Deployment

We've been here for less than a month and Rob received news today that he will be deploying to Bangladesh.

We wanted to come to Okinawa because we knew there would be awesome opportunities for Rob to deploy on humanitarian missions. I just didn't think it would happen so soon. I'm excited for him and jealous I can't go with him. What an experience! As I was trying to find out more about the country I discovered it is the most densely populated country in the world. It's also extremely poor and the government is in the process of being reorganized. It's also 89% Islamic and the rest is Hindu. I'm assuming it's safer than Iraq. Stay posted.

That's great for Rob. Hopefully you won't be too bored or lonely with the kids while Rob is gone. That's neat though to be able to visit so many different countries!

Wow, that was fast. I guess they take some and they leave some. :) Good luck to Rob and I just love all of your pictures of your fun adventures. Isn't moving fun!
