Packing Up.

Well, I am getting close to departure.  I have my bags packed with the exception of a few things that I still need.  The time is almost upon us in which I will be leaving.  Excitement mixed with dread is pretty much how I feel at the time.  I am excited about the new type of duty that I will be taking; dreading the extended separation from my wife and kids.  I know that I will miss them tremendously and will be in my every waking thoughts.  I only hope and pray that the time will pass quickly so that I will be home to them soon.  I love you, Erin, Aynslee, and Avery.
