if it wasnt for erika, things wouldnt be goin as well as they are. she is holding everything down back home. for instants, she is workin her regular job, which is alot of work, runnin buddha bellys, taken care of the house in the dalles, keepin our house in hood river clean, inside and out. the outside was my job and it took a bit of time. plus she takes care of everything in my life that i can not do.
people think that deployments are just on the soilders shoulders, but their wives, i think, have a harder job. we the soilders focus on our task at hands, but our wives, they have multiple jobs. They go and do everything for a year missing a complete half of themselves. Most of us would have a hard time being away from our spouse for a week, but think of them doin it for a whole year. Erika, you are the best wife i could have ever asked for. i think God for ALL he has us put through, it has gotten us ready for this moment in our lives and for the present and the long future together. This is for you, and how much i appreciate all you does and this doesnt even start to show how much i miss and love you Erika. so for everyone readin this, pray for erika and all the wives that are going through deployments without our wives support, deployments would be a lot rougher.
love you all

Wow babe, words cannot explain how special that was. Hopefully I can get it together here in a couple hours so this mascara streaked, puffy eyed basket case doesn't freak you out on skype tonight. I didn't think it was possible to miss you more, but I do. Love you!

God does work in wonderful ways and he truly blessed our family when you two became one!!! Which now you are totally united as one and it will be so terrific when you can finally be home together again. Erika is truly a wonderful and very special person and we feel blessed to call her "ours!" We love her like she was one of our own and she has been very brave and working hard at the home front keeping things going so it is so nice to see this tribute to her. She definately deserves it!!!
