Hey Sweet Girl!
I'm missing you like crazy. It's the reason I haven't written. Every time I think about you I become so distracted that it's hard to concentrate on anything else. But the truth is, I love you more than ever.
I've met some great people here, Hales. They're awesome. A couple of them are even in the same boat as we are, dealing with girlfriends and wives left behind. We go out on the weekend and play cards at night. This weekend we went to the beach. It was still kind of cool but we had a good time. I heard from Mom last week and I've gotten all of your letters. I haven't heard from anyone else though. How is everyone doing? Luke and Brooke and Alex? Karen and Uncle Keith?
Did you guys have a good time at Tim's party? You better have behaved yourself... as if I really have anything to worry about... haha!
I can't believe how much mail you and mom are sending me. It's amazing. Every time we have mail call I get like 10 envelopes. The guys are all jealous. Even their girls aren't sending as much as you! I read them the basics, just because they aren't getting news from their homes. But the stuff you say, most of it, I keep to myself. It's too special to share with them.
I'm going to be in the field again next week, so I won't be getting any of your mail. That's why you won't hear back from me. I do get a phone call on Sunday night before we leave the barracks. Keep your cell phone on you, even if you're working... it's your voice I want to hear. I want to know you're taking care of yourself. That you're holding up okay on your own.
Oh, and I paid the rent on the apartment. It's yours for another month- til the end of July. But we're going to have to talk about what to do with it then. Because you're going to be leaving for the dorms at Chapel Hill towards the end of August... do you want to keep the place for when we both get to make it home? I have enough money coming in to do that if you want to. We'll talk about it later though.
Love you Hales!

It's getting harder, Nate. I told myself to make the best of it. To just think of the end result, that we're going to be together again. But I can't help but think that it's forever away. I don't want you to regret doing this, because I know how much it means to you. (
I had so much fun with Alex last night... that boy is amazing. After Brooke and Lucas left he cried for like an hour. When he finally calmed down, he was fine. I took him to the playground then we walked to the Café and he had some ice cream. He makes me want one of my own. But we can't consider than now. It's not right and it wouldn't be fair to a baby, to have Mommy in one state and Daddy in another. Besides, you've still got a good chance of being transferred to another base. And I've got college... Just wishful thinking I guess.
Peyton and I had lunch together today. Things are going well with her and Jake. Have you heard from either of them? I doubt she's told you even if you have heard from her, but she's not going to go to NYU for art. She's going to go to the community college. So she can stay with Jake. It's still amazing that they stayed together and worked through everything even when he was gone for a year and a half. I guess true love can work through anything!
Well, I'm going to go to bed. This is me, kissing you. Hales.

Hey Nathan!
It's weird writing to you. I'm used to having you next door, just down the street. Oh well, you've been replaced. ( Jake took your place. Him and Jenny. He's moved in with me and Dad now. Bet ya didn't know that! Yeah, last week they moved in. Dad's back working most of the time, gone back to whatever he did before he found Karen. I'm kind of glad that didn't work out... I know he was happy with her, but it would have been weird, you, me and Lucas all being related? Too strange. How's the Army treating you? I bet you're really buffing up now. It's cool though. I'm watching over Haley for you, even though you didn't ask me to. Why the hell didn't you guys tell anyone you got married? I ran into her last night. Jake and I were at the park with Jenny. The ring is gorgeous by the way. You did right by her Nathan. You deserve someone like her. I know things haven't always been easy for you, but I think with Haley, that's the best! Congratulations! So, when are you two going to give me a neice? I've got Jenny to dress up, but she's getting too big to dress up. Jake signed her up for pre-K this week. She's pretty excited about that. I already told him I'm taking her shopping for her school clothes. Jake got himself a good job you know. He's working for Adelphia cable. The pay is awesome. We're hoping to get our own apartment in a few months, once we've both saved up some money. Well, I'm going to go play the little housewife and fix us some food. I'm sending you a picture of Jenny. Just something to make you remember everyone you've got back home! Write to me soon!
