Congratulations, Ray and Thyda!

Look who else got married this weekend! Ray was granted leave to fly from Pensacola to Great Lakes, IL to get married!! She will soon be sent to her next post at Norfolk, Va. Even before she left for basic training in April they had decided that as soon as it could possibly happen, they wanted to get married so that there would be a better chance that they could be stationed near each other during their next years of Navy service.

I guess they both cried buckets of tears today when they had to separate. It makes me cry to think about it. Now he needs to knuckle down, study hard, and do well so that he can be assigned to Norfolk in November. Thyda sent me this picture from her cell phone. I think they were in a cab on the way to the airport. I just want to hug them both.

What a beautiful couple! I wish them all the happiness in the world. Surely if we all pray real hard, they will end up stationed together.

Oh Jeanie, what a sweet picture! They look so happy. Matthew Guffey's parents think they are going to Newport News next, too. It will be sometime in November.

I would say those are two brave kids! And they surely do look happy! I am so glad for them -- and thankful that, once again, in the face of great obstacles, two young people chose MARRIAGE. It is something that God honors, and it can be an incredible blessing in their lives. (But I would cry buckets, too, over the separation. That is HARD!!!)
