Please keep my neighbors, Juan and his wife Tessa in your thoughts and prayers. He deployed for a second tour (they actually went to Iraq together 2 years ago, before she got out.) this weekend. Tessa is 33 weeks pregnant with their second child, and is having a difficult time with the deployment. My heart is breaking for her, and for him, because he'll miss the birth of their daughter.

I will keep them in my prayers. There is nothing easy about deployment. It was hard enough having an infant when DH left, I couldn't imagine being pregnant!
