Latest Robison Insanity

Hi Everybody

Well everything has been going crazy around here for the last few weeks. Aaron is deploying next month. He is going to Afghanistan. He will be deployed for 15 months so he'll be home sometime next summer.

If you were wondering why we haven't had kids yet.....I finally got to see the Doctor about all of my tests and we are both perfectly health but I'm not ovulating (which jives with his diagnosis of PCOS) so my doctor gave me a pill called Clomid. (my mom used this so I know it works) Hopefully I should ovulate and maybe we can get pregnant before he leaves next month. Yes we'll know if we are expecting before for he deploys......Yes we have thought this through with the deployment and what it means if we do get pregnant(which is why we have a great support system in place...All of you! :D)......No He won't be coming home for the birth as we don't know if we are even pregnant or if he can even get hose dates off....... We are pretty sure of his mid-tour dates but are unable to let anyone know because A. OPSEC and B. we still aren't sure that he can even get those dates again it just depends on the time and what is going on.

I plan on coming out to Utah around last part of May to early June I'm still working it out with the other people I will be driving with. Hopefully by then I'll have some pictures of Aaron and his Farewell to show everyone.

I am still working on getting my endowments so that when he gets home from deployment we can get sealed in the temple after he gets his endowments too. Wish us luck and please keep us in your prayers

Love Anna

Funny that this War has gone on longer than WW I and the same amount of time as WW II but is not even CLOSE to the amount of deaths. And for that matter the war has gone on LONGER than Korean War but still not even CLOSE to the same death totals.. Funny how in WWI and WWII men and women would MOURN the fallen but CHEER for the living yet today the fallen are exploited for political gain and the living are cursed and attacked by the media. Isn't funny how the Soldiers you curse and condemn make it possible for you to have the RIGHT to criticize them and the government without fear of reprisal. Strange that FDR declared war on Japan the VERY NEXT DAY. But it took President Bush 1 year and 7 months before he declared war on Iraq yet people say that he was too hasty in his decision! Sad that a CIVILIAN doing the SAME EXACT JOB in Iraq as the Soldiers yet get paid thousands more a month but when it comes time to give the Soldiers a hard earned raise the money has suddenly dried up or disappeared. Funny what they DON'T put on the news or in the newspapers. Funny???? Are you laughing yet???
