Cannery Assignment Today

This morning Justin and I had the opportunity to work at our dry pack cannery here in Bremerton. It was a great deal of fun. Justin could not work directly with the food because of Smokey but he was able to do other things. I went in and filled cans to be sealed. There were 4 of us doing packing and one sealer. They were shocked as we did over 200 cans and cleaned up in just about an hour. We did rice, red wheat, white wheat, sugar and flour. We look forward to being able to go back and do more.

Yesterday afternoon, Justin went to see his psychologist and they have decided that he will go into 7 East at the VA in Seattle after the fifth of October or so. I know that he decided then so that he would be able to celebrate our anniversary and my birthday. I am deeply concerned about him as the P.T.S.D. is getting worse. That is the hard part. He grinds his teeth at night and was fitted for a mouth guard at the dentist. We have to get some paper work done and together so that all is in place for the hospitalization. I do not know how long he will be there as he could be in for as short as 5 days or for 5 weeks or longer. I am very nervous about all of this but do not dare show anything to him or Michael. I guess I just have to put it in the Lords hands.

Our Sealing

We went to Los Angeles and San Diego for a planned vacation from August 18th to 25th. On the 20th (my mom's birthday) we went to San Diego to be sealed. We were joined by Bonnie, her daughter Cheryl, as well as Tony and Susan Vargas. We had such an amazing experience being able to be sealed together for time and all eternity.

Justin gave me a beautiful new ring for the sealing and had the date engraved on the inside of the ring. He also gave me a matching set of earrings and a beautiful watch as well. What a great husband do I have?
Once we came out, we were with our friends and our sealer came out. We were able to have our picture taken with him. Brother Vance was very gracious and posed with us for pictures.
