Say a prayer for us...

We just got awesome news from Leevi that he might be home before Christmas! Since he left early on the Advanced party to Afghanistan his group will be the first to return (we knew that), but I guess they are pushing to get them home a month early and since it'll be so close to Christmas, they make even more of an effort! As of now, he's slated to leave by Dec. 15th. Obviously that is SO far away and obviously this is the military we are talking about, but keep that thought in your prayers for us. He is still planning on taking his R&R leave for Kailee's 1st birthday, so if we can just make it to September, December will be just around the corner! :)

Things are going pretty well for him in Afghanistan. He's been put in charge of training a National Guard Unit that arrived from Nebraska. He really liked it because he wasn't behind a desk doing power point slides and is doing "army things". Apparently the higher ups liked his performance and have asked him to go to a different post in Afgh. and do it again! He's staying really busy. I try to send him a picture everyday of the girls and we hear from him everyday by email and a couple times a week by phone. I'm just as busy with work and with the girls...time seems to be going by at a considerable pace!
