8-8-08
Well, those of you who know me well already know who is writing this! This, in my opinion, is the perfect day of my lifetime! Being that me favorite number is 8, that makes this a pretty special day! I'm sure I won't see another one like it. I may have just a little OCD issue; or as the lady who called in on the morning show said, "I call it CDO, which is in alphabetical order-THE WAY IT SHOULD BE! I liked that! Since this is the day that the Lord hath made, I will rejoice and be glad in it!
I heard from Recruit Angelo Soriano. He is now in Camp Pendleton for a few weeks. He can see the ocean from his bunks but it was 115 degrees when he first got out there. He also got 6 shots that day-SORE! He says he can see huge ships out in the water right now and wonders if his Granddad was at that very place several decades back? I did ask Granddad and he said he thinks that is exactly where he was because he remembers seeing Marine recruits practicing through the fence. Funny how the world goes round! Ryan is loving it out there now. He's in the 20/100 Club- On his Physical fitness test he gets perfect scores- 20 Pull-Ups, 108 Crunches and then on to a 3 mile Run.! Sounds like fun to me! Not.
He loves the church service at Camp Pendleton because it is more personal. He learned that the Greek meaning of the work 'sin' is to miss the target. Interesting!
I love you Ryan! He wanted me to tell everyone that he can now receive anything (except food) lots of pictures, magazines, anything at all. And he loves hearing from everyone! Thanks for keeping him in your prayers! It means so much!!!
Love to all!
