Last weekend Eric came up from Richmond to hang out with us.  This weekend he's back.  Tomorrow he deploys to Afghanistan for 6 months.  It's pretty surreal.  I tear up watching people I don't even know deploy, or come home.  This is definitely the first time I've known some one so well whose going.  Eric, you'll be in our thoughts and prayers often. Come home safe and soon!



Last weekend we saw some sights and mid afternoon Eric and Benjamin (and maybe me too) enjoyed some cigars and port outside at our communal patio table.  Ah, the good life.
