You asked for my view on the email? Here it is... I an with Mike... it's nothing....; he's tired of being on the ship. He was happier had a better time(?) on the last ship. Maybe because there was more duties based on his promotion on this tour. It's about the ship... that's all.
The no appetite thing could be a number of reasons... mainly because he is coming home to a difficult situation.
Now this is my opinion and only that.... are you going to let him stay at your house and then take off to the other place? Personally, I could not do that. Now, I want to say that I know you and I are both with the Bob and Charlene but remember she didn't deal with him returning to house and seeing OW so I want you to really pray on that. I don't think that part is standing. I don't think that is disrespectfull to expect him to respect you and treat you with dignity, which would mean honoring you by not having the cake and eating it too. Oh it's so frustrating to type what I am trying to say. There's a difference between standing for our marriages and letting them cake eat... which you know my H did for some time until I put an end to it. I stood but I had boundaries. If there was a third party we weren't working on our marriage... (that was unspoken for the most part) If my H chose to be with OW then I would stand from afar with boundaries and be pleasant, peaceful, respectful, and let him see the changes but he could not live in both worlds.
I know every situation is different. I am so thankful that he has/will return safely and that is worthy of all your praise right now. That's foremost. If you want to talk more get in touch in alternate uni and I can call ya if ya want.
I loved the homecomings ... just watching everyones faces and the sailors/or soldiers are just so manly looking with all that uniform stuff on..... yummy!
I love you Sister and will be praying for you very much over the weekend.

SMW - I can't stand it! I can't help but be nervous excited for you! GOSH, I hope you feel all of our well wishes and HOPE! I bet you look FAB!
I thought of you today at my S12's chapel service at school, and was almost sobbing. They were singing that song...
o/~ "I went to the enemy's camp, and I took back what he stole from me...."
I was picturing you meeting that boat, and this miserably disfigured female face was there, pleading to get closer... And, you pushed her rear right in the water! (Sorry, that's more MB like than SMW like!) I think the enemy is as ugly as that disfigured face! Oh, and did I mention? You looked FAB!!! Glowing from the inside to make you a vision of welcome!

After many years w/my head in the sand... I FILED Divorced 6/2011
The average woman would rather have beauty than brains, because the average man can see better than he can think.
We are down under 12 hours until I see my DH again. The ship will be pierside at 10am. The kids and I are leaving for the pier between 7 and 8. I don't want them to miss a single minute if we can help it!
The house is essentially clean. I am doing a couple last minute loads of laundry and picking up the kitchen. I will run the vacuum before we leave in the morning.
I am doing great. I am remarkably calm and at peace. God is in control and I am more than content to let him be. I am shrouded in love and prayers, both here and in RL. A close friend who works at CBN had me prayed for there this morning, too.
I will text Amy, ST, and Greek when I get a chance tomorrow and hopefully one of them will be able to jump in and put an update on my sitch. I do not think I will get a chance to do so before Monday.
I got my nails done today--a gorgeous burgundy-red called "I am not really a waitress." They look great! The red peeking out of my new, white, slingback, peep-toe shoes will look amazing tomorrow. I also treated all for the girls to manicures, too, so everyone has pretty nails for when Daddy gets home.
The Air Wing landed this afternoon. Jets were flying overhead for the better part of four hours today. My heart was so full of love and pride to see them coming home. Freedom isn't free, but it sure is a beautiful sight to see!
My mom told me today that she is proud of me for taking a stand for my marriage. She supports me 100% and told me she hopes to NOT hear from me before church on Sunday.
Keep the prayers coming! I love you guys and thank you for being my friends and seeing me through all of this.
Living God's blessings with grace and dignity~ SMW

Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. I Corinthians 13:7
It's two hours after the ship should have arrived. I'm praying hard for you sister.
Heavenly Father, Lord God most high, I come to you today asking for you to convict Laura's DH in his homecoming. Scream your love and Mercy into his heart and open his eyes that he might see your Grace and Mercy glowing through Laura's eyes. Soften his heart to his family Lord, and guide him gently back to You and his family. In Jesus' precious name, Amen.
