So, this is me, driving home. I took this picture somewhere along New Mexico, near Elephant Butte. Yes I know it isn't said like Butt, but still, I wanted to mention it.
I had a good trip. Like I said before I went to see Kennedy and Kyler. Brittany wouldn't let me. Good thing I stopped by the police on the way there to state my intentions, because she had already phoned them letting them know I was coming. I brought along some of her things, which she asked me to get to her. The police officer was really nice to me, even gave me a case number for the report he filed on the incident. In it is the truth of what happened. Now, Kennedy and Kyler, I love you both very much, I would never do anything to hurt you. So when I heard that your mom insisted that Officer Barber, the officer who handled the case, check the boxes I left for her for something dangerous, I was hurt. I would never do anything dangerous to anything that would get near you. I would never do anything like that to harm anyone. I really thought your mom would know that too. I am sorry also, to Kennedy and Kyler, normally I would be trying to call, even if I never do get through to you, but I no longer have a number for you. Your mom has changed her number and has blocked it from my phone the one time she did call me. But I will get to you in other ways. Sending letters, emails and this is one way of me letting you know that I love you.
I am really happy, and grateful that my family is talking to me again. It makes life so much easier that you have a support system. So back to my trip.
I had Ceri clean my teeth. I think I hold the record for most visits, well most visits now that she knows what she is doing. And then after cleaning my teeth, she gave me a big bag of Airheads for the return trip home, are you securing future business for yourself Ceri? But really, thank you for the candy and the granola bars, I got home late Saturday evening, Sunday morning, and I had no food in the house, those granola bars kept me alive waiting for Monday and hence Grocery shopping.
I visited with Grandma Fox, we stayed up till 11:30 talking about things we missed since I have moved to South Carolina. The next day we went to a luncheon where I got to meet Grandma's friends. It was a great visit, and the food at the luncheon was great, chicken tortilla soup was the best.
For the most part I stayed at home, getting random things I would need, I was also able to check up on the Border Patrol, which I am planning on doing when I get out of the military. If you wouldn't mind I am going to be taking a test on the 21st of this month and I could use your prayers in doing well on it. Mom and Dad were the great, Mom even got me the most wonderful shirt in the world while I was there. Thank you Mom, I love it. I went running with Molly almost every day, she hated it, the running, I think she enjoyed my company, until I told her to get ready for the sprint we did at the end of each session. Brig and I went to church at the singles ward where I felt like a fish out of water, too old. Brig and I also were able to talk a lot, and he whoop'd on me at Wii Boxing.
On my way home I stopped by Mesa, and visited Grandma and Granddad Black. We talked, ate Panda Express, and watched the Phillie fans celebrate winning the World Series. They gave me some directions on how to get to back to the 10 and I was on my way back to South Carolina. Along the way my speedometer decided that it wanted to freak out. I swear I was not doing these speeds it says I was. It made it an interesting drive home. I would every once and a while time a mile and calculate my MPH to make sure I was going the speed limit. Which I got very good at near the end, calculating it, and keeping within the speed limit.
I swear, I couldn't even do this speed if I wanted to, but wait, this next one is better.
How is that even possible. Well I made it home safely. Thanks to all who helped me. I am grateful to know that I am still loved. For a while there I wasn't sure about it. I love you all. I love you Kennedy and Kyler, I am your father and I will always be there for you.
