I'm having a hard time thinking about anything but the activation of the 211th Engineer Company. They are leaving on Sunday for 45 days of training before spending a year in Afghanistan. Andy was a member of this Army National Guard unit until about 10 months ago. He really didn't want to get out of the guards when his time was up. I really pushed him to get out. I can admit that was by far the biggest disagreement we've ever had in our marriage.
This deployment has really brought back memories from more than 5 years ago when Andy was leaving for Iraq. It is hard thinking that these families are going through that again. I can't imagine what I would be feeling if Hallee had to go a whole year without her daddy. Thank you soldiers for doing what you do. Thank you God for letting Andy stay home this time around.

We'll all keep the soldiers in our thoughts and prayers, but I have to admit that I'm so happy that Andy is going to be here instead. I feel so bad for those others that are going to miss this time with their families. God bless them and keep them safe.
