I mentioned that Dave and I got away for a kid-free weekend while Helen and Michael babysat (thank you). We went to Austin to hang out with my family since both my brother-in-law, Jeff, and my little sis Sara are heading to Iraq. For those of you who don’t know, Jeff and Sara both fly blackhawks and met in pilot training. They were married last year and are in separate units, so their deployments will be separated by about 6 months. This means they have to spend their first few years as newlyweds far apart (or perhaps passing each other in the skies over Iraq). Jeff is leaving next week. Sara, this fall. It was great to see them both and just hang a little before their journey begins. God speed guys. Come home safe and sound, and until then we’ll be sending lots of thoughts, prayers, good vibes, and general mojo your way! We love you!
