    Brian is marching home today!

    Christy called this morning to say Brian was on an airplane and on his way home. Wahoo! Finally!

    Here is an e-mail I just got from Christy:

    Hello everybody! How are you all doing? Here, we're doing better than we have been in a while! Just wanted to quickly email you all to let you know that I just got the call! Brian is now on his way back to the states!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am to be at the meeting gym at about 8 pm and they said the unit should arrive by around 8:30 pm! Tonight is the night we've been waiting almost a year for! I know they've got a little ceremony to wish them home before they are released, but we will hopefully be home by about 10 pm or so! Again, hope you all are doing well! Guess we'll be talking to you very soon!

    Love,
    Christy and Jasmine!

    Jasmine is ready to greet her daddy and welcome him home.


    I think the 3 doggies are going to be excited to see him too.



    The sad news is that Brian's brother Terry is now in Baghad having just gotten there last Sunday. Here he is saying goodbye to Jasmine.


    Unfortunately, Terry and his mother are not getting along (a very long story and it's mostly his mother's fault) so he calls Christy to let her know where he is and how he is doing.

    So we know need to pray for Terry's safe return (and let's not forget Andrew, Sourya's husband)!

    Oh this is such good news! And look at Jasmine, she is so adorable! I will be hoping and praying for a safe return for Terry, Andrew and the other men overseas.

    Thanks for the update 4DM.

    Thanks everybody! Yes, I'm getting very anxious for the last fews hours to pass by here. I just wanted to take a minute and update you all though on our news! I got word from Brian at 1:40 pm here. He called from Maine to let me know he's officially made it to American soil. He said that they were greated when they came off the plane by veterans wishing them well which really meant a lot to them. Then, they were given cell phone to share to make a short call home for free! Of course, that was his call to me! Right this minute, I believe he should be back in the air and finally on his way home to Jasmine and I!

    Well, I just wanted to update you all on that! I better go to continue to care to Jasmine and see what I can do about finishing up things here before we leave for the gym! I will do my best to post pics as soon as I get them of his return! Again, thanks for all of your support through this whole ordeal! It truly has meant a lot to us!

    That is so exciting!! I am so happy for you. I am sure, it must have been so hard being away from him for so long!! Gotta give you LOTS of credit, i don't think i would have been able to handle being away from my husband so long.

    So congrats....that is just wonderful news for you!!!
