Goodbyes

We saw Andrew last night for the last time. We enjoyed celebrating him and his birthday a bit early with Mom and Dad, Andrew and Nataly and our family. He heads to Dublin tomorrow and then him and his unit head to Wisconsin for some training and then deploy to Baghdad. Goodbyes are always hard but this one was especially hard. We've been waiting and waiting and waiting for this moment and when it was finally here you just want it to be anywhere else. Its going to be a long year and there are a lot of anxious feelings. We're proud of you, Andrew. And we're going to miss you. We love you and pray safety for you and your unit.
