USS Peleliu Is Home

May 23, 2007...The USS Peleliu (LHA-5) deployed on a four month humanitarian cruise. On board was my husband ABH3 Osborne, Michael and a few friends. On the deployment they stopped at several countries: Guam, Philippines, Vietnam, Papau New Guinea, Solomon Islands, and Marshall Islands. Where they help rebuild and paint school and children homes. The ship took 1,000 civilian doctors and dentist to assist those in need. Gave the local doctors medical supplies and taught personal hygiene to all the locals. They also stopped of in Hawaii twice. At the beginning and at the end of the deployment.

September 20, 2007...After enduring a long four month of water, foreign languages and costumes. They are finally home. A warm and friendly welcome back home was given. All the sailors are happy to be back to their semi-normal life styles. Where they can drive around, they don't have curfew and where everyone speaks English. Friends and families are so thankful and very happy to have the ones they love home ones more.

Passport...

Finally! Mike received his passport in the mail today; we only had to wait 2 months. So now it official, Mike will be flying to Costa Rica in 11 days. Its very thrilling! Four months is to long to be away from anyone you truly love.
I just want to think everyone that was praying that Mike would receive his passport. Thank You!

Blonde Joke

This is a dedicated blonde joke to my Mother, who oh so happens to be a blonde. I love you Mama!!

A blonde enters a store that sells curtains. She tells the salesman, "I would like to buy a pair of pink curtains."

The salesman assures her that they have a large selection of pink curtains. He shows her several patterns, but the blonde seems to have a hard time choosing.

Finally she selects a lovely pink floral print. The salesman then asks what size curtains she needs.

The blonde promptly replies, "Fifteen inches."

"Fifteen inches?" asked the salesman. "That sounds very small - what room are they for?"

The blonde tells him that they aren't for a room, but they are for her computer monitor.

The surprised salesman replies, "But miss, computers do not need curtains!"

The blond says, "Hellllooooooooo! I've got Windoooooows!"

September 11th

For many people September 11th is a very sad day. The people who died in the World Trade Centers, didn't even know what hit them till it was to late. Fireman and police officers and rescue teams, lost their lives trying to save the lives of people they didn't even know. Today is a day of sorrow and turmoil. A day of remembrance to those who died in the attack and for those who died serving their country & people. There are families who are mourning over their loved ones. Because today there is sadness and remembrance.

Even though, today is that day. It is a day of happiness. Today was my brothers 19th birthday, I'm thankful that he gets to be a year older and he gets to see more of the world. And today a new addition to the Osborne family was born. Mike's brother & his wife had their first baby today. A boy, 6lbs. 2 oz., born this morning at 8:01. Unfortunately, Mike's brother was not able to be there, for the birth of his baby boy. Just like so many other Americans, he is serving his country.

Today was the worse day of 2001. But out of the worse events in the world, always comes something beautiful. Evil is always overcomes by good!
