Mother's Day

I love Mothers day, its just one more day that i can show mine how much i appreciate all her hard work and endless love. This past year she has really has become my bestfriend. The day that Chris was deployed, she automatically stepped in and has taken the role of being my "husband" until Chris comes home and she's done it so well. She has helped me so much with all the changes in my life and has been there to keep me busy and cheer me up when i start breaking down. She is my hero and I love her so much. I did get a call from Chris that morning! I can't tell you how good it is to hear his voice and be able to be so blessed with todays technology. He did get me a beautiful neckalace for mothers day. Thank honey I love it! He did receive news that we would be able to get him home for the birth of Bailey however the military will not pay for his flight and he found out that it's going to cost us about $4,000 to fly him from Africa to Europe to AZ then back. I wanted to cry just because we both new that even with permission to come home we can't afford it. That and to now know that i can have him back for a little bit and then have it yanked away was heart breaking but we are both trying are best to stay positive and still are discussing, hoping and praying to find another way that wont cost us an arm and a leg. We are very thankful though to know it wont be very long before he'll coming back to us. Well i just wanted all know and to wish all you mothers a happy mothers day and I cant wait to join the group.

The wild!

Okay so the first two collages I got from a website that a few marines put together for all their adventures while being deployed in Africa. If you look close at the second one on the right hand side their is a picture of Chris. The third one is Chris chillin in the tower ( I think thats were he's at) on his laptop. The next one is so cool, Chris said while he was on duty one day a cool looking bird flew down and rested at the end of his machine gun (It's like beauty and the beast. The beast being th gun of course. ya that was a dumb thought). The last one is of Chris just posing with so kind of weapon that I dont know the name of. Well I hope you guys like the pictures I will be posting more within the next few days of the village and some of the children. Chris is doing well, his latest news is that he now has his own room! He is really excited about that oh and he went to the boys orphange last week. He misses everyone and sends his love.

Waiting for the dang plan

I found some pictures from a website that a few of the marines put together and I loved this picture just because everyone looks so "excited" to be leaving for Africa. I think this was the airport that the guys were at in germany while they were waiting for there connecting flight to Africa. Oh and there's our favorite guy up front looking like he just woke up from a nap that or he's in some serious thoughts. Sorry honey but i just had to put this on the blog.
