Joshua 1:9

We started a new blog called, STRONG and COURAGEOUS.  It's basically another chapter, if you will, of this blog... just one that the kids and Dale can update from time to time.  Letters to Daddy and basically our LIFE while daddy is gone.  The new blog started on July 11 - the day Daddy Dale left for his training before his 8 month deployment to Kuwait.  The blog title is from Daniella's favorite bible verse found in Joshua 1:9 - "Have I not commanded you?  Be strong and courageous.  Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your GOD will be with you wherever you go."

It's the beginning of our countdown for Dale's return to Guam.  Life without my hubby and without the kids daddy is just not normal!  We miss him a lot!  But we also support his decision to be where he is.  We pray that he will be a light to all that he comes in contact with... and that his talents will be used wisely!  We know that GOD has great things in store for him there... and that this time apart will pass quickly.  Skype will be our BEST way of communication while he is in Kuwait for the next 8 months.      He's currently training at Camp Pendleton in San Diego, California and we are currently hanging out in Florida, enjoying time with my parents and all the conveniences the mainland has to offer especially after island living for the last 2 years.  March 2011 is his approximate arrival back to us.  Daniella is hoping it will be before her 10th birthday on March 14th.

I'll make some updates of our summer on this blog soon!  It's been way too long!  So much has happened since finding out about Dale's deployment!
