Johnny;
    Hey... sorry I haven't written to you yet. Writing just isn't my thing, you know? Me and Turner have sent a few letters back and forth, but his replies always seem so rushed and I don't really know what I'm supposed to say. I guess that's what war is like.

    Anyway, I just wanted to see how you were doing. And Finnegan, too. I worry about you guys a lot. It's been hell not being able to go over to your house all the time. I can only make small talk with Robyn for so long before that starts getting old. So I've started playing soccer at the field. It kind of takes my mind off things. So far, Bambi is the only one who's really given me any competition.
    But you really don't care about this kind of stuff, do you? Sorry if I'm boring you... but, like I said, I don't really know what to say. But I feel like I should say something. Ugh. I don't know any more...

    Ugh. The pizza guy is here, so I better go pay him and send this letter off. Miss you.

Julia,

Hey to you too. It's good to hear from you and I get what you mean with the whole writing thing. I'm not sure what to talk about with Coralee when we write either. Military life is surprisingly boring sometimes. Hectic but boring...

Finnegan and I are okay, for the most part, it can get really tiring here but you don't have to worry about us. Personally, I think you are in are in more trouble if you have to keep making small talk with Robyn, but you know how I feel about her and that situation. You're more welcome around our house than Robyn is. I think Finn and Turner will agree on that.

I'm surprised that you have any competition on the field at all and that some scout hasn't offered you a contract. You're just that damn good. You're definitely not boring me. I don't remember a time when you did Reading your letter is definitely a lot better than whatever the army has me doing.

Ah pizza. I'm jealous. We have...this gruel type thing. Miss you too.

Johnny;
    Since I'm not boring you, I suppose I'll just have to detail out everything I've done today.

    First, I woke up early and went for a run. Somehow I ended up at your house, so I figured I'd go inside just to see what Robyn was up to. Bad decision. I had to sit through half an hour of her going on about absolutely nothing. It's nice that she's trying to be nice, but that doesn't mean I want to be like a BFF. I think it's something in the water... everyone's been acting weird. I hope I'm not turning into some freaky Jules-zombie or anything.

    Anyway, after that, I told her I had to go to a hair appointment, which was a lie. But it got me out of there. Then I went to the park, but there wasn't anyone around for me to dominate, so I went home and played tennis on the Wii. After that, I was kind of thirsty, so I drank a pepsi.

    ...

    Wow. I just realized I have an incredibly dull life.

    Hopefully you'll all be home soon; everything's a lot more fun with guys around.

    Maybe I'll try to find Coralee. We're kind of in the same boat right now.

Julia
    PS; There was a guy down at the field the other day who watched me for a while before calling someone on his phone and then driving away in this big, expensive escalade. A scout, maybe? I've got my fingers crossed!

    PPS; The pizza wasn't that great. They gave me a ton of cheese and it was sick.

Julia,

Not surprising. When are you not at the house? I think Turner should give you a key, or maybe we'll give you Robyn's key when she moves out. Which hopefully will be sooner rather than later but I'm glad that she's at least trying to be nice to you.

Zombie-Jules huh? Well hopefully you won't be too much of a zombie by the time we get back. Oh that reminds me, are you going to be at the airport? Probably since your brother and Turner are coming back.

She believed that you had a hair appointment? I bet no one is at the park because they always lose against you.

Yeah, hopefully they won't push back the date we can go back. I doubt it since they want us to all get married.

I hope you do. Maybe it'll delay you two from turning into Zombie-Jules and Zombie-Coralee. I'll be very disappointed if my girlfriend turned undead while I was gone. You too of course.

Congrats on the possible scout. Don't forget us when you're all famous and have a movie named after you.

Johnny

P.S. Did you know some places used fake cheese?
