A Sad Day....

Today my brother, Nathan, left for Iraq. It was even sadder because Vincent and I didn't get to see him at Christmas since we didn't get to go to Georgia this year. So it's been a rough day for me. I held a brave face while on the phone with him this morning but as soon as I got off, I was crying and have been crying on and off all day. To be honest, Nate should be completely safe. He is in the Air Force and flies cargo planes so it's not a dangerous job but it's scary for anyone to have family over there because you just never know what could happen. I am a natural worrier so things like this I don't handle very well. On top of that the hormones are all out of wack so that makes it even worse.....
Since I am at work, I went onto Facebook and stole all the pictures I could find of Nate (thanks, Shelly!). He has several funny faces so I wanted to get them all in plus I just miss him so don't judge me for the millions of pictures.
He gets back in May so right before his niece/nephew will be born. Everyone here will be missing and praying for him! He definitely makes our family proud!
Good luck, Nate!!
