Good Friends the World Over


The one thing about being in Baghdad is that you are surrounded by great people. While in DC training to head to Iraq I had the opportunity to make some good friends that I would be able to rely on when I arrived. Now that we are here I am experiencing that reliance and am so thankful for the people I have around me going through the same things that I am.

Iraq is no easy place to be but life is much easier with some folks that understand what you are dealing with and tend to support you.

All through my life I have been lucky enough to have great friends and Baghdad is no exception.

Hey, welcome to the Embassy! (I found you through Flickr.) I've been here since October... So what do you think of it all?

kj - thanks for the welcome. I am "enjoying" myself if that can happen! I am doing PA for the State Department so I am staying busy.
