Changes.

Life tends to throw us curveballs when we least expect them. Usually they are small ones, like an unexpected rain shower (how did I lose my umbrella AGAIN?!), a sick child (or dog!!), frogs in your house (at least they're cute), the barista who makes your latte wrong (wait...I am my own barista!). All things we adapt to and overcome everyday. The Army/Military in general loooove doing this. Changes at the last minute, changes after the fact, change change change....wait...where have I heard that word before??

Yesterday we got a HUGE curveball thrown at all of us - a big change in Brian's deployment and while we don't have a lot of details, please keep our family and friends in your prayers as we ALL make this transition to Afghanistan. As soon as I find out more information, I'll do my best to share without violating OPSEC (Operational Security). Hopefully I'll have a new address for Brian soon, but until then any packages can still be sent to his current APO address or to me and I will forward them to him once they get moved (it's free for me to mail things to him - it's considered APO to APO). If you need his address or our home address, feel free to email me: NicoleYatesSmit at gmail.com
