I took my camera to the deployment and snapped a few pictures - you can see them below.
The 22 Area parade deck at about 12:30 AM.
Waiting outside the armory at around 2 AM
My handsome husband :)
It was so chilly that night! All the little kids were bundled up.
After the weapons were checked out, bags were dropped off...the waiting starts.
Finally the buses pulled up, and it was time to say goodbyes.
Last minute instructions.
And the deployment was officially underway.
Prayers for a safe deployment, and safe travels for the main body of CLR-15 FWD as well.
I'm getting back in the swing of weekend portrait sessions since I took off almost 2 months before my husband left. Looking forward to meeting some wonderful new families and creating priceless memories.
The pics look great!
ReplyDeleteOh gosh Stephanie, it never get's any easier. The pictures are lovely but also heartbreaking. I know this is very, very far off but I would love to have you take pics at our homecoming.
