Well, the day came. Chris left for Iraq today. We spent our last day yesterday, like it was any other day as a family. We didn't want to spend our last moments together sad, and depressed. We went out to breakfast this morning and then hung out in Chris' office while he had to take care of getting his weapon and other stuff. When it was time, we gave our hugs, and kisses and said our good-byes and watched him get on the bus. It was especially hard on Kayla. Chris is going to be taking pictures and try to post them on the blog. We want to thank everyone for your love, support, and prayers.
