What I am going to do

So, the time and date of his arrival got changed (no surprises there). He is now arriving at 0600 tomorrow morning.

So what I have decided to do is to not bring Madison to the ceremony. Instead, I am going to drop her off at school like usual and go to the ceremony solo, pick him up and drive right over to her Kindergarten Classroom which is 5 minutes away from the hangar where the ceremony is! Two things about that: 1. She wont have to sit through any silly speeches and 2. He has NEVER seen her classroom. He has been deployed for her entire scholastic career. Which is really very sad when you think about it. So, I think that will surprise him as well.

And then we will drive away from Wheeler Elementary as a family..................
