Sitting in the USO in Philedelphia, PA waiting for my flight at 01:57 a.m. is quite boring when my flight doesnt leave until 06:45 a.m. I cannot believe that the airlines dont open until 04:30 a.m., it's so rediculous, it's an international airport and they are closed. HAH what is this world coming to. 6 days leave will be great. I cant wait to see Josh and Emilee and the kids. And of course My Parents. I really feel like I need a full body massage right now. So damn sore from the training we've been doing the last few months. Its almost as if we never get enough sleep or rest to help our bodies recover from the strain. Iraq will definitely be a new experience and a hard one too. I never imagined myself here especially at my age. Everyone thinks I look 12 because of how short and tiny I am. lets thank grandma for that, at 4ft8 she seems to be shrinking a few inches a year. Theres that joke again on how shes gonna disappear soon. And she thinks shes fat, I had to laugh when the doctor said she had not an ounce of body fat on her and that why herdiabetes wasout of wack..My fellow soldiersare interesting and by far are going to be a goodfamily for the next year or so. Its kinda strange how such a mixture can bond so well. Whats funny is that I'm in the Philly airport but have never actually been to Philedelphia before. Seems to be happening to me more than I relaize. I get to say I was in this such city or that one because I flew to the airport and so on. My nephew tried to pronounce my name a few day ago, it was garbly but cute. I cant wait til he calls me on the phone on accident. My brother has his hands full, its amazing what kids can do to you. He's so happy and content. Now I guess It's my turn to find something that makes me feel happy and content. Doesnt even have to be happy...just content. I guess I'll continue to explore my options for my future. I still would like to try and go JAG but I dont care about the rank. and the reserves will try and make a specialist out of me yet. It wasnt the rank that I went into the military for, it was the fact that I could make a difference and help people. Well I guess I'll continue that stream of thought another day, I'm gonna try to catch some shuteye before havig to fly almost 5 hrs to Salt Lake. End 02:15 a.m.
