JASON IS ON HIS WAY HOME!!!!!!!

There has been some crazy information about exactly when Jason was leaving, but it is for sure. Yesterday Jason called me, from anther base in Quandahar and said he was coming HOME. And this morning he called me from Kyrgyzstan so Jason is definitely out of the country. YEAH!!!! This is so exciting, because just a week ago he told me that there had been some "glitch" and that he wouldn't be able to leave until the 30th of December and that he probably wouldn't see us until January 10th. That made me eat about 4 hagendaags ice cream bars. NOW it's time for the treadmill and extra sit-ups (I know wishful thinking). I might see him in less than 5 days. Cross your fingers folks. Christmas miracles do happen for those who still believe.
Grandpa Rogers and Uncle Boyd are going to try and fly up here and welcome Jason home with us, and I wanted to let everyone know that they are welcome to come as well. I will keep everyone posted who would like to try and come so just let me know.

It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like.......

We put our tree up a few weeks ago but I haven't had time to put up any pictures until now. This is the first time that I have actually had a tree that coordinated with my decor. I actually am impressed with this milestone in my life. We still have our other tree, the one with all our home-made decorations, it's downstairs in the "family room" The kids had a fun time decorating that one all by themselves. Jensen took care of our outdoor decorations as well. We didn't put lights on our house, we'll wait for Dad to do that next year.

By the way. Jason will be leaving his Base on the 18th or 19th. He won't be heading home just yet he gets to spend Christmas at some other big military installation. After Christmas sometime he will be leaving Afghanistan for good or bad, it depends on how you want to look at it. So don't send any packages to him anymore he won't get them. But thanks to all those who did, he really appreciated it.
