Private Edward

I just got Edward's address. He wants you guys to know that he's "well, tired, but optimistic." I am beyond excited to finally be in contact with him. I know that he would love to hear from all of you, so here's his address...

PVT Gimbel, Edward R.
E Company, 2-60th INF REGT, 193rd BCT BDE USATC and FJ
Bldg. 11000 Dixie Road
Fort Jackson, SC 29207-6100

(Put a circled 4 on the back of the envelope.)

I know he'll really appreciate your support. My Dad told me that it was more important for him to get letters while he was in Basic Training for only 2 months than while he was on his mission for two years. I'm sure it's because they are more isolated and there's less emotional and moral support.

Anyway, thanks guys!

Edward's Gone

...so Edward's gone off to basic. 2 months is going to suck again, but I think Edward's pretty amazing, and being trilingual will be extremely useful let alone cool. So I'm glad for our future, even if Edward (sans beard) is going to run around with a bunch of 19 year olds with M-16s.

Thanks everybody for the support. Love you all.
