Shanna-banana,
i hope he isn't there the whole 6 months because something radically lovely occurs so that the troops are no longer in danger and the iraqis have some sort of power over themselves so that they don't take it out on the soldiers, the vast majority of which don't want to be there and do want them to be free, so that we stop being an occupying force and get to bring some of our people home.

you're both in my thoughts, along with that whole region.

you can always count potatoes until he gets back, there are plenty of them out there.

i love you, and you know where to find me whenever you want anything.

p.s. i think if you go have a good talking to with georgie, Lance could be back by next week along with all the other soldiers.

a quote i just came across in my notebook treehugger February 25 2004, 23:04:09 UTC

"I suppose I'll just have to continue liberating the Iraqi people from their oil reserves, while at home people continue to drive their yellow hummers with their waving American flags on the window without a sense of irony." - a 24 yr. old reservist in a letter home

Why would anyone see the irony in that? We're over there because Saddam had WMD's, not for his oil. Silly reservist!

(please note the sarcasm)

I'm doing better today. Thanks for thinking of me!
love ya,
shanna

Its so sad isn't it. Everything will be okay though, and hes not going to die, He's not allowed so don't even think about it. Know that I'm thinking about you and loving you. I can't wait to see you, and of course beautiful Idaho and all the lovely potatoes. Only what? 4 more weeks!!!

Life is a bitch you just have to hold on tight and hope nothing swings you off to hard.
