Got a recent message from Blake that he would be leaving his deployment this Saturday, the 13th. Of course, one doesn't just simply leave there and come straight home, so the whole trip is slated to take about a week with the last stops being in Germany, then Maine, then back here in Austin.
He's excited, just as you would imagine him to be, of the prospect of coming home. The neighborhood here is planning a big welcome home for him and decorating the houses all up the street with flags and such. Janie is making a banner. We had thought of borrowing the one from the family down the street that said "Welcome Home Daddy" but didn't want to scare Blake too badly.
Blake has said that he has put us on a notification list, but I'm not too sure what that entails just yet. We'll have to see. At any rate, there will be plenty of pictures up here soon, and we'll post something else as soon as we know more. Till then, take care all. He'll be home soon.
