WPF ComboBox loses Focus before it has focus

I have a WPF application that has a parent Grid, a child StackPanal. The StackPanel has two child ComboBoxes. I am trying to trigger two events on each of the comboboxes: GotKeyboardFocus and PreviewLostKeyboardFocus. The issue is, the PreviewLostKeyboardFocus appears to trigger before the respective combobox has focus. It doesn't matter which one I click on, the PreviewLostKeyboardFocus event is triggered immediately followed by the GotKeyboardFocus. Does this behavior have something to do with routed events?
