As we near the end of the deployment, I wanted to share with you all a story that was aired on NBC nightly news with Brian Williams on May 4th. It is a short story covering Army Captain Andy Sergent. Andy is Mark's Company Commander. What you see in the footage is some of what Mark is doing as well. Erica, his wife, and I have been friends throughout the deployment so to see their story aired was truly touching and really hit home. Its not often you can point at the television and say- I know that person and I can relate first hand to all of that (minus having kids).
The segment shows Andy trying to call his middle child to wish her a happy birthday and being bummed to miss her. I know with my upcoming graduation on Sunday to receive my doctorate in physical therapy Mark is feeling the same way- very excited and happy for me, but bummed to be missing it.
Enjoy the links, keep sending prayers, they are almost home.

On a warm night in June, at 1AM I dropped Mark off at Fort Lewis. That was our final good bye and though it was filled with tears and was very difficult, we made it. His deployment to Afghanistan will be about a year in length. On the blog, I'll post e-mail updates from him as I hear from him to keep everyone up to date on all the information I receive. Thank you for all of the love and support through this process. I am so grateful.
