Today is a bitter sweet day. It’s Jack’s 8th birthday and the day I leave for Afghanistan. I’m extremely grateful that I’ve been able to hang around for a few extra weeks to enjoy both of the kids birthdays. This morning we celebrated Jack’s birthday with homemade waffles, bacon, and opening presents. Jack was excited to open all of the “Spy Gear” presents he received. He is currently “in training” to become a secret agent so the spy gear will come in handy.
Today I will begin the process of deploying. I will leave the house around lunch time, say goodbye to Britin and the Kids, and “go to work.” Going to work is our way of saying goodbye without the difficulty of really saying goodbye. We just assume I’m going to work like any other day and a few days later Britin will pick-up my truck in the parking lot where I left it. This is a great way to trick ourselves.
I will update the blog as soon as I can so tune into the next installment of “Where in the world is Mikey.”
Thank you for your continued support, prayers, and love.
