Update on Joe

Many of you have been asking me about Joe so I figured it was time to update you. He has been busy since he returned to Afghanistan in July. The first few weeks he was back he stayed in Orgun-e but it wasn't too long before they sent him on another mission. He was on the mission for a few weeks and has since returned to Orgun-e. Joe is getting anxious to come home and stay for a while. We've been sending him as many pictures as possible. We're all excited to be counting down to his return. The unit has asked to begin refraining from sending packages because they are afraid they may not arrive before the guys move forward. I will update you more on his return time when I know more and when I can say more. We look forward to being together as a family again and I know Joe looks forward to visiting and spending time with all of you. He is greatful for all the family and friends that have supported him, and us throughout this year. It has definitely been a trying year but we know our relationship and our family is only stronger because of it! I don't know about you but I am so excited to soon be welcoming home my husband!
