Now that I've been here for a few days things seem to be running a little bit smoother. I have developed a routine kind of and it looks like we are going to be done with training on the 18th and we'll fly out somewhere around the 22 give or take a few days. We are going to get the next two days (Thursday and Friday) off for thanksgiving, which is nice. some of the guys are going to families houses in the area and the rest of us that want are going to go to the mall for four house. I didn't volunteer to go to someones house because if I can't be with you than I think being around other people (other than family) will make me miss you even more. I think its going to probably be kind of a tough few days since we have off, which means I won't be busy. All the stuff that I have to do makes it easier because my mind is on other things. I miss you and can't wait to see you. I know its only been a few days and I not even out of the country yet, but I can't help but think about you back home petting Sampson. I love you so much!
