16 December 2008

Just another month, maybe?

Could it be just one more month!? While Josh left on January 19, his official orders started January 17, which means January 16, 2009 would complete his full year! One month from today!

Many of you in the area saw the homecoming last Tuesday of the first 100 to return. There were a few in the group from Josh's unit, but as the article and news stories indicated, there are still over 1200 in Afghanistan from the NY Guard. A few hundred returned back in September as they were deployed last September as part of the advance/transition teams.

We continue to wait for any word from Josh indicating his return. Otherwise, he continues to do well. Decorations for the holidays are in full force in Afghanistan. He has said all year that for any holiday -- the decorations are big -- Constitution Day and all!

We'll keep you posted!
