Well I'm not sure how many people actually follow this blog, but I felt just in case I should keep updating.
For those of you who don't know, we are on the downhill slide of this deployment! I see the light at the end of the tunnel and it is BEAUTIFUL! Our Advon (Advance Party: the guys who come home early to get ready for the Main Body) are home and hard at work. We don't have dates yet for many reasons: one being the uppers honestly don't know when they might be getting home, flights are not easy to secure in advance, and because of OPSEC. We want our guys to make it home safely so if I don't know until the day before he gets home, that's fine with me. I just want him home safe.
All I know is that he should be home sometime in November! Once he is home I am sure he will make some calls to family and friends. And over the Christmas holidays we are hoping to see everyone. Of course it will all depend on how much leave time we get, and we won't know that until we know when he is going to be home. :)
