Hi everyone.

Here is some background on me.

I want to let you know there is some one else out there going through the same thing! It is so tough but we can all make it through together.

I am 22 years old. Mother of 2 boys 5 yrs and 1 yr old. I have been married for 2 years to a great soldier named Joe... GI Joe. ;)

Joe was deployed to Iraq July 12th 08. Our baby was just 6 months old and it was so hard for him to leave. I am just very glad that he did get to be there for the birth. I think that would be the hardest thing to miss.

We now "only" have 93 more days left to go . He got his leave back in November so it is a really long haul from then to July. :(
