Justin Update


Well I wanted to update everyone and thank you for praying for my cousin Justin as he went through all of his training for the US Navy. He graduated from "boot camp" the Friday before Labour Day. Than he went to Texas for A-School for further training. While in Texas he met a girl who stole his heart. Her name is Heather and she is awesome. While he was home on leave Corben had the pleasure of performing their wedding. Justin than reported to Washington state where he will be stationed for the next two years. He than spent until the begining of March in classes training him even further for his job in the US Navy as a Master at Arms. He did however hurt his knee and is on light duty. So for the next two weeks his job is driving people around the base. He works 6 hours than has off 6 hours and so it goes for the next two weeks. Pearl can find Washington state on a map and tells us "Washington, Justin lives there". She also enjoys talking to both Justin and Heather via X-Box Live.

Great idea for the update. so often we pray and ask for prayer and then do not give updates and share the results.

I think Justin and Heather are doing great.

The first time Pearl attempted to talk to Justin on XBox she put the headset on, then she started shaking like when she got a seizure, and started screaming at the top of her lungs. Then she threw the headset off and ran away crying.

She really misses Justin. She has started to adapt and talks regularly to heather and justin on xbox, even though they do not always understand what she is saying.

Whenever she gets off she says Justin come home soon. and I feel bad realizing it might be awhile before Justin can come home.

I really like the fact that Pearl now asks to talk to heather by name.
