46 more days...

until Ricardo can leave Afghanistan. woo-hooo!!
He was going to stay a few extra weeks which would put him coming home the first week of December. A little extra money is what we were thinking when considering that option. We have just come to miss being around each other, him missing certain memorable events in the boys lives, etc... Those are things you just can't get back. So putting an extra a few extra $$ doesnt amount to the time lost with family, holidays missed, which he would be missing Thanksgiving if he stayed. I have realized many times including this time what a great husband and father Ricardo is. More importantly what a great supporting family that we both have. We would not be who we are and where we are without them! Thank you!!!!
I know he has been working his butt off over there and when I have talked with him lately it's quite obvious that he is ready to come home. We are more than ready to have him home at this point! Working practically seven days a week since he got there in May can wear you down I am sure..
So here's to 46 more days until he can celebrate his homecoming... 75 more days until we can celebrate (aboard the Carnival Conquest) being together again and Ricardo obtaining his masters/while working full-time and going to school full-time... Anything is possible!
