Christmas

It is becoming my favorite time of year. It is just so pleasant to see people be nice to each other just because. People go to church just because they listen to christmas music and might not even really understand the words, but there is a chance that an unsaved soul might join the big family. I have been in my unit for almost 2 mo and there are single soldiers and they are away from their families once again. It is honestly sad. I know how they feel though to be so far away and to miss the snow, the smells, and family. For instance at thanksgiving there was this one guy he was in tears all day because of missing his family and I talked to him for a little bit to let him know that I know how he feels, but to be away for Christmas to has got to be hard. I have been blessed Jeff will be joining me for Christmas and New Years. I think of these two soldiers they only talk about Christmas and its there favorite time of year and they are going to be away from home. My heart aches for these Soldiers, and for those Soldiers that are in Iraq for the second year in a row I really feel for, but at the same time is not a better time for us to reach and and let them know that we love them. So neways I went off on a tangent.. Jeff wont be starting school until the middle of january or beginnning of feb. So that pushes him back to july or august of arriving in Hawaii. I am so thankful for those of you in my sunday school class that sent the pkg I am so grateful it was nice to get a pkg from home and to see axels smiling face looking just like his daddy it makes me happy to know all of you care so much. I miss you guys. Its still weird not seeing you every sunday.. And oh volleyball players I will be so much better when i come home im gonna start playing in jan on a league..It was great getting to know everyone. The only thing is that I'm disappointed that I wasn't so willing until about 6 mo before we left. Its because I know when I move that I only have so long and I dont want to get close to anyone because its so hard to say bye.. I'm sry I didnt get to know each and everyone of you better. Oh the shopping here is great.. They have 2 huge malls.. Prince is adapting well he doesnt like geckos... He kills every1 of them. Not only that but he will do anything to stop it from moving that includes jumping on the bed and pretty much climbing the wall. Today I trimmed the back yard and he was laying in the pile of leaves and chasing the geckos.. the funniest thing ever. He keeps me busy very busy. Between work and prince I hardly have time to do anything.. Well I will try to figure out how to put pics on here of hawaii for all of you. God Bless and Good Night.
