Dear Family,
I am so happy to report GOOD NEWS!Rebecca just called from California. She wanted to send me a phone picture, but I don't have pictures on my phone. She told me to find someone who did. I knew she was wine tasting this weekend, so thought she must have some pretty sight to show me. I found David and after a couple of attemps with him looking at his phone and me not knowing what he was saying he started going ,"oh ho, oh ho - you are definately going to want to see this!" I finally got to see, and it was a picture of her hand with an engagement ring from Brandon! Woo Hoo! It just happened, they are still in the middle of a weekend celebration so I know they have not discussed details at all. Brandon is deployed again in October. Rebecca is deploying in January - so there are some pretty serious limitations for them.Ian finally was released from the ROTC and already is heading out to Boot Camp next Sunday! (7/13) I thought I was going to have him this summer - but looks like it will be a short one. I think he is glad he is no longer in 'limbo' but I also sense that he is not as excited about military life as he was - and knows the next year or so is going to be pretty rough. He is talking about missing his friends and family. THis is something for Ian as most of you know. He is not one for much sentimental commentary - though we all also know his true heart.I'm pretty emotional right now family. I love you all. I'm glad you are all out there to share with. I feel like I live on Pluto! I miss you all.Love,Meg
