Well, Christmas is over with, and I was quite pleased with it. I went over to Tina’s dad’s house and watched her little brother/sister open presents. That was really cute. They liked my present which was good. Afterwards we went to my moms house, and then to my dads to do our own present unwrapping. For gifts I received… My dad gave me an Epson Stylus C80 color ink-jet printer, my mom gave me clothes, Daniel gave me an optical laptop mouse, Eric gave me some clothes as well, and Charlene gave me a watch. Tina bought me a PlayStation 2, so I finally have one now. And Tina’s mom gave me a travel shave kit with cologne. I bought the following. Tina: Three Diamond white gold necklace, Daniel: a Gerber Legend (It’s a leatherman like thing.. pliers, knife, etc.. cost about $70.), Eric: Tommy Hilfiger cologne/aftershave kit, Mom: Crock pot/skillet combo thingie… Charlene: A little ‘pimp’ suit for her soon-to-be-here baby. Eric and Daniel are my brothers, and Charlene’s my sister for those who didn’t know… Tina’s little brother/sister received a dragon play set/art kit respectively.
As for my time here. I’ve been going around seeing a lot of my old time friends. I still need to go see the rest though. Time goes by so quickly… Nick called and said we needed to talk, but then hung up on me. I guess our friendship really didn’t mean anything if he can’t even talk to me. Joe told me that the reason he was pissed was because I bought stuff for myself instead of giving Aubree money… or something like that. Nobody seems to realize how much it cost me to get home back then, furnish and buy food for a house, and etc. And they’re mad that I bought Tina all this nice stuff now. Well, now I don’t have a car payment (All paid off…), no bills at all except school and since I’m enrolled in school… (For those who didn’t know, in a week and a half I’ll have a degree in “Applied Science” from the Community College of the Air Force.. 🙂 I don’t need to pay for my school loans yet. So right now I get to keep my entire paycheck. So yes, I have money now to buy nice stuff. If Aubree lasted more than a day with me, she would have nice stuff now too. But as it goes now…
Me and Aubree are now OFFICIALLY divorced. It’s over. Paid $120 for the papers, and I’ll be receiving the divorce certificates in the mail soon. And so that marriage is over with… and as for the new one. I’ll most likely be trying on marriage two in summer. While I haven’t ‘officially’ proposed to Tina yet, it’s basically a done deal. I told her I wanted this one to be perfect, so I’m going to buy a nice engagement ring and prob fly out to Rome or something. Don’t know exactly what yet. We’ll see when summer comes. At least I know she can stand to be with me for more than a week. And she is always reminding me how nice it is to be in love… and be loved in return, with no questions or fears. Something I haven’t been able to truly feel for a long time.
Well, I have five days left here. Daniel got so MCT (Marine Combat Training) on the first, and then he’ll be going to MOS school either at Ft. Leonard Wood (where I am now) or to some post in North Carolina, which I’m hoping for because there I can come visit him. I’ll keep you up to date on that as well.
Anyways, I’m going to get back to my ‘soon to be’ fiancé now. 🙂
Take care, and I’ll see you all later.
Matt
