    Bob! So nice to hear from you! Andy has been one busy fella. During battle stations at BC, Morgan was the leader of the fire squad. Thinkin of all he's put Martin and I through these past few months, I kinda wish he would've chosen that area. I'm thrilled Teketa was able to join you to see Andy on the ship. I'm hoping we'll be able to see Morgan on one. He's set to deploy sometime April/May. His "wedding" date has been moved up to Nov. (prayer's being said on our side it won't take place. her side doesn't know it's taking place). Morgan seems to be doing ok, I can't always tell. He's not much of a talker on the phone. The desert in 29 Palms is home right now. He'll be there another week or two and back again in January for a month. Predeployment stuff starts after that. Not sure what all that entails, guess we'll find out. Is Ethan your youngest? Thanks for popping in to say 'hi'. It's always nice to hear from you. Please tell Teketa I said hello.

    Hello Bob. I am so sorry I haven't written back. This is the first time, in a very long time, that I have been on Navy Dad's. So...how was Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the New Year? I'm glad to hear Andy is doing well. Is he off again or still stateside? Quick update on Morgan. He and Ally got married Nov. 13th in a civil ceremony in California. I felt the Lord directed us to go, so we did. Ally moved to California middle of Dec. At this moment, he is in 29 Palms and has been since the first part of this month. He has been very, very bored. However, he did get to sew up a guys head for the first time. The HM1 asked him to assist, then he did one stitch and handed it over to Morgan. Morgan was scared to death because if he didn't do a good job the first time, they would have to redo it. He did it on the first try. Talked to him tonight and he's headed out in the morning to go out in the field for the last 5 days. Hopefully, he'll get to see some action. He will be deploying in the spring. His first. As a mom, it scares me but I've learned a lot and I know that the Lord can take care of him so much better than I ever could. We will be in CA to see him off. Please tell that lovely wife of yours I said hello!
