I get on the plane today. Last night was my last night at the Hospitality House. I was worried about saying goodbye to everyone, but it's not that bad. I'm not saying I'm not going to miss everyone, because I will. It's just that I feel the relationships I've nurtured over the past four and half years are ones that will continue to grow. It's not the end.
"May the Lord watch between me and thee while we are absent, one from another."
Genesis 31:49

Philipians 1:3,4
3Every time you cross my mind, I break out in exclamations of thanks to God. 4Each exclamation is a trigger to prayer. I find myself praying for you with a glad heart.
3 John 13,14
13I have a lot more things to tell you, but I'd rather not use pen and ink. 14I hope to be there soon in person and have a heart-to-heart talk.
I thought I would add this here to let all who read here of, how I feel about Currt-Dawg:
One of our best friends is leaving Misawa tomorrow, Curtis W. Sutton. I've said it before and I'll say it again, one of the hardest things about military life is having to say goodbye so often to those you care about.
Curtis, affectionately known as Currt-Dawg, has been in Misawa for 4 and a half years and has left quite an impression. As for me, he has shown me what it means to be a friend and has truly been "a friend [who] loves at all times." Proverbs 17:17 has so much significance in our relationship and his life. For one, it represents his creativity in which he coined PQ2, a code for Proverbs 17:17. PQ2 was a time at his house to fellowship and strengthen relationships. Curtis welcomed people at his house so many times and at any hour. He excels and thrives at building relationships and in my opinion, relationships are what our world revolves around. He has a way of making everyone feel accepted and special.
Curtis is the most accepting person I have ever met. I have told Curtis things that I've never told anyone except Trish because he is a great listener, always understanding, and never condemning. He is open in his communication and always open minded. He thinks the best about others, does not pass judgment, finds good in people, and loves everyone. This makes Curtis someone everyone loves to be around. He has so many friends who adore him and his charismatic ways. Plain and simple, he is COOL! He is a trend setter (first blogger I knew), fashionable, knowledgeable about many areas, and a connoisseur of many things.
I will miss our times at the Onsen (hot springs); snowboarding trips and other travels; watching movies at his hip, cozy house; lunches at the E-club; and conversations about anything and everything.
Life in Misawa will never be the same. Curtis we love you.
