THURSDAY, JUNE 10th

This is day 396 of my darling wife's deployment.

That is one year, thirty days. Shall we call it 13 months?

Here is the cool thing though...today is the recommended postal cutoff day for mailing things to our loved ones in our brigade in Baghdad. That is based upon their redeployment plan...under the current plan they are concerned things mailed after today won't catch up to our guys.

It's a milestone. Yes...they've moved the goalposts in the past. But its a milestone.

And faith has got to start somewhere.
