Sex... love... uh oh's

ARMY's HOME!

I feel like crap today! Physically I mean, I'm doing just fine in my crazy head. This week has been good to me as far as that goes. I took Jamie's advice to "Fight", and believe me Jamie... I will win! I've been getting up early every day, getting ready, putting real clothes on, not sweats, and it definitely helps. Today though... well, i'll spare the details for you squeamish readers, but I didn't feel too good at all. I had an interview this morning and 10, so I got there at like 9:45, then the guy that interviewed me was a half hour late. Figures! It went really well, I think. My only downfall is that I can't speak spanish fluently. I have spanglish down to an artform, but that's about it. He said that he's "impressed" and my "attitude and experience intrigue" him. So I took that as a fairly good sign, and I'm crossing my fingers... and my toes, and my eyes, and everything else that can be crossed. haha! Then I came home feeling like crap and was trying to figure out what I could do to keep myself off the couch... so I check my e-mail and Army e-mailed me! That ALWAYS puts a smile on my face. So, of course my day got 150% better after that. He said that he is back in the states on leave for Christmas, then goes back to Iraq December 30th until sometime in February, then he goes back to Germany where he's stationed. I was so excited to hear that he's home for Christmas, not because I get to see him (I don't, he lives in Washington), but because I'm happy knowing he's safe and with family for the holiday. Here are some pieces of his e-mail:

Ok i know your busy and have other more interesting things to do than play internet tag with me but i was thinkin of you and just wanted to write to you. Actually i just got home on R&R and was about to go to bed when i saw some old letters you sent me in bootcamp that i had my mom put on my bed till i had a chance to come back home and organize everything and i re-read a Christmas card you sent me and that prompted me to go back down stairs and to sign on real quick to write you.

I hate that we have such a difficult time gettin together face to face. But when the time and opportunity arise, and if you're still interested then I'll find us a way to get together. Hey, be real with me...

Promise. . . . . . .?

Do you ever get tired of writing back and forth all the time and not been able to kick it once since we met? It's just something i needed to know. I know i'm kind of babbling on but your like my soulmate and a best friend to me so i feel comfortable just rambling to you.

How sweet is he? He's the most genuine person I've ever known. Anyway... just thought I'd share the reason why my day ended up being good. Goodnight!
