We just heard word that Robby will be deploying to Afghanistan. Seriously... crazy and unexpected news! He leaves in just two short weeks. He will be stationed at Bagram AFB... which is in the mountains and actually very pretty. He will be processing in/out soldiers from the base... so it's a relatively safe job considering it's in Afghanistan. Mary likes to think he will be sitting behind a table saying "Welcome to Afghanistan, here's your helmet!". He will be back mid-September... so the summer will fly right on by... hopefully. He is nervous and scared but also very excited to be able to serve. I hate being alone so please come and visit me! Here are some things to keep me busy while he is gone:
*Celebrate our anniversary before he leaves and drink our wedding wine
*Bring Mary to Duluth for a weekend
*Go camping with the Balgaard clan
*Spend some time in Ashby
*Garage sale and buy things without Robby knowing.... ha!
*Read a book (I'm taking book suggestions...)
*Exercise... a lot!
I'm going miss this face!
