Lauren,
Can I just say how amazing it was to hear your voice?? I miss you so muchm, it is just unbearable!
So, pretty good day today, the phone call just topped it all off. However, Sochia's phone call might have been better than mine. He has been married for two years, and has two kids, but his wife is a native to Mexico, and her studetn visa was taken away right after they got married, so they've been living in Juarez, Mexico for quite some time (it has the highest murder rate in the world). She applied for a green card just before he left, but they usually take about 1 1/2 years to approve.
Well, just this week, Sochia talked to our First sergeant and JAG, and when he called his wife tonight, she told him her green card got approved, and she can/will come over tomorrow! She will even be able to make his graduation! Needless to say, he was quite excited, and I am extremely happy for him as well.
So other than that amazing phone call today, the rest of the day was just Meh. We had a locker check to prepare us for our evaluations on Tuesday, and I didn't do so well, mainly on just a bunch of small things, things which I shouldn't have messed up on. Needless to say, I'll have to go over it with a fine-tooth comb tomorrow.
Also, I discovered today just how perverted the guys in my dorm can be. One bay was having a discussion about porn, while my area talked about sex positions. I just blocked all of it out, and became intently focused on clipping strings. But that's what I mean about how a lot of the guys here are still boys, having a lot more growing up to do before anybody except themselves would consider them men.
I apologize that this letter will skip around, I've just got a lot on my mind. Missing church today was quite awful. That is the one time that I feel most at peace. I think it's mostly because it remind me of you and Westside back home. You really were a huge inspiration why I don't mind waking up early on a Sunday to go to church. As a teenager, I jsut saw it as something that caused me to be awake early on a Sunday. But just going with you truly helped me learn to connect on a much deeper lever, rather than just going for the sake of showing face. And going to a good church, such as Westside, has really helped as well. But missing church today made me feel as if I had skipped out on a date with you, and that was just heart-wrenching.
I can't wait to come back and be able to go back to Westside with you again. I also want to go to the zoo again, and go to Six Flags soon. I just want to be with you. I also will enjoy being able to take nice long afternoon naps once all this basic training is done!
You mean the world to me Lauren, please don't ever think otherwise. But I should het some sleep now. Bye!
Bailey
P.S. Enclosed is my "Easy Pay" card. It was one of the first things they gave us. It's how I paid for my haircuts, running shoes, and necessities. I figured you might enjoy it as a little souvenir!
