Lauren,
So, I was rather depressed yesterday, we had mail call, and no mail :(. BUT! Today at mail call, we got down to the last 6 letters, and I still had not gotten any mail, then BAM! 5 of the 6 letters were for Bailey, one from your mother, and 4 from you. They really did brighten my day, every time I read your letters, I get butterflies!
I'm sorry that your getting stressed about having to pay for school and classes this fall, but while you're down here visiting me, you are NOT allowed to spend any money, okay? Everything is on me (I really want to treat you to dinner/movies/theme parks/whatever we do, you definitely deserve it).
Kinda of a random, off-topic thought: I think on Friday/Saturday, when we go off base, I think I'm going to Best Buy and grabbing a gaming/school laptop for tech school. I'll need one for school anyway, so I figured "Hey, why not get one that plays games quite well while it's at it?" I think that I will also grab an Asus (just like yours). I hope that we will also be able to start doing Skype again once I'm at Tech school. (Yay for Skype Bingo!)
So how are you? Did you really have dinner with my mom? That makes me so happy that you get along with her (which I knew you would, but it's just nice to hear about it!) Do you happen to remember which of her friends it was that you ate dinner with? I would just like to know in case you did, but if not, oh well.
So, back to you being brokesies (In my defense, I'm not truly broke, I'm just going through one of those fun "why doesn't money fall off of trees" experiences like everybody does :-P). I wouldn't care if you were hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt, I would still take you as you are, no matter what your financial wealth/poverty will ever be. If it means I have to work hard manual labor everyday for the rest of my life to be with you, then so be it! As long as I'd get to talk and share my experience with you when I got off of work, then that is all I need.
So, now back to current events in Texas. I think I'm getting sick. Actually, I know I am. My throat's been killing me, and I've been coughing all day, but almost all of my flight has the sickness as well, so it's just another bonding experience for all of us.
So today was actually a fairly good day. We had upper body at P.T. and I realized that I'm still hurting in several places from the obstacle course yesterday, and I may have messed up my good knee just a bit. I'll just have to wait and see on that.
We have to take about 5 hours of classes today, and that was quite rough on us. I was head-bobbing my way through just the 2nd hour. The only really good way to wake up is to either drink some water, or stand up in the back of the class, which I hate to do.
So, a bit of sad news, midway through classes, Heckenbach got pulled out of class by our section supervisor, and by the time we got back to the dorm, he was walking out the door with his gear in hand, and was being recycled. We are now 41 of 48, we'll see where this ends.
I had to actually beat my face today for another trainee today because he was on a medical waiver. It's not nearly as bad when you're not the reason you/your flight messed up! We also got pulled into the dayroom this evening by Ssgt. Ramirez, and he told us that we've done a really good job this week despite some mistakes. It felt really great to hear that. We also joked around and laughed for about 20 minutes. It's always really nice to see his human side.
It was really nice to hear that my mom got my letter. She sent me another one this week, and I could tell that she hadn't gotten it yet. I was worried that it was lost.
Well, I suppose I should get some sleep: run day tomorrow! But, I will be thinking of those first few times I came over to your apartment, where you would make pamacakes for everybody that was over there (Your generosity really was one of the first things I noticed about you when I met you) Goonight!
Bailey
