Well folks the big day is here. It's 12:30 in the am...and I leave for boot in about 12 hours. I'll be home on December 17 so I'll get to be home for Christmas. I know that there's no one out there who reads this so I don't know why I bother even writing in it. Maybe it's just some place to get my thoughts instead of just letting them sit inside my head. I'm excited and nervous. I'm not worried about the physical or even the mental stress that I'll be put through; I'm just worried that something's gonna happen while I'm gone. Either something exciting and I'll miss it, or something that I coulda helped out with. Maybe I'm just bein' paranoid...I know I can't help everyone with all their problems...but I can always try right?
Everyone's coming to see me off tomorrow. Mom and Dad took the day off work, so did Erin(she worked on her day off so she could have tomorrow off), Midget's home from school, and Kelly's getting out early. Joey and Mikey stopped by around 7:30 last night to say bye. Saw Andre and Jess on Saturday. Hung out with Drew, Mikey, and Matty B. on Thursday night. I've gotten to see everyone I knew would miss me. Except my brother, but I'll see him when I get back. That's one thing I know I can count on. Saw Mr. and Mrs. G. too. I'd have to say that the biggest thing to happen during this whole past 2 week ordeal; today Dad said he was proud of me. I don't know, I guess I just don't remember hearing it enough from him. Course it's not like I've given him alot of opportunities to be proud of me. And if for no other reason I know I'll make it through boot just cause it'll make him proud. I'm gonna miss my family, and my friends; but there comes a time when you have to move on and do what's right for you. I know I'm not gonna lose any of them in anyways; but it's just a little tough known' that I'm not gonna be right near by. I'm not gonna be 2 minutes from Mikey's house, down the hill from Dre, not gonna get together with Joey and play hockey in the parking lot, or have band practice in Drew's basement. Makes ya just sit and think about it; everything that you've done, and all the things you will do.
Guess I'm just a little nervous ya know. Listen, ya'll take care of yourselves while I'm gone, and take care of each other for me alright? I love ya'll. Don't ever forget it.
