New unit takes over officially today! Gosh just about another week or less and they will be headed out of country and getting a flight back to the states. Really great to be able to type that. Everybody here is getting so excited we can hardly contain ourselves. I washed and packed some clean clothes to take to Michelle, she said she didn't want to bring any of the clothes she has had on this tour of duty home with her, they have seen there better days. We are busy making arrangements as to hotel stays and when we are leaving for sure, seems to be sometime early next week, it is a 14 hour drive for us to the unit where they are landing and being debriefed at, so we will definitely take more than 1 day to get there. I will try to keep you all posted as the days are being counted down.

I can't wait until we can all say that our soldiers are headed home for good. I know alot of the people who have visited my site are counting the days, I am so glad for them and their families, believe me I know how they are feeling right now and what they will be feeling as the days go by. Sometimes the days seem to drag but then all the sudden the day is here and wow, you thought you had more time. Glad they seem to mostly go fast. I will post more later.

Have a good and safe day!!!!!!!!
