Afghanistan....

Sorry I haven't posted in along time.  I have been either busy or no where near a computer or when i was on a computer it was not up to date and I couldn't get on this website, anyways I have finally made it to my final destination in the Argandab River Valley.  This place is beautiful.  I will definitely be posting pics once i get the wifi they offer out here.  I arrived by helicopter last night which was freaking awesome! I have a bucket list of things i really wanted to do in the army and fly in a helicopter was number one.  I arrived late at night and charlie was right there at the LZ to meet me so that was nice.  He showed me my room and I got to work setting it up.  I went to bed at around 0100.  I woke up at 6 and walked around the COP.  It was the first time i really got to see Afghanistan because at KAF it looked just like NTC.  But i saw the horizon and it was beautiful.  There are pomegranate orchards right next to the cop and they are so green! Im surrounded by hills that look like my parents back yard in PHX.  My breath was taken way by how beautiful this country was.  On the COP there is a war torn building that use to be a school and it is really cool to walk through the ruins.  I really cant wait to post the pics of this place its really cool.  after my walk around the cop i meet up with charlie for breakfast and after that we went straight to work.  We stayed at work till about 2200 and then hit the gym to get our swole on=) Charlie broke me off.  Rose your hubby is going to be so ripped when he gets home!!! After that I got to call Rose and talk to her which was amazing.  Other than that nothing much happened.  I got my address today so if you want it email me at danieleverhard@gmail.com and ill send it to you.
