Getting Closer....

Here in Clarksville, TN we have seen our popluation triple in the past week. Why? We are having mulitple flights of soldiers return home after a very long deployment. Many of our friends returned home yesterday. It was wonderful see them again but very difficult to explain to the kids why their daddy is still at work and answer the question "When is my daddy coming home?" This has been our favorite question for about three weeks. We are still in the dark about a date for Ben's return. It seems the closer we get to a rumor date it changes to a later date. The unknow is no fun and hard to explain to a little girl who misses her daddy. Hopefully we will have some good news soon. Right now we do know that Ben is working to help the other unit set up until the 15 and then they are to head south to Kuwait. How long they sit in Kuwait is a good question. At this point we are just hoping that he makes it home for Thanksgiving. We are hanging in there and will keep you all posted with what we know once it has been shared. Until then enjoy your weekend.

We will be praying that times goes by fast so Riley can see her Daddy that see misses so much. Luckily Brenden can't add to the "when is daddy coming home" at his age, but I know we can't wait to see his Daddy/hero. And let's not forget about you, I can't wait for you to feel the comfort in knowing that Ben is home!

Time will seem to stand still for awhile then before you know it he will be home with the family. Love Mom
