Stahlke Adoption

I'm really starting to miss home and I wish you guys would write to me so this isn't as hard but I also know you guys have other things to do.  Most of the time I'm not doing anything so I get too much time to think and that's like the bad part about all of this.  After Friday I have 6 weeks and I can go off of base for like 3 days.  I'm still not sure if I get to stay out all night or if I have to come back at night . . . .

And I got all of your guy's mail on the 21st and thanks to everyone who wrote me.  I love reading them and they really help me get through this.

To be continued . . .
