We have contact!

I got a text from Nath yesterday saying I needed to check my email :)
I'll just go ahead and copy his email here... it's sweet and it's easier than trying to explain where he's been all this time!

"baby i have not slept more than 20-30 minutes at a time in the last THREE days!! OR SHOWERED!!!! baby i have been in THREE countries in TWO days!! AND WE ARE STILL NOT WHERE WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE!! we have been bumped from 1 flight after another and have been in lock down at the terminals and pulling bags from pallet to pallet to plane to terminal to pallet to terminal ETC. we haven't been allowed barracks in each country because of our flight times and then we would get bumped and wait then bumped then finally get on a plane. 2 different types of planes also. i have some good pictures though. we are in Qatar (i think that is how you spell it) right now and will be here for 2 nights it looks like so FINALLY, A BED AND SHOWER!!! i came to jump on a computer to email you real quick while i had a chance. i was going to call from a DSN phone but in know it is around the time you take L to school and i didn't want to waste any of the 15 minutes so i am going to email you right now because i am dIeing to keep you updated. i miss you soooooo much Amberlee. i mean SOOO MUCH!!!! Amber i love you more than anything and i am dieing to hear your voice!! i am going to get all my gear put up and linens on my bed and give you time to get home and i will go find some wireless and skype you!! and if that doesn't work i will call you from a DSN line. i hope ya'll have been having good days. you know what i just realized it is the weekend, and sunday. well baby i will give you time to get home. i love you so much and i can't wait to talk to you!! i am sorry, i am so confused on time and days right now. and dead on my feet. just know you have COVERED my thoughts!! you are my everything

your tired husband"

He text me again while I was reading it and asked me to email him back and let him know when we would be home so we could Skype. After he got his stuff set up in his bunk, he called... it took a little moving around on his part to find a good internet connection, but then we had a GREAT call (and the best connection we've EVER had on my end! It was awesome! We talked for 24 minutes before his battery died, we were so excited! He was tired and unshaven, but it sounds like he is really enjoying this little adventure. He says he has some great pictures to share.

Another day and he should finish the last leg of his trip to get to Dubai. I'll let you know!
