So, I'm sitting here in front of this computer thinking, "Boy. I'm really tired." It's 5:24am this beautiful Sunday morning and I'm working. Well, actually I'm not working because I'm tying this :). In any case, I’ve been in my workspace sine 8pm last night... it's time for me to go! I'm not getting off until 7:30am, though. Oh, well. That's life in the military.

So, I've been taking this on-line HIST course through the University of Maryland. I've been in the class for 4 weeks. I'm doing well. So far, I'm "A"-cing the class. Praise God! I have few assignments to do today to finish up week 4. Then, tomorrow starts week 5. Yippee (sarcastically said).

Kendra is going to be here in about 12 days!!! I cannot wait!!! I'm getting more and more excited as each day passes. I love her so much. I'm so glad that the Lord has led me to her. There is absolutely no one else in the world that I would spend the rest of my life with. I really mean that. I am so blessed to have her in my life for as long as we live :). I love you Kendra!

I got church today. I'm going to be singing a special along with a friend of mine, Marcia Ellis. We're singing "Remember Me," by Mark Shultz. You have to hear this song if you haven't heard it yet. It is AWESOME!!!!

I'm going to make like a baby and head out! Peace!

It was so nice to hear from some of my friends in the comment section. Thanks.
I got to talk to Matt Taflan for a long while yesterday. That was awesome! I love talking to that guy. Every time I talk to him my spirits get lifted. I miss all my friends back home. I can't wait to get out of the Navy. It's going to be so great! 1 year and 8 months left! The way I look at it, though, is like this: I'm coming home on leave again in July. Once I come back to Japan from there I'll have, like, 11 months left. I CAN'T WAIT!

So, today was my day off and I slept through it. I had the midnight shift last night. I don't about any one else, but I absolutely HATE sleeping my day away. It sucks! You wake up and you feel like garbage. You didn't accomplish anything and most of your friends are winding down ready to end their day. It's horrible. Oh, well.

I have 2 1/2 days off in a row this weekend. I have half a day tomorrow, then Thanksgiving off, and Friday off. I have duty Saturday (meaning I have to stay on the ship for 24 hours... it's gay), and then I'm off Sunday. Yeah.

Kendra will be here in 16 days!!!!! YEEEEAAAAAHHHHH!!!! That's going to be so great.

I'm heading out. I got to get some sleep.

OHIO STATE LOST!!!!!!! That is so horrible!!!!! I'm so mad right now... ok... I'm not that mad. It still stinks, though. Bellaire lost also. That stinks. Good news is that the Steelers won! They beat the Browns! YEAH!! GO STEELERS!!!!

I am getting so pumped for my wife's visit this Christmas. She's coming on the 12th of Dec. I cannot wait!!! I miss her so much! 4 months is way too long to be away from your loved ones. It's almost over, though. Kendra will be over here before I know it :). Praise God.

So... does anyone actually read this anymore? I haven't seen a comment in here since a long time ago. Oh well.

I saw Elf the oter day (staring Will Ferrel). I liked it. I thought that it was pretty funny. It's more children oriented than anything. I guess that's why I liked it so much.

Well, not much else to report. I'm at work now. I better get going. PEACE!
