Nothing waking up next to a life size doll of your girlfriend instead of your actual girlfriend. Complete with a death threat for her.

Happy anniversary to us.

I had the WEIRDEST dream last night, and I think it was one of those DREAM dreams, you know? Like you guys all have?

But how do I know for sure?

Hard to believe that this time next week Audrey and I will be celebrating our 3rd wedding anniversary. We have two beautiful kids, a wonderful home and I still love her with all my heart. I'm a pretty lucky guy.

So it seems like my Dreams have taken a turn for the absurd. While I'm glad that I'm no longer fighting my old squadmates since they're all dead, I'm not sure these... sims are actually going to be of any help finding the objective.

I know that these guys are only supposed to be simulation troops and not actual soldiers, but Jesus. They take incompetence to an entirely new level. It's like they've never been on a mission before. Or taken orders. Or actually managed to shoot something that wasn't a teammate.

I'd like to say I've made due with worse cadets and less intel, but I'm not sure that's even possible.

That's Epsilon? He's a real piece of work, I'll give you that, but at least he seems to know what he's doing. How the hell do you deal with the rest of these fucking idiots? And why are they calling you Church?

I ain't never been claustrophobic, but this morning I woke up feeling that way. I guess spending the night in the trunk of an abandoned car will do that to a person. Still ain't found anybody yet, it's just Beth and I out there. Girl wants her first drink, and we managed to find a bottle of Peach Schnapps at a country club we stumbled upon. Told her that her first drink wasn't going to be any damn Peach Schnapps, and so we headed back into the woods to this place I'd found with another one of our group before. It's an old moonshiner's place, reminded me of home in my dreams, and well we got into the shine.

Decent stuff, so I'm glad that Beth got a good first drink. In the end we burned it to the ground, a cleansing of my past or some meaningful bullshit like that. I'm glad, however, that I did get to share that with her.

Sorry if I was an ass this morning. I was a little hungover from the dreams. But we have some good shine and a bottle of Schnapps if you want to partake.
