Jen
Alexander
RebekahI wanted to let you readers know that it’s very possible that you may not hear from me for awhile, if ever again. You see, I fibbed (lie is such a strong word, and I refuse to use it) to my wife and told her that my leave began on Wednesday when I landed in Honolulu at about 10am. It didn’t. It began yesterday (Sunday) when I flew from Iraq, to Germany, then waited for a transport to take me to Japan where I caught a commercial flight into Honolulu. I landed about 45 minutes ago, grabbed my pack, and ran to the parking lot where my father-in-law put my Mustang. I’m now sitting outside the restaurant where my family and in-laws are eating, waiting for the signal from Jen’s father. Then I’m going to walk in and scare the ever-loving crap out of Jen and my kids (except Reed, who knows I’m coming). I fully expect for Jen to maim me in some way. I’m ready for it though. The entire island may be as risk when I go in there and she finds out I fibbed. Sorry about that. The entire island may also go deaf when Madeline screams at the sight of me. I’m apologizing in advance to anyone who lives here. So put your earplugs in and let’s boogie.
I’m going in! May God have mercy on my poor little Marine soul.
