I just wanted to have you all celebrate with me. Ben is out of Iraq. He's somewhere between Iraq and here meaning he's in holding either in Kuwait or Germany. He'll be there for another 24 hours and then he will fly to the US where he will be inprocessed and given a complete physical. Then HOME!!! 
I wanted to weep with relief when I heard he was out of Iraq. Thank you to everyone for your prayers for they have sustained me these months.
