Operation: Final Farewell was not much of a huge success.

sure i had fun, and spent some quality time with the family. but that time felt way too short. also my laptop finally crapped out on me. total lose; all my music, pictures, videos, programs....all gone. forever. i was (and still am) royally PISSED.

anyway finally hung with Joe and Steph on Saturday. went to Meijer, caused mayhem as usual. played some Guitar Hero too.
also Saturday me and MB went to a couple bars. i pretty much got hammered! it was awesome. i felt a little woozy the next morning, but got over it.

it snowed hard friday, so me and Steven and Dave were outside building a snow fort. it looks pretty good! we never really finished it though; got too cold. sunday it snowed a little too so we were back out there in the snow. it was bitter cold later that evening. i thought my flight would be canceled! but it was only delayed 30 minutes. something like -10!

so now we leave for deployment the 20th. it might be cut down to a 4 monther, but thats just a rumor for now. we should know whats up by friday.

i got all my deployment shopping done. spent like 500 bucks total! but i needed all that stuff. got my tax return the 8th, so that covered all the expenses. just got to call the car insurance and get a deployment suspension on it. then its long-term parking for the truck, and im 100% ready to make some big bucks!!

its pouring rain right now. and that sucks.
