When is Curtis coming home you ask?

Many of you have been asking when Curtis is coming home. Well, I'd love to say he's coming home for good on July 20th but NO, he's not. He'll be home on July 20th for another vacation for 2 weeks. We are still a little up in the air as to when he'll actually be home to stay. All we know is that it won't be until sometime in the first half of next year. After this vacation in July he won't be home again until December. He'll have a 3 week vacation that time because he'll have been there over a year. At the end of their year mark they get a 3 week vacation. His year is up in October but he's going to save it until December and hopefully be home for Christmas. We've also decided that we're going to try and have Garrett's 3rd and last surgery done at that time. However, if Garrett gets sick again and we have to postpone it, we'll wait until after Curtis is back for good to do it. Now I just need to call Garrett's cardiologist and talk to him about what we decided.

Anyway, we decided it would be best for Curtis to stay longer than a year because of the economic situation. His year is up in October but if he came home then he really wouldn't have any work because that's the normal slow season for construction. So we decided it would be best for him to stay through the winter at least and then he can come home and get his contractor's license and get down to business.
