Third daily update! YEAHH BUDDDY! As you may have noticed in the date, I decided to skip to the next month, since have to get all the way to next October at least in the next 7 to 11 chapters. If you think I should do it differently tell me in a review.

Dear Randy,
Today the worst thing that could have happened to me happened. I got sick. It wouldn't be such a big deal if it wasn't snowing outside and if it didn't look so pretty. I love the snow. Snow is like the best thing ever! It's just a common cold and a sore throat. While everyone is having fun in the snow, I am stuck inside watching. I'm actually writing this letter by the window. There is a huge mountain of snow building in the park behind my apartment building. All I can hope is that I get well soon so I can join everyone else. Other than me being sick, Snow had to go to the vet yesterday because of a bug bite. It makes his skin itch and he started to make himself bleed because he kept scratching. He is now wearing a cone around his head. He looks so funny in it. He looks so upset though. I hate to see him that way. The vet said he can't take it off until the bug bite is healed. Poor baby.
Well anyway, I read your last letter. Are you really serious about me coming to visit you? I would actually love it. I've been to Germany before with my family. It was my high school graduation present. You told me about your family, and they sound amazing I would really love to hear more about them. If I ever meet them, I hope I don't embarrass myself. Wouldn't that just be like me? Embarrass myself in front of a military officer's family? Yeah, that sounds just about right. I went to your apartment like you told me too. I found the camera you told me you wanted. I'll send it soon. I didn't send it along with this because I found out that they currently weren't taking packages until tomorrow. I think it will be there the day of Christmas Eve. I'm not really sure. I'll send you photos of Christmas here. Remember the first day we met? I told you Christmas was my favorite holiday and it truly is. I love everything about it. I justly wish you were here to spend Christmas with me. This would be our first Christmas together. Even though I know it isn't possible, a girl can dream right?
Oh and one more amazing thing that happened is I discovered the magic of sparkly purple ink. You may have already noticed. I'm not sure if it was okay to spend 30 dollars on just sparkly gel pens. But what can I say? I love sparkle. When I was little, my favorite thing to do during Christmas was make cookies with my mom. I actually still do it. My mom knows that and she always stocks up on colored sugar. I just love that stuff because it sparkles. When I was younger I used to put so much of it on the cookies they used to come out way to sweet. I still can't help myself sometimes.
By the way as I write this I'm actually listening to rap? How did you ever get me to listen to this stuff? The thing that surprises me even more is that I like it. The first time you made me listen to it, I hated it. Now you actually made me a fan. What has the world come to? At least I chose a girl to listen to. Nikki Minaj's lyrics actually do make sense when you listen carefully. Not. You were totally wrong about that. Well I have to go. My sinuses are getting the best of me. I'm just going to go to bed and watch reruns of Gossip Girl.
Miss you all the time.
With Love,
Arianna
Randy smiled at the last part of the letter and shook his head. If she only knew that he thought about her nearly all the time. Randy once again put the letter inside the music box and stood up and stretched. It was time for his next shift. He walked out of dormitory and went to get his equipment. The smile on his face was not missed by John.
"Letter from Arianna?" John asked smirking.
"Wipe that smirk off your face John or I'll tell the guys about you crying in the middle of the pub." Randy responded. The smirk fell from John's lips.
"You wouldn't." John said walking after Randy.
"Try me."
Once again thank you to the people who reviewed: smash07 and Keeper of Oz :-D
