Okay Thank you thank you!

A lot of you have said that I can communicate with Josh over internet, I have Myspace, Yahoo, and MSN!! I have a mic hooked to the computer but we have no webcam, I will have to see about going and buying one. When Josh use to live with his parents before we got married we talked a lot on MSN and he always had an avitar of a skull and cross bones on one side it says "mess with the best" on the other said it says "die like the rest" thats starting to worry me now because of how Josh is one of the front men.

I don't know how else to keep busy, I have a job as a writer for the local paper but that job ends at noon everyday. Since I got pregnant Josh hasn't wanted me to clean or cook my own meals. He asked his best friend and my best friend to do it for me, Trisha and Kirt are a cute pair!!!

I am trying to stay strong, I haven't heard anything from Josh and I don't want to try and contact him because it will make him think that something is wrong and like most of you have said it will make him worry and not focus so I will not be trying to contact him I will wait till he contacts me. I am one of those girls who are quiet even when there is something wrong and I don't want Josh to hear the worry in my voice.

Necky...you are gonna make yourself crazy....stop it. Do not worry about his avatar and him being out front...really. Heck my husband's avi is STILL a skull with two daggers crossed through it that says "One Shot One Kill"...that was his job but he certainly does not do that at home. hahahahaha

My hubby did 4 full tours in the Middle East and was nearly finished with his 5th when he was hurt.

Focus on other things.

He and the both of you are in my prayers. God bless you at this time, may your prayers be heard, loud and clear from your lips to Gods ears.
Take care of yourself!

Hi Becky:

I was so touched by your post that I thought I would share--remember to pray for Josh, keep yourself healthy and beautiful for your baby and your man. Keep the faith and when you talk try to keep his spirits up. Give that man something to fight for and someone to believe in...love him and respect his choices--he is doing an honorable thing in defending his country whether we agree with the politics or not. As a Military dependent aboard Camp LeJeune--I learned to be strong, to have respect for our soldiers and their sacrifices and to find my own goals and direction to keep the family intact. God Bless you and Josh and the little one on the way...the Marine Corps is a family and we have your back--Semper Fi

I am standing in agreement with all on this forum (and anyone else) who are praying for your husband's protection. Stick close to Tailfeathers and Ruth- I think they have a wealth of wisdom and experience available to you. What a blessing this group is.

Becky,
I have a childhood friend whose husband is currently in Iraq as a chaplain's assistant. He shared with her that one of the biggest struggles he has noticed for himself and others is the open discussions of whether or not the gals back home are being faithful to their men. It is a huge distraction for them. When you talk and write to him, assure him of your love for him and faithfulness to him and then live it. He needs to know you will wait for him.

I prayed for you!!

I will never ever ever be unfaithful to my Josh. He means everything to me and more and I am not losing that. His friends are my friends nothing more. I sleep with his clothes on and with his picture all around me. I miss him reading to the baby at night, he would always lay down at the end of the bed rest his head next to the baby and talk to it and read it stories like the three little bears or little red ridding hood.

I love my husband and he knows I will always stay faithful to him. I am my Josh's hero and he is mine.

You have received so much good advice.

keep busy and healthy. If you are able to clean and cook then you should. Not cleaning and cooking may contribute to a feeling of being unable to care for yourself. It could go downhill from there.

Stay strong, stay healthy.
