Robert, Shanda, Starlynn, Jacob and Nathan Ayala are preparing for Robert's deployment to Afghanistan. This will be his last deployment. He retires in 13 months so life will drastically change for them once he returns. Shanda certainly has her hands full this two wirey little boys and this beautiful preteen girl.
Robert, Thank you for your service years and your willingness to attend to the things that those of us here in West Texas don't even understand. You have our prayers, sir.
