Hey little bro. I just thought I'd drop a quick note- see how you're doing. I'm keeping an eye on Haley for you, just as you asked. I hate to say this, but she seems quiet. She never wants to talk to me... it's almost like she's hiding something. I don't know... maybe I'm just looking too far into it. She probably just misses you.
I heard back from Chapel Hill today in the mail. Basketball training starts the 23rd of July. So now it's kind of a big rush to make sure everything's ready to go. Brooke, Alex and I are going to go look for an apartment next week when I have to go for my orientation to the school and the program. We're trying to get all the stuff in order for the apartment. How the hell did you ever pull it off? It seems like so much to get in order- Alex's stuff, a bed for the two of us, all the furniture. It seems impossible to pull off but it's going to be exciting!
I haven't seen your parents around at all much lately. How are they doing? Like the new house? Mom said she heard from Deb. I guess they like the new place. I don't know... it just seems so far away I guess.
I got another tattoo yesterday. She's really wearing off on me, that girl is. I never used to do out of the ordinary things like that until Brooke came along. I guess she's really changed me. I want to propose to her Nathan. But you know Brooke. She's going to think I'm doing it for all the wrong reasons. She's going to think it's about Alex. About going away to school and starting something new. I don't want her to feel that way, but I know she's going to. What am I supposed to do about it, man? How would you propose to Haley? Well, I hear Alex up crying in his crib and Brooke's at work right now, so I've gotta go take care of the little guy. Keep in touch and good luck bro.

P.S. Here's a picture Alex drew for you after I got him, he wanted to give it to "Uca Ay"

Hey, it's me again! I got your letters... it's great to hear from you. How was the field? Was it as dreaded as you thought it would be? Luke said he wrote to you. That's cool that you guys are keeping in touch. Don't you remember... three years ago, you guys weren't even speaking, you and I didn't even know each other then. It's kind of amazing how fast things change. Anyways, I was thinking. Karen's going to give me some time off before school starts. A week or two. I was hoping maybe I could come see you. If it's too much, I understand. I just thought maybe we could spend some time together before I'm swamped with school work.
Well, I didn't have much time but I thought I'd put the idea out there. I'm going to babysit Alex tonight. Brooke and Luke are going "out." I love you Nate.
Lots of Love, Your Wife

Hey Ma
Sorry I haven't had the chance to get back to you before now. I've been really busy. I'm having a good time. The guys are all great. We go out together every weekend and we usually get together and play cards at night. I don't have much time, but I just wanted to drop you a quick hello.
I'm glad to hear you and dad are enjoying the new house. Hope things are well between you two. I'll write again soon.
