I'm still here...

Hey y'all..

Just wanted to let you know that I am still here... The job is amazing, but I've been busier than a one legged man in a butt kickin contest!! I'm just feeling a little melancholy today... All my friends are home from Iraq (thank God!!), with the exception of my good friend RG. He was supposed to fly out of Baghdad on Sept.9 but I don't know if it actually happened and I haven't heard from him. And I feel awful b/c one of my friend's friend got home before RG, and I was actually jealous. I was jealous b/c he went over there long after RG and came home before him. My first reaction should have been pure joy that my friend will be reunited with her friend very soon... and really I am so happy for her and give thanks to God that her nightmare is over. I think I owe her a big fat apology....But my nightmare seems prolonged, and it is starting to really get to me. I just want to know that he is home, that's all... however, it would be nice to see him and hang out with him for a while but I don't want to ask for too much.

I think of it this way, when you give, you should do it with a pure heart, and not expect anything in return. But I realize we are human and sometimes when someone doesn't react the way we think they should, we are disappointed. So I am a smidge sad today... But it will be alright, I have faith that God's Will will be done...

So I hope that you will forgive me that I didn't really post anything witty, funny or just plain silly. But it is what's on my heart today... I miss you all terribly and thanks to those of you who have emailed to check on me... The encouragement has been amazing!!

Much Love!!
