Wordless Wednesday

[ 18 ] April 22, 2009 | Amanda

I may have posted this picture before, but it still amazes me. This picture was taken of my husband 4 years ago almost to the day when he was in Iraq. There was this huge sandstorm called a haboob coming in and there he is on the roof getting his picture taken. The best way I can describe a haboob is to compare it to The Mummy movies where the sand just comes up and creates a huge wall and overtakes everything. Here’s the link to the You Tube video of this same storm that’s behind my husband. It’s wild and worth the watch (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0QEiHdct0A).

    We’re a bit scared just looking at this picture. Is your husband oblivious? Or just fearless in the face of danger?
