  • Well, it has been over 2 months since my last post, but i no longer have internet in my room and im not really supposed to be doing this at work, but im gonna risk it. The past 2 months have a been a lot of fun. My teenage years came to and end as i turned 20 and i have been having the most wonderful time ever w/ my girlfriend brittany. We have had some really fun times together at her house and even visited my family together in maryland for a few days. I had my wisdom teeth pulled, which went really well, and she came to jacksonville to be my nurse and take care of me. I was a really good patient tho. I am so blessed to have her as a part of my life and i love her very much and want to spend the rest of my life with her. The marines has been going okay, they are up and down on who and when is going to iraq, so i never really know. Work load is also off and on, but most of the time not too hard. I am also very excited about football season starting soon. I know everyone is already fearing the re-vamped cowboys roster this year and im hoping for a really great season. I have to hope for that after the orioles have fallen to beyond disappointing this season once again. This is about all for this entry ill try not to go another 2 months, but you never know. I am going home to md this weekend hit me up on the cell if you want to do something!

  •      Im sorry for not updating in awhile ladies and gents, but if by some crazy chance you do still check my site, you dont want to miss this one let me tell you. After much deliberation, my girlfriend(yea i know crazy right?), Brittany Griffin came to visit me this weekend in camp lejeune. It was a really awesome time. Friday was a more or less a rest and relax day, but then sat. i showed her my barracks room, around base and we had a sweet dinner at DQ. The stupid tv in the hotel wouldnt allow me to hook up my PS2 to play movies on and i had the genius idea of just bringing my 27' tv from my room, well besides the fact that is looked crazy suspicious taking a tv in and out of a hotel, it also was not the easiet thing ever and so it still sits in my car. We did watch Hitch on it sat. night and its still an awesome movie. Then sunday we went to church, haha "is this mrs. miller?", wow southern people can be crazy nosy at times "so how did you guys meet, i have got to hear this", well for those of you that dont know we met on the internet, so its always pretty funny when people ask. Then we went to the beach for awhile, it was insane how strong of a wind and current there was goin on. I kind of had to force Britt into the water, but once in it was a blast, not cold at all. Then we had a really romantic hot dog dinner in my car, it was awesome believe me. We went back to the hotel and swam in the pool for awhile. Well, i think that is my story for the weekend, sure there is more, but either i cant remember or choose not to share it, sorry folks. But yes i have been blessed with a truly amazing girl and im really happy and enjoyin life.
           PS. im taking leave from july 6th-18th, so i will be home to do whatever, so look me up and ill try to look you up for some fun times!!
        Ok im not gonna lie, we are really hot!

    she closed her eyes, but has a good smile and an awesome shirt!

    i dont remember this one? my first kiss?

    sry they are all sideways, just the way i uploaded them and im not doin it again.

  • ok ok, so seriously its not my fault that i havent updated in awhile, but i dont want to name names and all, lets just go w/ you cant blame me. anyway, to explain the comments in the last entry, it is quite funny actually.... well me, joe, justin, mrs. p, and jenna p. were just sittin around talking about this and that. then out of no where jenna just says "you look like a 10", imagine my surprise. I didnt know she thought like that about me, but she is too young for me, sry jenna. To do alittle recap on my life... 2 weeks ago i went home to maryland, it was a fun time. hung out w/ joe a lot, played sports, watched pav, phil, and ians unicycling skills on display in downtown annapolis, even spent one night w/ thomas john and lindsay. it was great to be home and get away from the marine corps life for 4 days!! After i came back from that i had 2 days of work, spent 1 day waitng in my room for my stuff from cali to come and got a new roommate, not too happy about the ladder one. im plotting ways to get rid of him now, ideas are welcome. Friday night i became a 5hrish quest to statesville north carolina, the home of brittany griffin, and let me tell it you was an amazing time. She has a really nice house and i even had my own room, purple bed sheets included. Friday we just chilled and recovered from the drive by watching a couple movies. Then sat. i schooled her in a game of bball! haha, then we went to this ghetto theartre and i think we were their only patrons the whole night and watched amityville horror in a theatre all alone. Sunday i went to her church, and had lunch w/ her fam and another one at red lobster which was crazy b/c i was being verbally assaulted by a 12 and 9 yr old, it was sweet. me this nearly 20yr old marine takin crap from kids, what is the world coming to... haha no im kidding it was fun messing around w/ them. Then i chilled at her house for awhile until i began the trip home which went well b/c it went by fast and i even managed 4hrs of sleep. to be honest i didnt really know how this weekend would work out since i met this girl online and i was going out there not knowing exactly what to expect, but wow im so incredibly glad and thankful to God that i did. So in conclusion it was an awesome time and im happy and im excited about what the future holds for me and me and her. Also im coming up to md this weekend for the aacs graduation, so if you want to do something let me know!!
