Today Nate found out that he is on the list to stay in Afghanistan until February of 2012. This sucks. I'm not sure what else to say about it. I am trying to be positive for him...if it's this hard for me, I can't imagine how hard it is for him. He does get to come back for a two week leave sometime during the year, so I guess we focus on that. He isn't sure when he will come back. We were trying to figure out when would be best...Christmas would be nice, but by then he will be home in a couple of months, summer time would be nice and would break it in half, but then if he waited until October he at least wouldn't miss Maverick's birthday. I guess he will have to discuss it with Mailie and then decide. Did I mention that this sucks?! I get that they are asking the people that are really good at what they do, so being asked is an honor, but...still. Did you ever want to just curl up in the fetal position and stay there for...oh, I don't know, like a year??
Please pray for all of our military and their families...and for strength for all of us.
