Goodbyes are always hard.

So, James left this morning. We got to the airport around 950, checked in his bags, and then he put us back into the car. We decided it would be easier to just have a really quick goodbye rather than waiting at the airport trying to put it off. I think it was a good idea. Kylee had a hard time with it, Wyatt didn't know what was going on, and off course it was hard for me and James. We ran an errand in town, then went back to the airport and watched the plane take off. He called me earlier to tell me that he was in SC in his hotel for the night. He leaves tomorrow afternoon for Iraq. He won't make it to Kirkuk for a few days at least, but should be there by the end of the week hopefully. I'll keep everyone updated.

Here are some pics from this morning before we went to the airport.
