i really didnt think this would happen ...

So tomorrow is the day i have been dreading for the last couple days ...

Since i've been home i have seen almost all of my friends and most importantly alot of my family ... i had the chance to hang out and party and enjoy my time home ... in fact a little too much ...

while partying with my friends that i have known since middle school and just seeing everyone having a good time ... a friend of a friend came up too me ... he simply said thank you ... i replied "no problem glad you could make it to the party" ... he said "no, thank you for allowing us to do this with out having to look over our shoulders" ... then he just walked away ... in theory i understand what he was saying, and it made me feel glad that people (as small as a percentage it is) think that way ...

the bad part to all of this is that i realized that i really miss my friends and family ... being in texas i was used to not seeing everyone ... being home i realized how much i really miss everyone ... not to mention that i met someone ... i have poor timing!! good news is she cant wait until i come home in june ...

speaking of that ... i am no longer doing a european tour for R&R ... my best girlfriend is getting married and promised (awhile ago) that i wouldnt miss her wedding for anything ... apprently she remembers that and being in iraq falls under anything ... this will also give me a chance to see family and friends and a certain someone that will be waiting ...

just sitting here with the family watching tv ... dreading getting on my flight to texas ... i wish i could just stay here and fly out of baltimore to iraq ... but i am on a countdown until next year ...

home sick and i havent even left yet ...............

buck up little camper! time has a way of standing still or going by way too fast. hopefully, the next few months will fly by. i personally want you to know that i understand the sacrifice that you and your fellow soldiers are making. i don't take that lightly. american soldiers have been steadfast and brave since our country began 230 years ago. please understand that people like me are not trying to undermine what you do- we are fighting so you have what you need to do your job. we are fighting so that yahoos like the ones currently in office do their job right so that you all are not having to clean up their messes. i don't agree with the iraq war- but we are there- so i am fighting for you and our veterens because you all are fighting in america's name and shouldn't have to fight for your basic needs. that doesn't mean that i lose sight of you guys and gals on the front lines and soon-to-be on the front lines.

I echo all that betmo says (she says it well) plus I send you a hug. Hang in there baby.
