 It just keeps getting colder and colder here.  Tonight it is about 40 degrees...thank goodness we just got out of the field, I though I was going to freeze. 

These have been really wierd times.  I feel like I should be with my family but can't because of my obligations with the military.  However, I've made some wonderful friends here that I can fall back on when times get bad.  Oh, mom, I did get your message today(friday) and I really wished I got to talk to you but things have been crazy here.

The funeral went real well and it's going to take time to get over it.  I just wish I could be around jennifer, chris, and joel during this time.  Oh, dad we put together a slide show/DVD for the viewing and added some photos of our family in vilonia when i was a baby i'll try to add it to the message.  If you give me a address i can mail you a DVD.  I'm really glad that everything was resloved between you guys.  That means a lot to me that you guys were willing to do that for us and I love you and am looking forward to seeing you when I save up enough.  Oh, Chris and Olivia, and of course Andrew are thinking about moving to Conway.  Chris said that now that mom is gone there isn't really any reason for him to be in Oxford(espacially when his friends and family live in Arkansas).  Thats another reason I'm glad that everybody started getting along...we have Chris and Joel now.  I could do without andrew right now though...his diaper leaked on me.  Well, I guess thats enough of an update on my life.

Life in Maryland

I'm currently living in Aberdeen Maryland on the northern part of the Cheasapeake Bay for military training.  It's not to bad just really boring classes and long hours!  However, it is really beautiful here!  The army post looks like a wildlife refuge and there are deer, turkey, and groundhogs all over the place.  When I leave my apartment at 5:30 in the morning I alway see a few deer out side eating(thats the only good thing about having to get up that early).  I was going to go Kayaking in the bay again today but it started raining.  There are tons of places to fish here in the bay or in the ocean and Claudia would have a blast out here with all the fish.  I feel kind of silly creating an online diary but it seems to be the best way to keep in touch with people.  Now i'm going to try to figure out how to post pictures on the site.  If you see this and see no pictures then that just shows you that my mom is better with technology then I am...oh well.
