I appreciate the vote of confidence guys! Honestly though, my wife deserves more of the credit at this point than I do. She's been there day after day, being mother, and trying to figure out how to also be father to the kids, while I've been gone roughly four of the last seven years, factoring in three deployments and multiple training blocks away from home. I've heard it said the toughest job in the army is being an army wife. I'd have to agree.
