Bu...Sorry I haven't read/ commented in so long. But don't feel bad- you are in good company. As in, I hardly ever read anyone's blogs- I just gotta get my laptop fixed. <br /> I'm so glad you're coming home soon to visit and try not to get blown up anymore before then. That is always so scary to me- I can't imagine how it must feel to you!! <br /> I agree with your thoughts on Hunger Games and a movie. I will probably enjoy it more than you, as I am less critical of movies if they are clean, but it is hard to imagine how they will show Katniss's thought processes since it is all just her thinking. That is always a big challenge with movies, isn't it? I hope they do a good job- I loooved the book! I didn't know you hadn't read it yet!! I wonder what you would think of the other books.. hmm.. I will hold my thoughts until you have read them. <br /> As for you thought before on what you will be like when you get out of the army- I think it will take a little while to remember what is normal when you are not around a bunch of other 20-something kids that are all guys, but I think that you will remember the things you love and why you love them. I think going to church will be natural for you, especially if it's the Singles Branch and has cute girls!! You have always had a strong desire to be good and do what's right, and I'm sure being in the army has made that difficult. But we all know who you are- and that is a very good person who is still growing and becoming better- just like all of us. I love you and want you to know that we pray for your safety and prtection physically and spiritually every day. Love you lots!!- Mel<br />P.S. I think I will try to post again soon. This baby is due in 3 days, so I'd better get on it!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3837089802872507313.post-50214552337224175102011-09-08T21:58:57.770-05:002011-09-08T21:58:57.770-05:00Hi, Phillip!

Some things are hard for me to "get," in terms of being enthusiastic about them. <br />Most books aren't that way, but some very popular books have been like that.<br />Anyway, I understand your passion about the book/movie. I would feel the same way about something I really like. And with your interest in film making, it would be even harder. Kind of like me when I see terrible roses for sale, or no care for them in the store.<br />Glad you're going to be here soon! Do you have arrival and departure dates, at least in general? Can you call Megan and talk to her about flying out for your visit (with Sabriel)? She can't really afford it, but wants to come, and we want her to also. Maybe we could figure something out.<br />We are doing pretty okay. I like living at the Gables a bunch.<br />Take care, and keep your ammo dry!Noodlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11274274551059640467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3837089802872507313.post-80123936847731280032011-09-07T18:26:14.067-05:002011-09-07T18:26:14.067-05:00Hahaha, I haven't read the LONG part about the...Hahaha, I haven't read the LONG part about the movie because I gotta get some girls ready for bed, but it made me laugh seeing how much you have to say about it when the movie hasn't even come out yet! <br />So glad you read the book! I thought all the series was good, but the first book is always the best. You should read the rest though. <br />Keep trying NOT to die! I know people are excited to have you come home for a while. I REALLY would like to be there too, with our little Squish of a baby. Especially in the fall when it is so nice in Idaho!MegJillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04078178242033905135noreply@blogger.com
