Introduction

As the title says, this is my introduction. Similar as to what it says on the sidebar, I was born in San Diego, CA but grew up most of my life in Nampa, ID. But then I grew up (surprisingly fast actually), I enlisted for the Army when I was 17, completed basic training, moved to Fort Campbell, KY to be a part of the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) and shortly after got married to my beautiful wife Aundrea on May 10, 2013. This was all completed while I was only 18 years old. Yes you're probably thinking because I have heard it from so many people already, "You grew up way too fast, you need to live a little." But I am pretty happy on how my short life has turned out so far. I have a stable job, a beautiful wife. All in all I'm grateful for what I have. I am currently 19 and stuck in the mountains of Afghanistan for approximately 9 months, it could be longer, it could be shorter, who knows how the Army works nowadays. Right now it has only just begun, so I just have to be strong, mature and positive and this deployment is going to fly. I've told my wife the same thing because I know it's really hard for her as well. But she's a very intelligent woman and I know she is going to stay strong and do what I takes to make the deployment go by fast. Hopefully her school work helps her from worrying about me too much. I love my wife very much and I miss her like crazy and I know she feels the same. I can't wait till my unit is able to come home because when I finally touch down in the state again and be able to see Aundrea again...it will be the best day of my life.
