I always wondered if the day would come that I was so ecstatically happy it would be almost like a dream or fairytale. My beautiful girlfriend Kristen has a new job that she is psyched about because it will help her to come see me when I cant be with her. She is everything I could ever ask for in someone and she makes me feel like I am special and I love that about her. MUAH!!! Today is an amazing day for me because I dont feel any stress that I have been feeling lately around my shoulders.. I dont know what did it but I am so glad that it is gone because it was depressing in a way to feel so much stress that you cant focus on things that you want to.. Its such a nice day out today I am totally psyched about being out in the sun, I worked slowly today just so that I could be out in the sun a little longer before our next GQ. We got tested in 2 more man overboards this morning which was alot of fun because we were so psyched up for some reason. It was great that we were all working together to make things happen. After the drills were over. Lunch was postponed due to a GQ but it was a mainspace fire drill so we were actually a little bored on the bridge. I was learning about plotting for the ship so that if necessary I could take over and keep comms between our repair lockers and CCS. Its pretty confusing sometimes especially when you cant hear. lol Todays words of the day are Descending and Transparent. I could go for some serious chinese food right now, I am craving it for some reason.. which is weird because today they are serving burgers.. oh well. I hope that nothing takes me off this high that I feel... I have an hour and a half watch tonight and then I have the 3 am to 6 am so I might be able to slip in a few hours of sleep. Sleep is good... sleep is very very good.

As far as the other stuff, I love learning about your ship stuff, eventhough i feel so dumb when you start talking about it. I cannot wait till you teach me all about it.
Have a great day baby, you make mine better everyday. Now go get lots of sleep.
PS- I listened to your msg at work again.
