Today, my beautiful cousin, Amber, (who will turn 27 on Friday) deploys for her second tour in Iraq. She is a 1st Lt. in the Marines. I called her this morning @ 8 A.M. central time, which was 6 A.M. California time. Yeah, I interrupted her beauty sleep. (I'm sure it's probably her last day of peaceful sleep, until she returns.) She said, "Did you forget about the time difference?" I hadn't, but I figured she would be up running around. I didn't keep her long. I just wanted to call her before she left to tell her I was thinking about her and would be praying for her safe return.
I admire her bravery and I'm very proud of her. I hope all of you who read my blog will add her, as well as all the other troops, to your prayer list. They are all sacrificing a great deal for us.

Hey,
It's been hard for Bill and I to let our baby go to Iraq. But, she promise us that she will be out of harms way.Anyhow, please pray for her safe return.
Olivia,
She's one tough Marine...my prayers are with her and her family. I know how your aunt Olivia feels...but she's well trained and 100% a Marine. I can't wait to go and visit her again when she gets home!!
