I'm quite depressed, knowing that you won't get this letter for quite some time. I can not tell you how amazing it was to hear you on the telephone, although I guess you were there :).
I want to start up mushy, so that I won't fall asleep before I get to write it (don't worry, I won't be TOO sappy).
When I get home, I want to have movie/date nights every night. I want to stay up later watching all those movies that we had on our "to-watch" list but couldn't get through before I left. I want to re-watch all the ones that we've absolutely loved. I want to go out and get our "traditional" Wendy's, Pizza Shuttle, Classic 50s Happy Hour slushies, and Freebirds (not all at once obviously), and just enjoy good food and fun movies. I miss being with you, even if it was just to hold your hand as we walked somewhere. How after you'd leave to head home for the night, how I could just catch the slight scent of whatever perfume (or, as you call it, "Body spray") you were wearing. I miss how you are always energetic and upbeat about everything, and how if you got super excited, you'd do a little jumping-up-and-down-dance. That always made me smile because I knew you were happy, which of course, made me happy.
You really do amaze me. You managed to bring out the side of me that I thought had been buried long ago during high school, traits about me that I'd grown to be ashamed of. But I've realized that this is me, and who I am. I was at breakfast this morning, and someone sat down after I had prayed, not having seen me do so, and just saw me eating. He got quite confused and asked "Fowler, why didn't you pray?" It made me feel great that everyone sees that side of me now. I hope that you'll be happy with the man they're making out of me, I think that you will be.
Now, for some less-sappy writing! We have our 4th week evaluations (these are the last ones before our "Finals" during our 7th week!). I should easily make the run, but the push-ups/sit-ups will be quite tough. But I am going to push myself until physically exhaust myself, then get up and do more.
Today was not the best "slow day" I've ever had. We had locker inspections, and I, along with 13 other wingmen, failed. On top of that, church here just can't compare with Westside. It's like, I like what he says, just not always how he says it.
OH! We get our blues on Wednesday! Those are our dress uniforms in case you were wondering. I can not wait! Every Sunday, I always see the Airmen in their blues with their civilian luggage, getting ready to leave, and seeing that just gives me so much hope!
Well, I should get some sleep before evals. I hope you had a good night, and I will talk to you soon!
