I would just like to sincerely thank you for making my husband's job so miserable, so mundane, and so ridiculous that he has chosen to go to college and live a normal life. He would have made a great career Marine...a great Drill Instructor...he would have continued on with his flawless SRB and great PFT scores...he would have gotten better at playing, not that he needs to because he's already amazing. However, the people over him are so insanely DUMB that he finally saw this was not the road he wanted to head down.
I saw a side of my husband over leave that I haven't seen in over a year. He was fun. He was HAVING fun. He wanted to DO things. It hasn't even been a week back at work and he hates life again.
So again, thank you for making him realize that he never wants to be like any of you or work with any of you ever again. I like my happy husband, not the miserable one you turn him into on a daily basis.
Sincerely,
A supportive Marine wife who can't wait for bigger and better things.

Eclectic Blessings
Last night, Cody & I had the privilege of having our dear friends over. Dawn & Clive adopted a little boy from Ethiopia last year. Dawn has this funny saying on her blog, "A Brit and Jamaican, living in Japan and adopting from Ethiopia". She has been one of the greatest friends I've had on this island, or anywhere else for that matter. I've been able to reflect on their adoption process, and the outcome is just more than I think Cody or I ever imagined.
After tuckering myself out last night playing with Yohannes (aka JoJo), laughing with Dawn, and Cody tiring himself out playing Rock Band with Clive, Cody and I talked about the little boy JoJo is becoming. He's opening up so much. He's laughing all the time. He is very much in love with his parents. He's quite smart...and knows when he's being funny. It's almost hard to think about a time when JoJo wasn't here. It's just so natural for them. I always knew Dawn was going to be the greatest mum, and getting to see it makes me a little teary.
JoJo is a blessing; there's no doubt about that. He's also helped us be thankful. It's been a hard ride for our dear friends, but seeing their determination and faith in God puts a lot of things into perspective, especially given the outcome.
Dawn, Clive & JoJo, we love you very much. I'm so glad we got to be a part of your lives. Here's to a great 2009 and rest of your lives.
