My sweet brother

I just got to talk to my sweet brother, Ethan! He leaves for deployment in about 8 hours, and we had a wonderful talk! I haven't seen him since May, and we're not sure when I'll see him again, as he'll be deployed for 6 months. I really miss him. You know, it's really NOT hard living here. I have all the comforts I need and things I want as well. But it's just hard NOT being there, at home sometimes. Especially during the holidays, and weddings, and deployments. :-( That's what's hard about living overseas. NOT being there. But I'm so thankful for things like Skype and cell phones that connect way across oceans and even on ships. Keep my sweet brother in your prayers as he deploys today. He'll go to a variety of diffferent places in East Asia, and then we're not sure where else, but maybe he'll end up close to east and northern Africa. Maybe I'll see him sooner than I thought! Who knows! I love you Ethan! Stay safe!
