WELCOME HOME JOE!!!

Today, May 29, 2008, Joe is returning home after serving one year active duty in Iraq. We are so excited for him to be home. His flight gets in tonight at 11:30 p.m. and we will be returning to Santaquin tomorrow afternoon, after Joe reports to Camp Williams. Damon is so excited to have his dad coming home, and is looking forward to swimming and pizza with dad. Halle and I aer quite excited too. I for one can't wait to have adult conversation again, especially in the evenings. I will be sure to post pictures and more after we get home with Joe, and have our happy reunion tonight! Thanks to everyone for all of the support we have received this past year. It means so much, and I am really looking forward to this year to come. Thank you Joe for your year spent serving your country. You are our HERO. We love you so much....

Rob thinks he saw Joe on abc 4 news, but the video wasn't on there when we went to check it on the internet. We look forward to hanging out with you and Joe again.

Hi Kirsten! Thanks so much for commenting on our blog. It is so fun to be able to see pictures of you and your completely adorable kids. You look great also, and congratulations on graduating. That is amazing with two kids!!! It is also wonderful the Joe is home now. You are so strong to be apart that long-I can see how you're looking forward to some adult conversations!
