Senator Susan Collins went to Iraq last week. She wouldn't say why, but just a second ago they had her on the news talking to the 133rd Battallion and telling them that the planes to Fort Drum, NY are going to be leaving this Wednesday and Thursday! Which means, after 14 months in Mosul, Iraq, my father is finally coming home!

*Does the dance of joy!*

He still needs to spend a week or so in Fort Drum for debriefing, but at least he'll be safe. ^_^

EDIT: Those of you wondering about my doctor's appointment today, I had to reschedule for Thursday because a storm came in all of a sudden last night. Should have known if I spend the night listening to "Beyond the Century" and writing about snow that there would be a snow storm.
