Hello to all. We're going to be using this blog to try to keep you informed of what's going on as Brian enters the next part of his Marine journey. There will be a lot we can't post or won't be able to say (for security reasons), but hopefully this will help everyone stay connected and as informed as we can. And, I'm sure we will be including some of our political views on things as its very tough to keep the politics and reality separate when you have "skin in the game". Those of you who received an "invite" will be able to post your own thoughts- you just need to sign-up for a Google account- which is very simple.
We had a wonderful week together as Brian made it home last Saturday morning for his "pre-deployment leave". Thanks to all of you who participated in Laura's "spaghetti dinner" last Saturday. It meant a lot to us to have you here. A special thanks to Michael's dad who made the journey from Dallas to spend some time with us.
Last Sunday, we all went to Mass together and Brian was blessed by Father Tom again (we also had this done on his last deployment). It never hurts to have the "Big Guy" watching over him and his buddies. Father Tom is a very special priest who stressed to us it is "an honor and a priviledge" to do this for us. Thanks again Father Tom.
The week went by too fast, as they always do. We've had the opportunity to spend some real quality time together. It is these times when you appreciate what is really important in life. We'll be heading to the airport on Sunday afternoon as he'll return to Camp Pendleton for a few days before they all head out.
Keep all of our troops in your prayers. We'll keep you filled in as we can.
