It has been raining here for two days and everything is a mess
I will take some pictures tomorrow to so you my pain

hello

sorry to keep you in the dark but my internet has been down.

so up to date info here.....i have a pass coming up soon
i get to get out of here for a little bit and have a few beers and just relax
always a good thing

i want to thank everybody that ha s been sending packages....its the little touches of
home that is different with each and every box that helps the days go by over here.

if you could see the faces of the soldiers over here when we receive packages you would
see how worth it that it really is
the mail truck comes up the yard and everyone is suddenly all around
maybe i'll take some video or a pic one day and post it so everybody can see
anyways THANKS to everyone
for some reason though everyone knows i am sort of a health buff and i receive alot of junkfood
no complaints here but i think i've eaten more sweets in the last 4 months than i have in the past
2 years....trust me i love every bite

so thanxgiving past and it was like every other day
we did have lots to eat though and it almost was good...better than most days
so happy late thanksgiving to everyone

its still been raining and i still hate the rainy season....if you can imagine chocolate melted
everywhere after the rain....that is the best description i think i can give.
it stick to everything and almost looks like you could eat it

so i'm still taking it day by day and xmas is creeping up
take care everyone
and heres another pic

its actually the camera...thanks josh
