Update on Jason

He has moved to the day shift, so we will most likely only get to talk via phone on the weekends now due to our crazy schedules and the time difference of 8 hours (they did not "fall" back an hour!) So that is a bit hard, but thank goodness for computers.
He is doing good though...it is a bit warmer being on the day shift (it has dropped to the 90's now and around 60's at night), but he is keeping really busy! They only had one day to switch from nights to days, so it was a rough start for him on Wednesday but I think he was so tired by evening, that he was able to get on track fairly quickly. But it is definitely quite exciting to know we are definitely on the downside of this deployment!!! The ending can not come quick enough!
Also, in other news...we thought there would be a chance for us to go back to Florida, but the military decided to nix that. Jason has been doing some calling along with his wonderful command that he works for now (kinda sad you have to deploy in order to find good supervisors!) in hopes of having something for him for when he returns. He kinda does not have a job when he returns, so he was "looking" for a job and there were some in Florida (sorry -trying to put it in laymen's terms.) After his commander made a few phone calls they were told we have to be on station 2 years before leaving. Which kinda does not make much since...but we do like it here but Jason was trying to take advantage of having an opportunity to actually pick your next assignment. So it looks like we will be in VA for a little bit longer...for how long, we do not know?? But if you think about it, please do say a prayer that all goes smoothly with a job for him when he does return.
