Heya Howard

First off, what is your e-mail address? I tried to send you an e-mail before, but I'm not sure whether you got it?
Anyhow, I thought I'd let you know how I got back into this whole thought process.
At one point, I was dating an American girl about my age. However, we started having problems because of the distance between us and everything else, so we ended up breaking up.
Well, the exact same weekend we broke up, I received the letter that I mentioned earlier, and I took that as a sign, and, well, the rest is history
That's how I got to where I am now 
Catch ya later, man
Nate
