Day 19

Im afraid I dont know who he is Faith...and about your new yrs resolution...Out of those few you mentioned, focus on what you really want to do. The whole "do not fall in love" thing has got to go out the window. Just enjoy life everyday it comes along. Do the things that you couldnt do because you were trapped with someone for so long. Go out! Have fun! Ok, back to me :) My new yrs was ok. We actually had a few DJ's come out to the "Clamshell" up here in Bagram and we rocked the night away. Of course it wasnt as good as what Im used too, but it had to do haha. That was it for me. We go back to Kandahar on Monday and thats ok with me. This was a nice little short vacation away from Kandahar. Wasnt suppose to be but we only had to do 2 things here in the last 5 days so it was cool with me! lol Cant wait till tomorrow. Virginia Tech and Auburn play for the Sugar bowl and it outta be good. Of course I have to be up extra early to watch it (8pm central) and thats 530am in the morning here. It will be worth it. Ok, another day gone...only several left to go.

Got word that I will be heading to Shindand this coming Thursday and I also read this on yahoo a little while ago...pray for me. Never thought that I would EVER be in this predicament...
