The news we've been DREADING!

So, it's official... James will be deploying to Afghanistan in March. We're not sure of the exact date yet, but we've been told that it will be mid-march. It kinda came as no surprise, but we were also hoping that it wouldn't happen.. of course... or at least not this soon after getting off of recruiting duty and moving. What really stinks is that because his deployment is only 5 months away, he will be gone a lot preparing for it. He was gone training at the end of September for a week and will be gone again for another week at the end of this month. So just keep James in your prayers, I think he's somewhat anxious/nervous about this deployment just because things are getting so bad in Afghanistan. All we can do is put all of our worries and anxietys in God's hands and just trust that everyone will be taken care of. I'll let everyone know when we know more!
