	~Engagements and Weddings~ Rebekah became Mrs. Jesse on August 9th, 2003! It's been a long year for them, Jesse had been deployed to Iraq since January. Welcome home Jesse and many happy blissful wedding wishes to you guys! Warmest wishes to Ro and Jim on their engagement and good luck with their upcoming move. Huge congratulations to Jenn (jshjka) and Jason, who got married on Thurs, May 22, 2003! Best wishes to the both of you and Korbin from all of us at Dating a Military Man! Congrats to Elaine (ouwildchild) on her engagement to Matt last month.

	~Homecomings~ Congratulations to Atara (cl-aaj8) and Dan, who is just returning home from deployment to Iraq. You guys deserve some long awaited alone time together. We are all so happy for you! We are all so happy for Tricia (txmom3071) and her fiance Juan, who just arrived home from the dreaded 13 month tour in Korea. After over a year of separation, with only a brief mid-tour, they are finally together again and looking forward to getting married. Congratulations and Best Wishes! Congratulations to Jen (thinkinpositive) and her DB Bryon on their reunion! What a long haul, but well worth the anticipated ending to their separation.
