These pictures are not the best quality because I didn't take our nice camera to the hangar. Just imagine trying to take pictures inside a dimly lit large warehouse...and that is what I got from these. Dave's company had their deployment ceremony the other day where they 'case' the colors/guide on until the unit can stand back up in theater. It was a very short ceremony, thank goodness, but it ended up being drug out because we were waiting on a VIP to show up. He was very apologetic to the families for making them wait but expressed how much he wanted to be a part of this day, he has two sons that fly apaches so I'm guessing it is near and dear to his heart, lol. Dave has been working a bit still, but will head out very soon. I'm not a fan of prolonged goodbyes so I'm hoping to just rip the bandaid off and get this countdown rolling. Dave is probably the most torn over this whole situation, on the one hand he loves his job and on the other he hates being away from the kids, and me I guess, hahaha. We have some fun small outings planned in the next few days to keep us busy so I'm sure the next pictures you see will be the sad goodbye for real. I'm choosing to stay positive over the whole ordeal and so far it's working, we'll see how well I'm keeping that up next week!

Good summary of the ceremony. Since this is my first deployment, I wanna just rip off the band-aid as well. Hope your family has a great last few days.
