I just got done talking to David over MSN. I don't know what to say to him. I want to tell him how much I miss and love him but I always end up talking about stupid stuff that doesn't matter. It hurts so bad to be away from him. I really need to get busy so time goes by quicker. This weekend I am going to Texas to get his car, well I guess it's our car but I can't get myself to call it anything but his. I will be traveling with his Dad and Susan.
6 months and I will see David's face again. I can do it, I did almost 4 months with only talking to him on Sundays for 10 minutes. David did tell me in a short email I got yesterday that they are going into a very dangerous part of Iraq. I kind of wish I didn't know that, but that's OK cause he will come home to me.
Today would have been my cousin, Hailey-Joh's, birthday. She was born Nov. 6 1998 and passed away May 9 1999. Miss you and love you Hailey!
Everyone who reads this please keep him and my other fister boys of 1st Cav in your prayers.

Jess, you, David and your young one are in my prayers. We don't know each other but I came across your blog and have been following it since the news of your baby and David's commissioning.
I can't imagine the way your heart must be tugging within the both of you. Perhaps he will read the blog and know how much you miss him; he probably already knows it. Sometimes talking about "nothing" is all that can be mustered up because the naked truth would be too painful.
Lord God, you know the deep turmoil that the human soul can experience. You've experienced it as Jesus Christ.
Lord, draw nearer to Jess in this bleak time. Let her see the little mercies that are provided each day to make it bearable. Give her the diversion she needs during the Christmas season. Help her be open to the offerings of friends and even strangers. Help her to take one day at a time, to trust, to grieve, to release what she can to you. Protect her baby from any worries she may be experiencing. You are the compassionate God of righteousness and might.
Provider God, open the way for David to experience what he needs to for his growth and also grant him wisdom as he faces the challenges that come his way. Bond his group so that they watch out for each other. Shield them from discouragement, from doubt and fill their hearts with courage, wisdom, enthusiasm, grace and honesty. May you receive the credit for the way David and his group conduct themselves. You are great!
God bless you, Jess...
