Shorter tours?

I read today that the Army may be getting shorter tours in Iraq. I hope so. The goal they have set out is to go back to 12 month tours instead of 15 which is where it is right now. They said if it does happen that it will start this next august. Im not sure if this will effect David or not. It said some of the brigades over there now will have thier time shortened but some will not. So we can hope for the best, but prepare for the 15 like normal. It would be really nice to have him home 3 months early. Then he would not miss two Christmases and he would be here for Ivys 2nd birthday. I know 3 months does not seem like a long time, but when your best friend is gone it feels like a lifetime! I really just want this war to be over. Who knows what will happen when we get a new president. Even if they want to pull out of Iraq, that will probably take time. Good news is that David will definatly be home in June and will most likely be here for his, mine, and Constances birthdays, as well as our anniversary. We have never spent an anniversary together yet, so we are hoping this year for our fourth we can be together. Just having him home would be a great birthday and anniversary gift. I am not asking for anything more this year! Ok well its getting late so I should probably start getting ready for bed! If you read this soon hon, I love you and miss you!
