Slacker home for visit

That would be our daughter.
Mike, me, Alicia, hubby looks like an ole hippy. LOL
We had a wonderful time at the game.
Mike is home in NJ now and we will fly out there soon to help him pack up all his belongings and put them in storage. He will be in Afghanistan for a year come Dec. First he has to go to Fort Dix for a month to bond with the other young men and women who are being deployed. He will not be allowed to have a car or leave the base. I miss him already. I just can't seem to get enough hugs or spend enough time with him. If he lived close by I would see him several times a week.
It's hard... I still see him as that cute 5 year old who colored with his crayons and loved ice cream and oranges and baseball.
I want to thank you all for your kind thoughts and prayers, it helps truly.

Good Thoughts & Prayers are sent Mikes way. They just sent a group out of Iowa to Afghanistan. I pray everyone stays safe. That is a great picture of you & your family. I noticed that little hole in hubbys jeans, you gotta get the sewing machine out & patch that.

Just got a phone call from my Slacker, His orders have been.

Cancelled!!!! Oh my gosh my gosh my goshy gosh gosh.

Now that does not mean they won't call tomorrow or next week or the week or month after that, but for now even if it is just for a short time. We are so

EXCITED that his orders have been cancelled.
