Justin is...


OUT OF AFGHANISTAN!!!


I just got a phone call from him, and he's finally arrived in Kuwait! He'll do some processing there, and then we'll pick him up in Reno on the 22nd.

This all still seems like a dream. For so long, I couldn't believe he was actually in Afghanistan. Now, it's been long enough, that I can't believe he's coming home...for good! As you can imagine, we're ridiculously excited. The kids are just a huge ball of crazy energy...they don't know what to do with themselves. I've tried to put that energy to good use...cleaning the house...but to no avail.
Wish me luck in the days ahead!



good things...

1. sleeping kids
2. the magic of the "touch-n-brush" (thanks, Laura :)
3. being able to count the days left on ONE hand!

Hi Sue!!! I finally added your blog to my blog list. We've had Justin's but not yours which is a tragedy. I love your personality and your inspiring posts!!! Man, I have to be honest, I am NOT a cryer, but I got a little teary on a few of them. Thanks for that!! :) And I love your idea of "giving" every month. You are amazing! I am so happy you guys are together again, and feel so grateful I got to see you guys the other night. I hope we can get together when you are back in Utah. Good luck in NV!

Okay Aunt Sue. I think that the time has come for a necessary update... like now. Come on, I've even posted! Your turn (:

By the way... in your next post (which will come soon... :D) you should mention that handwriting/font website cause I really want to use it! But I forgot what it's called... /:

I love you!
