It's August!!!

Yeah, the month I have been waiting for since last November. Mario comes homes this month!

Here's an email I got from Mario this morning:

I didn't go anywhere today. Everyone that's in my departure group was very excited when they came in to work today... WE'RE IN AUGUST! We go home this month. Jeff leaves in 9 days, one of the NCOs leaves in about 12, the rest of us in 19.

August is going to be a whole month of celebrations. We are celebrating that August is finally here. Next week we get to celebrate Eric's 13th birthday and Erin's 11 birthday. Then we will celebrate Mario leaving Kabul. The ultimate celebration will be at the end of the month, when we finally get to greet him at the airport.

What an exciting month!
