Thanks everyone! I just got word from Jesse today that he probably won't be back in the states until the 29'th. He's pretty disappointed to say the least but thats just the way it goes. I just want him home safely! Yes Saph he's kinda home for good. He doesn't have to go back to Iraq but he's reenlisting in the Air Force and is going to be stationed in Guam for 3 years! He's really looking forward to it though and thats the reason he's staying in. I didn't really know anything about Guam, but its a tropical Paradise in the South Pacific. I guess if I was single and 23 years old I'd have a hard time passing that up too! As long as he is safe. ;D and sounds like he will be pretty happy too!! You can celebrate his homecoming on New Years! What an awesome way to bring in the new year!! |
