Just a quick note to let you know that we're on the ground in Dubai and out of Afghanistan.
 
A couple days ago our Afghan host was describing the uniqeness of Afghanistan and laughingly said, "When you land in India, your first smell is the spices in the air.  When you land in Kabul your first smell is diesel, smoke, dust, bumpy, and angry."
 
If you've been there, you'll understand completely.  We do.  And it makes us miss him and the country even more.
 
But our hearts are buoyed by the thought of seeing family and friends again very soon!  We loved our time in Afghanistan, but it will be really good to be home again.  This will certainly be a memorable Thanksgiving.
 
Thank you all for your continued prayers.  I will drop you a note when we're safely on the ground in Denver hopefully by this time tomorrow.
