Greetings from halfway across the world!
Well, A LOT has happened since my last email I sent out. All very good but sad at the same time. Amy was feeling sick and noticing some health changes the last two weeks and she looked into it, and well…she’s pregnant! The both of us are so excited but also got pretty sad too because we both knew that she would have to head back to the states. Right now is around 7 weeks; we even got to do an ultrasound before she took off. It was so amazing, definitely doing it in a combat hospital here in this country. The other night I helped Amy put her bags on a C-130 plane and we kissed goodbye on the plane. The aircrew was trying to figure out why two Marines were making out on their plane. Lol. Right now Amy is in Qatar, a small country neighboring Saudi Arabia. She is safe, staying on an Air Force Base with a lot of nice accommodations. She will be flying commercially from their to London, onto Charlotte and finally to Jacksonville, NC. As for me, well truthfully I am so lonely right now. My best friend had to go, and I miss seeing her beautiful smile every day. Amy and I have been side by side for the longest time and the distance is new to us; I am not fond of it. I am leaving next week to do my job, and all I can really say is…watch the news in about 2 weeks ok! We are working hard right now and the reality of war is hitting home more than ever. My interpreter is a very nice man, and we get along great. My friend in the Marines will also be by my side and he knows the local language. We appreciate everyone’s prayers and miss you guys soo much. Please pray for our baby and that Amy continues to stay healthy and get home safely. Thank you and we’ll be returning those prayers back to ya!
Love in Christ,
Neal
