Deployment Mustache

I have spoken and even seen Peter a couple of times now and it has been great. He is giving me the impression that he is adjusting well. He has had some requests that we are trying to fulfill. One thing happened though that I was a little confused about how I felt about it. Peter posted a picture of himself with some locals on facebook, I am normally the first to get to look at his pictures because I get a notification every time he moves near his facebook =)this time I was a few hours late too look at it, and when I first saw it I was surprised that I felt upset to see him with locals they didn't look harmful in anyway I still don't know why I reacted that way, and some of the comments on his page didn't help either because they were joking about Peter being related to those people, I am sure I am just hyper sensitive to the situation but I felt anger towards the comparison and ridicule to Peter's approach to what I assume is a comforting message, even though he would never admit to that. I just have a hard time seeing him mingling in the market in Afghanistan because I hate the unpredictability of the whole thing. I know i shouldn't expect him to spend a whole year and some month on the base alone I just like to pretend that he is not in the middle of everything. However, I will take whatever I can so keep those pictures coming Peter! On another note his deployment mustache is coming in...sort of. I am getting ready for Jacob's first birthday this Saturday and I would give anything to have Peter here, but I am so thankful for companies like Skype because this means that I get to see him on this big day and that he can watch Jacob grow. Peter has told me that he is officially supplying his guys with Krupps coffee which means that I need to find a way to supply the troops with coffee pods...Thanks Pete. He has asked us to send him a TV and a heater...he cracks me up sometimes, Mike says he is waiting for the day Peter is going to ask my mom to send him a sandwich lol. Of course I am more than happy to help supply the troops with whatever they need even if it is a luxury item, because honestly a cup coffee is the least they can ask for after giving up everything. There are some crazy mailing rules when sending to Afghanistan, they make sense but are pretty strict, for example no pork or pork related items, no racy pictures or magazines...what is racy to the Afghanistan standards? Anyhow I will comply and get those packages going. If you know of a way I can get some corporate support for the troops let me know...coffee aint cheep and their demands are FANCY ! in the mean time please continue to keep Peter and the troops in your prayers.
