Jamie is coming home!

Jamie Upchurch, one of my best friend's from high school, is coming home from Afghanistan!  Over the last year we talk about Jamie frequently in our house.  We pray for him every time we see a helicopter.  (At one point Jamie told us he was jumping out of helicopters and Port talks about it almost daily)  For Christmas this year Jamie sent the boys a toy helicopter, they were so excited.  Jamie also just sent a video of pictures showing all he's been doing over the last year.  The video was so great that I showed the boys this morning.  
We started talking about all the things we were thankful for since Jamie is coming home safely.  The boys prayers were super sweet, but the best part was our conversation about the bad guys.  In the video Jamie is carrying a gun most of the time, so we talked about how he is fighting the bad guys.  Discussing war with a 3 year old is a little difficult, but basically I told him that the bad guys don't know Jesus.  So when Port prayed he thanked God for Jamie's safety and asked that the bad guys would know Jesus!  I love his heart! 
We can't wait to see Jamie!  Thank you for serving our country!  We love you!
