Notice anything different??? The blog has been given a "facelift" :) My very sweet friend LeighAnne held a contest on her blog and the winner would receive a blog makeover...well I was the winner! Yay!
Thank you LeighAnne for giving my blog a fresh new look! I love it!!!
Now for the update...
After my last post I have received several emails and phone calls from people who thought Jason was coming home soon. First let me say that we do not have any orders indicating an earlier date. BUT Jason will be taking a 2 week R&R during the holiday's. At first we were going to forgo the R&R because we were afraid it would be too hard on the kids, but we need it. It will be hard to say good-bye again, but I can not focus on good-bye, I must focus on how wonderful it will be to have him home for 2 weeks. :)
We are 2 days away from the offical halfway point of this deployment. We are 7 1/2 months down. We are offically on the down hill side of this deployment. :) And you better believe I am doing a "happy" dance to mark the half-way point. The last 7 1/2 months has been hard for our family, but we have made it through each day because of the grace of our Father.

Sweet Moments...
Just had to share a cute moment...Tonight Jack, Madeline, and I sat down to dinner and I asked Jackson to pray for us. This is something that Jason always did before we ate, so Jackson carries it on for us :) Well usually Jack just says "thank you for the food" and he is done. Tonight he started out with "thank you for the food"...but it was what followed that was just so sweet.
Here is what he said:
"Thank you for our food, and um um oh yea thank you for my friends...I like Chloe and Samuel, and um thank you for sister, and um Jesus please protect my daddy, I really miss him"
Often in my loneliness I forget how much Jackson is missing Jason too. Not only does Jack miss his daddy it is obvious that he thinks about him often.
And just an FYI Chloe is his girlfriend...you should have seen the hug he gave her today!
