The Caruthers house hold is both very sad and very proud to say that Rob is leaving in January to join the fight.
We were told Monday that this was coming, Tuesday to go ahead and start packing the house, Wednesday to get five giant shots (more to follow today and next Wednesday), Thursday that blanket orders are coming so that I can pack and store our house, and today a woman is coming to give me an estimate for the house.
Whew! It's going by way too fast. So fast we haven't been able to fully digest everything, and it seems like there's more to take in every day. We just ask that you'll be in prayer for Rob's safety and mental health over the next eight months. He's doing fine right now, just really bummed about leaving us and missing eight months of Henry (who wouldn't be sad about that!).
We are extremely proud to be a military family. This is not an easy part of the job, but it is a part of the job and I am so grateful to my wonderful husband and the thousands out there just like him that are also separated from those they love in order to preserve our safety and freedoms. How amazing it is that these people are standing in harms way so that Henry and I don't have to! Praise be to God that there is that courage in the world! And may the Lord be with each one of them.
On a slightly brighter note, this allows Henry and I to come back to Texas for the next 8 months. I'm thinking of it as a nice consolation prize until Rob comes home to us in September.
We just want to thank all of you in advance for your prayers and your support as we move forward with all of this.

We are so proud of you Rob, thank you for fighting for our freedoms! Kase, I know this will be a difficult transition but I am thankful that you will be home with us! We love you guys!
You know we will be praying everyday for Rob's and so many others safety. We are so proud of him as well, and proud of you too. Military spouses have a great responsibility too. Knowing you and Henry are okay will help him be okay too. We love you guys and are looking forward to seeing you soon.
Rob, your service makes you a hero. Your sacrifice only confirms it.
Kasey, you are sacrificing just as much and we will be praying for you as well as Rob. We can't imagine what you guys are going through. We love yall!!
Randy and Ashley
Thanks All, I know that Kase and Henry will be in good hands down in DFW. I'll be back before you know it, and hopefully I will have sweat off that extra chin in the hot Iraqi sun:)
