Thank you all from the bottom of my heart! I know why I LOVE it here so much!!

Here is a sample email I got the other day from my little brother! Its enough to make me want to cry my eyes out and MAKES ME SOOO ANGRY also!!!

Hey Chrissy,
Yeah well I am so done with this hell hole. Yeah it sucks but i am so beyond caring anymore. I cannot complain anymore and no one can do anything for anyone around here. This place is horrible and it only gets worse by the day and i ma so looking forward to getting outta here some day. We dont even know when we are leaving now whatever though. SOrry I am just alittle disturbed by the complete lack of leadership right now. I will explain everything when I get home eventually one day.

Yeah we will have to wait for the tattoos too bad but we will do it. I dont know what I am going to get yet maybe a celtic cross on my forearm. I dont know yet. Me and Michelle are doing great as usual. We really wanna be back together now. You know I would only have 36 days left in country if we didnt get extended.

Well besides all the bad news I dont really have any good news. Oh I have gotten alot bigger in the gym since I have been here another goosd thing. Oh and i have also quit smoking which I am really proud of. I go through cravings like mad and i dont know how I am going to deal with the whole drinking thing but i have been real serious in the gym and I am loving the results I have been getting so I am determined to remain smoke free. Plus if I can quit over here then i can do anything. You know today was 145 degrees outside man is sucked. Oh well, I got to run chrissy. I miss you like crazy too I miss everyone and i wanna come home. A little bit longer though. Well I will talk to you soon. Love you and miss you.
Your crazy little bro.
Matt


We correspond through email because he gets it faster and can read a letter from me everyday. I like to think that it makes him a little happier to talk to someone from home everyday almost. I didn't edit his email ... we were supposed to get tattoos this summer when he came home... Michelle is his girlfriend of many years. uummm... I think everything else is self-explanatory.

(((HUGS)))) to you all!
