Time To Go

Ok, I don't have a lot of time to write as I'm heading out the door in about 5-10 minutes to head to base to head off on my deployment to Central Asia. But I wanted to say hi again, hopefully reminding you to keep in touch while I'm gone, and to post some pictures I've been promising to post for the past week.

So PLEASE stay in touch! It hasn't really hit me yet that I'm going to be gone for several months, Ben is surprised that I'm handling it so well emotionally...but the tears will probably hit after I'm in the air and it really hits me that this is it, I'm gone. I'm also excited about it and also really tired so all of that together is a potent emotional brew waiting to boil over. Prayers are appreciated! :)

OK, so here are the pictures I promised:

Decorating Christmas Cookies
White Christmas - With A Vengeance!
View From our Dining Room - Narnia-esque, I think
Partridge in a Pear Tree...well, more like a wild turkey!

Thank you to all who called and were able to catch up a little before I left, I really appreciated it! Hope you all had a wonderfully Happy Christmas and will have a Joyous and Blessed New Year!
