Just to fill everyone in I talked to Mike yesterday and he will be coming home Feb. 4th. I am so excited. He went to California at the beginning of January and has been gone for a month. He is getting some training to prepare him for his time in Iraq. Mason and I miss him so much. He is doing great but is ready to come home. He says it has been freezing where he is and they have had some crazy sand storms. Most of the time he is on patrol from 7pm to 7am, they work twelve hours on and 12 off. I am so thankful for my husband, sometimes i don't know how he does it. I could not do half of what he does. We should be finding out the exact date that Mike heads to Iraq with in the next week or so. We will keep you all posted. For now i am just going to enjoy the 2 months i have left with Mikey!!!
