I am so excited!!! Other than a day visit a year and a half ago, I haven't seen my brother in over two years!!! He has been in Afghanistan since last July and I have struggled with him being so far away. My sister and my brother are more like my kids than my siblings. My parents had a nasty divorce and I was the one that became the adult in the situation. They even call me mom!!! We are pretty tight after all of the crap our parents put us through, so we struggle with the long separations. Please pray that may kid makes it home safely. He is supposed to leave there on the tenth and then however soon they can get him home. TIA for the prayers, I know the scrap girls community can work miracles.

Oh how exciting for you ! Its a good thing you've done taking on that responsibility, your brothers and sisters are so fortunate to have you !! Take tons of photos of the homecoming !!! I'll be praying for a safe return for him
My son is leaving for his tour in Afghanistan in April, its his third tour and after this one he won't have to go over anywhere else!! These men and women have a special place in my heart for all the risks they take !!!

Thank you everyone for the warm wishes!!! I am so excited and I can't wait. It has been over two years since we have gotten pictures of all three of us together!!! So needless to say, every AA rechargeable battery in a ten mile radius will be charged and ready to go for some serious picture taking!!! I am already planning on trying to take some days off from school to spend some extra time with him. Which he also says he would like to come to the school with me and be a guest speaker. I don't know if I am going to be able to make it!!!

My brother just told me his returned could be delayed at least three days as they are in the middle of inventory!!! GRRR!!! But, I am getting all the cameras, batteries, memory cards ready to go. I will have so many pictures that I will able to do the scrap 52 challenge just from the pics from his first day back!!! Now, I am working on getting the family newsletter together to send out with the good news and get a family get together lined up!!!
