Hey everybody. This is Tab's friend Carmen. I'm gonna be posting messages for her on here when she mails them to me. I will have her address posted in a couple of days so you can write to her or send her a care package. I already sent her one and she was very happy I did. I filled it full of junk food for her and her beloved peach-o's that she practically lived off of when I hung out with her. Well I have to go for now but check in soon for her address. She is doing very well down there by the way. Right now they are just doing briefings and getting used to the area.

I geuss there will only be one more entry from me. I never new time could fly by so fast. I'm really glad i had Shawn to be with. I leave on tuesday. I'm sure this is a journey that will forever change my life.

I'm also glad i got to go ice skating. A few of my friends and Shawn and Andrew came. It was really a lot of fun. I love ice skating.

Then I got to spend New Years with Shawn. You're so wonderful hun. I love you!

Yesterday what did i do yesterday. Oh yes, I remember family new years party. That was fun. Then Shawn and I went and ordered bread sticks at dominoes but they gave us cheesy bread instead so we went to pizza hut and got breadsticks,lol. Then rented 50 first dates, i love that movie.

Today I ate lunch at my Dads.He had to leave today so i had to say goodbye. I'm a person who's not really good at goodbyes. I hate saying goodbye.

Well heres the scoop. On tuesday I have to be dropped off in Lock Haven at 7am. Then we pack all our gear. Then they're putting us up somewhere and we leave the next morning. So everyones coming up to say goodbye.

Then i 'm really not sure what's happening. I think we'll be shipped to Washington and go to Mississippi from there were we'll train for 4-5 months at Camp Shelby. Then we go to Fort Irwin in Cali for a month of training. Then we get sent to somewhere in Iraq for a year. So that's all i really know. I hope between some of the training i get to come home for a couple weeks before we leave for Iraq.

Well I geuss I'll write my final entry tomorrow. I'm going to ask Shawn to update for me once in a while.

I love you Shawn. I'm gonna miss you so much hun.

Earlier that day I got woke up to bad news that i knew would eventually happen. I got my orders and I leave on tuesday. I geuss it wasn't a shock, I dunno it just didn't seem as real when i didn't have my orders.

Then Shawn and I ate rigatonnies at my Grandmas' yummy.

Today I geuss we're just chillen until later. Later a whole gang of us are suppost to go ice skating and i can't wait. I've been waiting to go ice skating since the last time i went which was a year and a half ago. I love ice skating. I hope everybody can come tonight.

Things have been kinda busy. Christmas was good, I got to see lots of my family. I liked going to the candlelight service on Christmas Eve. Thanx for going with me Shawn you made it even more wonderful.

I really don't have much time left. And now i'm sick. I really wish i wasn't sick, cuz i don't feel like doing anything.

I geuss i better start getting my stuff around, although my unit hasn't told me what to bring or told me anything besides that we might be leaving the 4th.

Yesterday Shawn and I drove to Clarion so i could turn in the keys to my apartment. I hope they give me my orders soon, so i don't have to pay another months rent that i'm not actually their.

I just want to go ice skating with Shawn. I think i've told him a zillion times, but i geuss i'll have to make that happen. I have the cutest little winter hat to wear and everything. I dunno iceskating is just so awesome, i love it.

Well i geuss thats all for now. Toodles

I geuss I need to start getting excited about Christmas. I mean this does have to be the best one ever since i really wont have one next year. I guess I should just bury my sadness and be happy. Theres plenty of time to be sad when i'm gone. I need to be happy to keep my sanity and the sanity of those around me lol.

Well today so far I got blood drawn, ouch,well it didn't really hurt but more than usual. So much to do later tonight, ahhh.

My Uncle Gerry's in Surgery he's deffinatly getting stints in his heart and if that doesn't work, they'r gonna do open hear surgery. I really hope they don't have to do open heart surgery. I feel so bad for him, a couple days before Christmas, I hope hes gonna be alright. I'm going to go visit him later. Pray for him everyone.

I also have to go to my Grandmas Christmas party. My old boss invited me so i geuss i should go. That will probally be fun I 'll get to see Angie and Jolenia, my buds.

Shawn and I were gonna go see a movie but i dunno how we're gonna have time for that today. I mean b/w what i have to do and what he has to do we might not have any time, but at least his Christmas break starts today, so i get to see him more I'm going to see him at 1 I can't wait.

Well my gas tanks almost on empty so i geuss i do have to fill it up. I'm not sure with what money exactly considering i just spent my last 5 bucks on burger king, but those cini minis are just so good.

Well I geuss that's all for today, prolly update tomorrow. Toodles.

Merry Christmas Everyone

I love you Shawn
