    i will ask anne about a video! great idea! thanks everyone..this has been a bad few weeks, he was scheduled to come home, and they changed his orders,Anne called 2 weeks ago, sobbing so bad, i couldn't understand half of what she was saying..only that his orders had been changed, and he wasn't even on the fly list for April.
    needless to say..it was rough.
    i told her the next day..to straighten up, he will be home,when he gets there..there is nothing they can do,but make themselves more miserable..plus the kids are 7 and 2, and they are feeding off her emotions. She is in the service also..she knows what it is like..no planning when you are in the service..it could change at any time.Kim

    My kids area all adults, etc, but they're still 'my kids', and I would want to see (and know) everything! ;)

    I am very glad all the stress is over, and that he's on his way now!
