Who is ready for some really good news? Well, I've got what you want right here.
This week, my family found out that .....
Ryan is not going to Iraq in January after all!
Isn't that just the best thing you've heard in weeks? It is to me! You could call off Christmas right this minute, and I wouldn't care! I got my present at Thanksgiving.
We're not totally sure why his unit was deactivated, but the Marines tell us it was, and that's the kind of news you just accept without a lot of question-asking.
Ryan will at some point go to Iraq, we have no doubts about that, but I personally am really glad that he's not going right this minute. We'll all breathe a little easier this holiday season without that to think about. So join us in being thankful. It's a good time of year for that.
We love y'all.
