Saying goodbye!

We said goodbye to Michael twice. The first time we woke the kids up and left the house at 6:15am. After standing around for a while, we were told there would be a 24-48 hour delay. This was such awesome news because it was my birthday and since all of the stress of packing was gone, we were able to spend a relaxing day together. Michael is so awesome! We went and worked out, went shopping, went out to eat, and just enjoyed being together for a little bit more time. The next day, we said goodbye again (a little bit more emotional this time) and he left for Iraq. How crazy that my husband is actually in Iraq. I felt so bad for him though because he really did not want to go, but didn't have a choice. Hopefully his 5-6 months will go by really fast. We sure miss him. :(
