Two Letters in 2 days!

Feb 18, 2013

 

Hey yal, so this week has been terrible.... too much goodbyes and packin up memories....

Went to this guy David Curerros ranch and he showed us all his ww2 and nam trucks and let us start em and then we got to drive his airplane tug... sooo much fun!!! oh so the good news, I'm training again and getting transferred, so I won't know anything about the new area and I'll be training...... I foresee much stress in the coming weeks.

I got the package.... it was super nice! I love the cookies and the TIE! haha I wore it like 2 days straight! it was nice..... thank yal for everything!

So I'll be gone tomorrow and then I'll get a new guy on Thursday and back to work!

I'm gonna miss it all but oh well, Hollister's in good hands.

I'm sending a box home that has stuff I can't use here and isn't up to mission standards.

Well time to move on I guess. I'll tell ya all about this up coming crazy week next Monday.

Love yal!
