What a day!

After 10 months I can finally say....

He's back!

He was in the first group to leave Kuwait..after crossing 13 time zones and traveling for a little over 23 hours Scott (and a few others) arrived at Hickam Air Force Base around lunchtime.  The re-deployment ceremony was short and sweet (after it started 1/2 hour or so late) and then they were released...until PT on friday at least...

off to the left was a screen where we could see them check in and doing whatever it is they do

the band...

here they come...all 206 of them..

there he is...you know, the one in front on the right...

Happy 5th of July!

I hope that everyone had a fun-filled 4th! 

Here while other units are deploying we are getting ready for the 25th CAB (Combat Aviation Brigade) to redeploy (come home) soon.  Exciting stuff!  Hopefully Scott won't have to deploy again too soon, but who really knows.  The future is always up in the air with the Army; no matter how good of a plan you thought you have you're probably going to end up with plan c or d before all is said and done.  We do know that we're pcsing (permanent change of station) sometime in the near future, but nothing's for sure until we have orders in hand!  

Anywhoo, here's a video to celebrate nearing end of deployment #2!  I had to put it on youtube b/c it won't upload into blogger no matter how hard I try for some reason, ugh its been SUCH a pain.

Scott was supposed to fly this evening, but he was told to go home shortly after arriving at work. I know we'll be thinking of the families and friends of these two individuals.

Annoucements, Announcements, Announcements....

Some information we'd like to share......
















We found out this week that we will be leaving the island by Feburary of next year (2009). Although we're sad at the news b/c we are settled in here and hey its a pretty nice place to be, we know that this is an opportunity to go someplace we've not yet been and maybe be closer to home. Right now its up in the air as to where we'll be and we don't know when we'll have orders. Scott has requested savannah, kentucky, or kansas -- most of those places will be returning from deployment. But, as we know, nothing is for sure and things change pretty quick. So, cross your fingers for us!!
