Funfilled Wednesday

Last night was Matthew's band performance. I took my camera but since he is in the trumpet section he was towards the back and I couldn't see him :( They all sounded great though and played a wonderful array of Christmas music. I am so proud of all of them. Justin was singing along right with music and Ben was able to be there too :) I came home from school yesterday and he was already here (he had lunch ready for me,awwww) because he had a doctors appointment to get that xray done and they let him leave early. There might be a very small chance he may not have to leave next month for Germany, his doctor is seeing if he can postpone it since he is worried that since his ankle isn't completely healed what the effect of a deployment this soon could have on it. I'm not holding my breath or getting my hopes up but I am praying.

The unit Christmas party that was to be held Saturday has been cancelled. I was looking forward to it too. They are going to reschedule, I'm thinking it will probably be alittle bit closer to Christmas. Thats okay though, Savannah is having their annual Christmas parade Saturday afternoon along with arts and crafts set up along the river so we'll be going to that. They are even going to be showing a movie in the park that evening. Not sure if we'll go to that since it's been getting mighty chilly here in the evenings but we'll see.

3rd ID from Ft. Stewart is gearing up to go back to Iraq. From what the news is saying there is suppose to be around 150,000 troops there next month in time for the elections. That's more than what was there when we first went over. It's sad to see all the soldiers back in their DCU's (desert combat uniforms) just knowing that they have to go back. Some have already left in earlier flights but the majority will be going after Christmas. Prayers for all of our men and women in the military.
