Theres good news coming our way...

So, my Chaplain, bless his heart has been diving in full force to get me some answers...and he has emerged victorious. Turns out in the begining when they said it'd be 2-3 weeks they were giving me false information. Go figure right? Well last week the Surgeon General of the Army came down (lots of stars...he's one of the top guys of the Army) to check things out. Anyway, he had two things he really didn't like about our wounded warriors. Well one was that we were getting false information. Anyway, my Chaplain found out that my orders were cut on the 18th of April. And now it really should be 2-3 weeks til I get them and can start the 10 day process of getting out of here.

Exciting: YES
Stressful: YES YES

Turns out that would put me on or around the week of my departure is about when my nephew turns 1, and my mini-me (Kati, my cousin) graduates from High School. This makes me REALLY nervous. These were 2 huge events that I really need to be home for. No, it wouldn't end the world, but I'd be quite sad missing that. Please pray that we can get the orders and work out a plan that I can be home even the day of or the evening before Kati's graduation so I can be present. Oh, shhhhh if it comes down to real close and I know I'm going to make it, I think I'll tell Kati a little fib and surprise her.
