Help
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.

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!!!
