We just got back from our wedding / honeymoon. The night of our wedding we celebrated at the Hard Rock Cafe. It's our thing. We've been to a lot of them so far. It took me hours to get the bobby-pins and hairspray out of my hair. I realized I should have left it alone and wore the veil too.

Love and Marriage
This is my first entry as Mrs. Brandi Evans. It's weird giving up my last name. But it's shorter, and it's not so close to the beginning of the alphabet so I can stop being picked first for things. Oh thank heaven!

Burrow's Meet Evans'
January 15-26
Well Eric and I know we're going to get married. We don't know where or when yet, but we do know the parents should meet. The in-laws flew in to El Paso which is about an hour and a half away. Everyone is staying in a hotel since we only have a one room apartment. It's actually still very much a bachelor pad. He spent about 9 months here before I even arrived. A year is a LONG time to be apart! Wow I lost track didn't I?

Last Days as a Soldier
Nov 1st 2003
I haven't written in a while. I guess I have some explaining to do. Sometime in May I went in to see my doctor. They told me I have to go through a medical board and they would decide my fate as a soldier. From that day, until now has been a lot of depression and anxiety filled days. Not really just for me, but for all the soldiers that remain here. There aren't many of us. Maybe 5 now. There's no one left on base. The commissary is closed and the shoppette has hardly any food. Not to mention the terrible heat wave. AC's don't exist here. Shame has gone out the window as everyone has to hang out in the barracks in their underwear. it's unbearable. I know the rest of the unit has it worse. They're in Iraq now. I've only been there for 2 weeks total and not at once, and I can say it's pretty bad, and I don't just mean heat. I can't imagine what they're going through being there for a year almost. I guess that's where some of the depression comes in. We want to be there with them. It's why I signed up. I want/need to be soldier.

Berlin Again
May 24-26
Hey I got a new roommate... and I like her! She actually lived 4 doors down in Parker's room. But Parker plays the same songs over and over. Who wants to live with that? So invited her to my room. We get along pretty great!
After a whole lot of no free time and the serious lack of traveling done by the new guys I decided to take Briere, SGT Strickland and her 2 kiddos to Berlin. We have a holiday coming up anyway. Monaco could fill in for us seeing as how we've been covering for her for oh say... 2 years. pft.
