i got my package from dad and mom today (thanks guys). i never thought i'd be so happy to see new razors. also, if you were timing how long it took to get here, there you go. speaking of mail, a few of you have asked for an address. here you go:
SSG Johnson, Stephen T.so back to the pseudo celebrating, it's the end of new years day and the most i've done is steal a bottle of welch's sparkling grape juice from the dining facility. it's not much, but i'll drink it and act like it's a big deal. i tried to eat the dark chocolate i got in the mail today, and managed to get a bite in before it was enough. i'll pass it out to my guys; they should enjoy it :)

FOB Salerno

anyway, i've got an early day tomorrow, and lots of boom, boom-ing to try sleeping through (the down side of being co-located with the artillery). one more night with a full moon lighting everything up...one more night wishing my roomates would shut up and turn the lights off...one more night hoping i don't wake up in the middle of the night having to go to the bathroom (it's a hike)...one more night, and so many more to go....
Grandpa and Grandma J called this evening. They asked if we had heard from you. I told them you called on Christmas day. I also told them what you posted on your blog December 30 and New Year's Day. They didn't realize how close the latest incident was to you. They were glad to hear that you're OK. Thanks for keeping us posted. Although we wish your circumstances were different, it's always good to hear how you're doing. We pray for you and your unit every day.
ReplyDeleteWow, reading your posts really make it seem closer to home. I think we hear about things happening over there, but it's so far away and we can't grasp what's going on...
ReplyDeleteSo, on to happier thoughts.... so how long does it take to get things over there and are there restrictions on what is sent? How did the candy not melt? I love dark chocolate by the way :)
