BIG NEWS!

Christina called this week to tell me that Joseph has received his orders to report to Camp Pendleton (near San Diego, CA) in mid-October. They will be leaving Hawaii in mid-September. First they will check in at Camp Pendleton, then begin their drive to visit family in Missouri and Texas. I am thrilled that they will be on the mainland again! Now I'll be able to see them more often!  Joseph will be a Marine Corps instructor at Pendleton. That means he will not be deployed again!! He will spend his last four years at Pendleton before he retires from the military.
