Spoken too soon

I guess I updated the blog too soon.. Ty did make it back to base safely, but not until 5:30 a.m. I don't know the whole story, but hopefully I will hear it later today! The send-off ceremony is scheduled from 11-2 p.m. in MS, and then the soldiers are 'free' to deploy.

Second Goodbye

Ty made it back to Mississippi safely... I guess thats a good thing. After some delays because of weather (in Memphis), and a changed arrival into New Orleans instead of Gulfport, they finally made it. Good thing Ty didn't check in his backpack and other electronics..he's not sure if he will be getting his one checked item back (his bathroom stuff- because of the gel).




Getting ready to fly away...




Jeff, Ty & Kristy

Last picture together of 2006...

The big send off ceremony for the boys is tomorrow (November 29) and then begins the wait until 'the big day.' Hopefully we will find out soon when they arrive. They call the first day "boots on ground" - and then begins the 1 year countdown!

I know these posts aren't as witty as Simon's or Matt's...but I can't quite figure out how to make a deployment a funny subject..
