Sunday update

Hi all~

Thanks for praying us through this weekend. There's not a lot more news, but Nick seems to be keeping his distance, last I heard.

To continue from last Friday's entry... Breanna called the Marine base from my folks' house, but couldn't get much info--except that Nick was not in the brig. A call to the county sheriff's revealed he wasn't in any county jails, either. Bree was told that she'd have to wait until Monday to get any further details from the Marines about what transpired with Nick's discharge. I'm very upset that no one called to tell her of his release!

She and Cassidy finally got here sometime after 10 pm and she called the Oceanside police to report that he had made contact, in violation of the restraining order. Two cops arrived here in the middle of the night, asked lots of questions, and said they'd issue a warrant for him and circulate his picture to the other officers. But it's not like they were going to drop everything and go look for him. They mentioned at one point about their only being 12 officers--does that mean 12 on duty at any time? Or 12 altogether in the O'side police department? If it's the latter, then...crikey! That doesn't seem like much for a city this size.... But back to Bree, Cassidy, and Friday night.....

Cassidy doesn't seem to nurse very well at night, but she will take a bottle. So we got her to sleep soon after the officers left, and by 1 am we were all able to settle in and sleep. The baby woke up only once more before dawn, but didn't cry for too long. It was 10:30 am before Bree and Cassidy were up for the morning, and Bree felt much better for all the rest.

Breanna's phone rang mid-day from an unknown number while I was standing right there. She figured it was Nick; I said, "Don't answer!" She did, but he didn't say anything (assuming it was him). Bree gave a speech along the lines of "I know it's you... now quit calling me and go away." The rest of Saturday, he didn't call. I don't know about today. The girls went back to Christie's house last night and I only talked briefly with Bree this morning. So that's all I know about the situation.

Please keep us all in mind and pray for peace of mind. And pray that Bree will know how best to protect herself and the baby. I wish I could cloister them away somewhere, but that's not realistic. It's up to Breanna to be smart, alert, and cautious. I know God's with them, and I'm trying to trust. It is helpful to share these concerns with caring friends and family. Thank you......

Love,
