jobs, our own space and not living out of duffel bags anymore. Some routine would be nice about now too, I really need to get on a schedule with the gym!

I will post my final address for everyone soon. Hope everyone is doing well!










At night I've been dreaming of wonderful places I've visited. Except the nasty Humidity, Savannah was one of them. Tiff posted new pictures for me on facebook so I saved them.

Kuwait

I havent taken any pictures here yet... not much to see, and I'm not entirely sure I want to have memory of this place. Its not really bad but we arent going to stay here and living out of a tent isnt exactly fun to show. The sand storms are the worst of it... walking against the wind with your face completely covered. I'm really glad I got my lasar surgery but at the same time my eyes are really dry all the time...
The food is good and the chow hall is amazing. You wouldnt guess you were in Kuwait when you walk in. There is a 9 foot water fountain in the middle of it (why we dont have flushable toilets, I will never understand).
There is training away from Camp the next couple days or so... so no blogs till I get back. Hopefully by then I have fun pictures of my crew to show you. They guys dont really enjoy thier pictures being taken.
I miss everyone and hope things are well back home!
Sorry if I havent responded to emails yet... the internet is slow and gmail requires wierd java scripts (since im not using my own personal computer). But I will try when I get back... :)

Kuwait

So I'm finally out of the country! I cant wait to get back! :) Things are good here in Kuwait and I'll only be here for about 2 weeks. There is a sand storm about to hit... the same storm shut down Bagdad for 9 days! :) Fun times.

The heat here is crazy, 120 degrees or so. My nose keeps bleeding... I just have to adjust. I have a little jet lag but nothing too severe. I'm just glad to be out of Georgia!

I'm pretty sure that I will never be leaving the beauty of the Pacific Northwest EVER again!

Remember that I wont have an address for my station in Iraq for awhile... but here: nichole.m.jackson@gmail.com is where I'll be checking the most.

Have a great day! Thanks for all the prayers and thoughts! Home is in my heart and thoughts every day.

Savanna!

Alysssa and I went to Savanna for an evening and it was beautiful. We are going to be staying at a very nice resort for the fourth and wanted to scope out River Street before hand. I'm so excited to be spending time with my good friend Tiffany and having time to relax away from Army life. Feel normal for a couple days :)
