Ok, it is official.....

I talked to Jakers on Thanksgiving and he told me

that is boss said he could be off from 12/30-1/5/08.

I am so relieved to know that we will see him and

be able celebrate his birthday on Jan 1st. Even though he

won't be home for Christmas....we are so happy

for the time we can be together. I know Hunter (pic)

will be happy, along with my family too!!!
