ONE LEAVES THE USA & ANOTHER COMING HOME.

DAWN AND BRANDON

WE ARE BELGIUM BOUND...

Her Dad says it seems like yesterday that she was still in kindergarden.

They came out to say their good-bye's. I had told Dawn yesterday that I was going to have my emotions stuck in my back pocket, knowing good and well that it was going to be so hard to see them leave.

We had our first of three Christmas's today with them. We tried to keep it very simple in hopes of getting through the day without sheading too many tears.

They head to Belgium bright and early in the morning for four years where they will be stationed with the Air Force. New country, new home, new jobs and a new beginning is how they see it. It should be lots of fun and a new experience for them both.

She says that Belgium chocolate will be headed back this way just as fast as she can get it here.
