Well, it's been yet another year. Jessi would have been 12 this September. It hasn't gotten any easier to understand that she's gone, or why, but, as always, we just have to keep moving on. This past August 28th made the fourth anniversary of her death - Nici and her family released a bunch of balloons in Jessi's honor, which I'm sure she's still enjoying. Like me and Denise say, hopefully she's got my weekend pass ready, because I'll probably need it to visit.

Even after the year or more that it's been since we last updated this page, not too much has really changed. I'm currently in Cherry Point, NC awaiting deployment in January back to Iraq. They originally weren't planning on sending me back, but I guess thy finally got tired of hearing me complain, so they're gonna send me. Denise, unfortunately, stayed in California, but that's where she's comfortable, so I'm not going to complain too loudly about it.

Denise is busy working on the house, making all sorts of improvements to the kitchen, dining room, and bathrooms. Eventually I'll even get to see it! Myself, I went and bought a motorcycle so I've been busy trying to make Nici "comfortably wealthy" with my life insurance. Like I said - keep that weekend pass handy.

Oddly enough, I'm looking forward to deploying again. It's why I came back to my Marines - not to sit behind a desk. We'll just be out there for seven months (Only half as long as my little brother, Kjell, who's now a 2d Lieutenant in the Army up in Alaska - he gets back there again in May). I figure it's less dangerous to be there than the way I ride, so such is life.

Anyhow, I hope everyone out there is doing well. I know that the posts here are getting fewer and farther between, but I think that's to be expected. Y'all have a good one, and I'll try to keep you informed a little better in the future.
