Counting down the days.....

We only have a few more weeks until Chris will be home!! But for security reasons the Marine Corps doesn't like us to say much about the actual day they'll be returning. We don't even know yet. Just a tentative window that will probably change a few times before he gets home!

I was looking at 1/9's webpage tonight and found this picture of Chris (far left). I only wish the check he's holding was for us. :-) For the enlisted Marines they get a re-enlistment bonus for signing up for another 4 years. I guess they had a special re-enlistment service and passed out these checks to all those guys. Not sure who got this check ($48,000.00), but if you re-enlist while in Iraq you get that money tax free!!! These guys sure deserve it! Even though we won't be getting a check, I'm so proud of Chris and all the hard work he does for our country. And believe me, he works very hard. Probably the hardest working man I know. And it's because of him (and all of our military) our country gets to sleep in peace at night! Thanks babe, we love you!
