Headed to Iraq...

Jim and Toni at their wedding reception

This is a post that I wish I wasn't having to do. My cousin, Jim Patrick, will be leaving to go to Iraq tomorrow. We have no idea where he will be when he gets there. Here, he was involved in transport. We all know that over in Iraq transport is the worst possible job you could have. We found out shortly after Thanksgiving that he would be leaving. At that time he was engaged to Toni. They really wanted to get married before he left so they moved their wedding up and were married on December 30, 2006. He left for his training on January 14th. Please keep Jim in your prayers. Pray for his peace, his safety, his alertness to everything around him, and his safe return to his beautiful, wonderful new wife. They dated for what seemed like forever and then were engaged for what seemed like forever again, and we are finally glad to welcome Toni into our family! Please be safe Jim and hurry home!
