I especially love e-mail when it is from the Brigadier General of my husband's brigade. He stated that although he couldn't give specific dates (OPSEC again), he was able to tell us that we could meet the soldiers upon their return at the demobilization station. There they would go through meetings, health screenings, etc., and then come home to Delaware, and their welcome home ceremony.
He also gave dates for their 30, 60 and 90 day reintegration meetings. I complain about these meetings, because the pre-mob meeting was dreadful, but you know what, I get to spend a whole day with my husband, what more could I ask for? The 90 day meeting is an overnight one, and the Army provides accommodations - a mini vacay?
I also received a second e-mail from our Brigade assistant, who stated our last day to send packages to our soldiers was July 31, and letters, August 15.
I am so excited. This deployment actually will END!

- I am a 4th grade teacher and love my job, even if I do need a glass of wine at the end of the day sometimes! I have been married to my amazing husband for over five years now and love every second we are together. We have survived a year deployment to Iraq and are happy to be together again. We welcomed our first child, Patrick, on April 2, 2011. He is truly a blessing! I started this blog as a way to keep Michael updated on my life if we couldn't talk, and for my friends at school!
Before our long year began...
Together again after our long year apart

Heck YES!!! After your 90 day meeting...come vacay with us in Greenville :)
I signed up to do a mud run in VA on August 8th. It's 5 miles on the beach...i think it's going to be pretty tough. I'm part of a team named Offspring of Chuck Norris...we should win by default.
Now that is the funniest thing every. Beach running SUCKS.
HAHAHA
