The Mailman Is My Best Friend

Today was a GREAT day!! Brian and I were at the mall getting a few last minute things before my bridal portraits tomorrow and my dad calls. He called to tell me that he got a letter from my lil bubba!! I was so excited to hear about Matt's letter that dad had to remind me to give him some time to get it out of the envelope..haha!! The thing that made me laugh the most is that he told my dad he gets 8 hours of sleep a night so he's not tired! HaHa! If you know my brother you know that kid doesn't know what 8 hours of sleep a night means if his life depended on it!! I called my mom to let her know my dad got a letter and she ecstatically tells me she got 2 letters!! I couldn't wait to get home and see if my mailbox had a great suprise in it for me and guess what?!...IT DID!! My brother was so greatful for all of my LONG letters!! He told me to keep them coming with lots of pictures!! He is doing well, but he says that he does miss home alot and it's hard being away from home. He also says that the airport is right by their base and he watched probably a hundred planes come and go a day and that makes it hard. He says he wishes he was on one of those planes home or that we were on one of the ones landing there. If you think about it please say a prayer for him that he would be encouraged and wouldn't be so home sick. Today was a GREAT day!!
