Birthday party 2005, at least it didn't scare him off when only my guy friends showed up.
I'm actually a pretty good shot...who would have thought?
Buying scarves in Florence...Living in the Middle East we were not prepared for the Italian winter
New Year's Eve in Florence
Newly engaged
Being a proper Pakistani woman
Being a proper Kurdish woman (and yes, I am wearing a entire outfit of gold sequins, no, it will not happen ever again)
Rock back and forth, back and forth, holding hands, even Brody could master this dance
The entire DAI crowd in Erbil (before Brody arrived) in their finest
This is as far as Sadaam got in his campaign against the Kurds
No, Mom, its not poisonous.
That's my guy!
Last day in Iraq
How romantic, celebrating our anniversary on a rooftop surrounded by razor wire
Tough guys
Practicing our rock climbing skills while lost in the desert
Still lost in the desert...(okay not really lost, we knew where we were, we just had to hike a really, really long ways, without water in the middle of July, back to where we had camped).
Rescued!
Trying desperately not to fall off the camel as it sits down
