Ok. It is now 6:45am on a beautiful Monday morning, the 14th of April 2003. I am dead tired! I haven't been to bed in the past 15 hours. And I probably won't be able to hit my rack until 10:00pm tonight! That SUCKS, don't you agree? Please pray for me. I am definitely going to need it today. Pray that I may have the strength and energy that I need today. Also, pray that I can grab a few winks to get me energized. The Lord knows I need it ;).

On the up side, I got to talk to Kendra, my mom, dad, bros, and Matt Taflan. The only thing is the phone line kept on dropping out on Matt and I's conversation. That sucked. I'm going to try to call him again when we pull inport somewhere.

Kendra had her bridal shower this past Saturday. We got a lot of gifts! Mostly bath towles. I guess when you can't think of anything to get for someone you get bath towels. You can never go wrong with bath towels :). I guess the shower turned out pretty good. About 50-60 people showed up. You know what? I think that there should be a groom shower, too. I mean, think about it, the woman gets two rings (engagement and wedding), two parties (bridal shower and bachlorete party) and they get two "e's" in their title (fiancEE vice the men's spelling - finacE). And all we men get is one ring and, on top of that, we lose everything we own. As soon as we say "I do" over 50% of everything you own goes directly to your spouse. I think, to even the odds, men should get an engagement big screen tv. It's only fair! I mean, for as much as I paid for Kendra's engagement ring, she could have got me a nice big screen tv. So, why doesn't that happen? Just wondering.

I really do hope that I can grab a nap sometime soon. I am going o be hurting today. WHOA!!!!! Sleep, sleep, sleep, and more sleep is what I need right now. Yes, sir. Sleep.

I'm going to get going now. I'll talk to you all soon. 29 more days and I'll be home!!!!!

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT: Despite what you've heard, you can never "cath up" on your sleep.
