On His Way to Iraq...

I'm sure you're still at work, as it is probably noon there. I am at the
library right now so I get internet. We're here until the morning, and I
have a nice little suite for the evening. I'm in Rota, and we're allowed
off base, but since I don't have a copy of my orders I can't get back on, so
I think I better stay here ;) Anyway, I love you, and there's a few beaches
here or something, I might go look at them, but it is 6 pm here and probably
get dark soon. I miss you soo much. This place has tons of Space-A flights
coming into it, so sometime after we're married we can probably fly here for
$20 each (not the best planes, but you can't beat the fares!) I miss you
soo much, and I can't wait to hear your voice, and especially to have you in
my arms and me in yours. I cannot wait to get back and marry you, and to
live in OUR home (even if we don't have one at that point, we can buy one!)
You are the greatest and I hope to be able to keep in touch with you all of
the time! ...I think I'm going to try to get on AIM, so we'll see in a couple
minutes.

Respectfully,
2LT Jonathan A. Blauvelt
