5 Things I Didn't Know About Afghanistan

Okay, so I failed again at writing at a consistent pace. About 2 weeks ago we had a huge ice storm and lost power from Sunday night through Thursday. It was horrid to say the least, I had to find somewhere to take a shower every night, I still flipped light switches on and off as I walked in and out of the rooms. All I have to say is Thank God for Generators; they kept me sane. I bought a new computer with mine and Cody's tax return. It is a Macbook Pro and I am really happy with it, I originally bought a Macbook Air then when I got home realized it did not have a disk drive. Really? Why on earth you wouldn't put one on a computer still blows my mind. Anyways onto my topic of the day

5 Things I Didn't Know About Afghanistan Before The Deployment:

1. When you get a phone call it is only six digits. Ex: 801-436
2. It is actually cold there, people think it's a desert and it is always hot but Cody has called me shivering because of how cold it is
3. The Arabs try to buy African American Marines as slaves
4. They don't have daylight savings. I was awfully confused when Cody called and the difference in time was different than before. (9 1/2 hour difference after fall back; 8 1/2 after spring forward)
5. Camp Leatherneck does not have a Microwave. They have T.V., Computers, Xbox, PS3, and whatever else you can think of and no microwave. I don't know it's weird to me.

I just thought I would share some things that are a little crazy to me, if I think of any more I will be sure to add them. I just talked to Cody about a half an hour ago and it was so lovely to hear his voice and made me so happy until I had to get off the phone with him then it kind of made me depressed that I won't be able to talk to him for the next 2 months or so. On the bright side when he gets back from this mission he will be getting ready to pack up and come home. Yay! I'm so excited words can not describe. I can't wait to start my life with him, it seems like I've been waiting for it forever and now it is just months away. 13 weeks to be exactish :)
Ohh... Today I got a tattoo let me know what you think ;)  It's by my hip bone, sorry my phone sucks at taking pictures.
