Its been a little more than a New York Minute.

Okay so I'm a little over two weeks from moving into Stephanie and I's amazing new apartment.
Granted the great looking furniture is not ours but we will build our life together..
Colorado Springs seems to be very nice town, tons
of things to do. But on a side note its not a very crowded city. We shall see where it goes.












Things have been pretty stressful with the
move and all, but everything seems to be coming together now. I'm also about to get myself a 2008 Mazda 3...this will be my largest purchase yet..Its amazing to see what I've become. And what we will become.

Final Months...

Just recently we have reached our year mark for this deployment, it's been a very hard deployment for Stephanie and I. But on a good note the first twelve months of this deployment went smoothly in regards to violence. Absolutely no attacks on our company whilst moving three times to different operation areas. We've been south of Baghdad, the rural countryside of Raminayah adjacent to the bustling city of Suwayrah. Then with a move after six months to COP Meade, our sector being Minari, Bayjia, and an old war torn AA complex. Which was part of Saddam's brutal AA circle completely surrounding Baghdad. After about five months we then moved to our current JJS, Sadiyah. Nestled perfectly in center city Baghdad about a 15 minute drive to the Green Zone and 10 min to the deadly Sadr City.

We still have about a month left here in Iraq...We are all very anxious to get home to our loved ones, Especially I... And yes if you look in the picture that is a classic red Mustang and yes it was in pristine condition. Anyway back to the point it is now mid April, this month signifies the anniversary of the fall of Saddam's Regime. So basically violence is up this month. Our platoon has been attacked now three times in about three weeks awesome right. The first being a basic small arms attack, the second being a grenade attack on myself and third squad while searching houses, and the third last night first squad was conducting a raid on a house and were attacked by a grenade and then shot upon by AQI forces apparently. Let me tell you they reacted well by pumping 300 rounds of machine gun fire into the house....A sight to see from previous experience...

Anyway in the next couple of months I'll be sitting in America for one whole month of leave....There's a lot to be done in the month of June. I plan on going to England to visit my mother, hopefully not alone, I plan on asking, and well who knows about July 4Th. Then there's a wedding somewhere in there. Its kinda overwhelming because I'm so used to a schedule sort of most of the time. Moving on. I'm so anxious to see Stephanie for more then two weeks. It's going to be so unreal what am I going to do with myself.


Next, Stephanie has been getting sort of overwhelmed lately which is respectable....Our Life is about to start..Who wouldn't be a little edgy. There are a lot of things on the plate in the next months or so. Moving to a whole new state, which isn't a big deal for me but its a huge step for Stephanie and I've got to give her time to warm up to the move. It's not everyday you wake up and headed in a new direction. I can only reassure her that things will work out. Yes they may have a few bumps in the road, but I've promised her and I can't break that promise. Moving on, with the move comes the apartment, the job and well the social life. Yea I've done this many times before but it's still exciting to me. It's like moving to a new school. New people, new environments, new everything. It's very very EXCITING. At least that's the way I see it. Hopefully I can show her that it's okay to be scared but to embrace it also..Like the first hill of a roller coaster. By far the biggest issue we have as of late is the movement of our stuff from point A to point B, because we are not married its our stuff is not located in all one area we have to move things to my dad's house. Which isn't really a problem just a hassle but it OH SO WORTH IT... COLORADO .........




I'd say we are very anxious and excited for the future...Yes it's taken a descent amount of time....To me she is well worth the wait...=This is my Dream Girl we are talking about. The person I'd do anything for....anything=....

12 months 365 days 8760 hours 525600 minutes 31536000 seconds

31,536,000 seconds and counting....

Each second have been the best seconds of my life, and the hardest. In each one of these seconds I've had to Love to deepest fibers of my soul. Also I've had to watch this love from afar, say good bye to this love time and time again. Slowly but surely i realize how real it is. Its possibly the best feeling in the world. We've made it a year, some say that's short but to me its a lifetime some much as we have found out can go on in a year. I'm watching a new president get elected and make history, I'm singlehandedly rebuilding a country with a few brothers of course. And I'm proud to say that while watching all this "i'm yours"

The "New" List

1. I want to experience and watch the world change and grow with you.
2. I want the farthest parts of the world under my feet with you.
3. (weird) I want to be the holder of your deepest darkest secrets.
4. I want you to be the holder of mine.
5. When i say i love you...believe me i mean it......................
6. hhaha = To put a bandaid on your scraped knee.
7. If i had only one wish before i died i would wish for one more chance to say hello then and ILY..
8. I want to kiss you in an airport
9. Again on a train platform, a bus platform, hanging out of a taxi, and walking along a river
10. in regards to number 8 and 9 then i want to follow you on to that mode of transportation rather then say goodbye.
11. I'm glad I can call you a friend
12. I want to experiement new food with you....
13. I'm going to call you the 9th wonder of the world. the other 8 havnt anything on you.
14. I want you
15. I'm going to love you until the day I die regardless the situation....never will i look at you and say youre not good enough for me....NEVER EVER!

So you can say today is a pretty good day. Ive given love I've felt love and I've felt pain a good pain all in the name of Stephanie...

And i cant wait for the next step...Its scary.....will you scream with me ; )


Love always Jason, yours

COLORADO!!!!!!!!!

So I've finally settled and decided what to do with myself...And in the awesome year of 2009 I reenlisted into the Army for another term of four years and that puts the end of my time and around 2013...Not to shabby..

Now this is a huge risk for me, as you all know its been quite awhile since I've written in this blog.. Well its been a tough few months but only a couple more to go. Back to the risk there's a large chance that i may go to Afghanistan.. Yes yes that's wild but that wont happen for a good year and a half and with a new boss and all (Obama). This could quite possibly be the last time i spend a yr plus in the Middle East.. THAT WOULD BE FANTASTIC.. on to Colorado

Ive been looking at Colorado and the post and it sounds great just we need i think.. Its away its a fresh start its new, and its different...The best things in life Come about right after change.. Whether you choose to embrace the change or reject it well i leave that up to you.. By i Highly suggest you embrace it because its going to get
harder and harder to take that step as the yrs move on.



That being said, It's very scary Stephanie and I have a plan yes but its still a little aways away. But its there so we have been thinking of it. And like myself thoughts are running A muck through out craniums. We are losing sleep over this maybe who knows. She's scared I'm Scared but its such a good feeling it reminds of what and why we live for it. It reminds you to smile and say "Damn I'm gonna do this" It reminds us to live while we still can. So All I can say is take my hand hold on tight, experience life, Bills, grocery shopping, Me doing dishes you can watch haha well I'll force you too at least. Cheap movies on a Tuesday night eating Chef Boyardee or however that's spelt. Favorite foods in the cabinets primed and ready to be swallowed whole. Calling home and saying things are great maybe just OK sometimes. But you'll have me to lean on if you'd like.. ALL I'm saying is don't be afraid to live. You are not alone in this I PROMISE....... Love always JGS.
