I will be snapping photos left and right, and with any luck I will also get some video, so I will make sure to post what I can of every last detail... I know we all will be eating up ANYTHING we can view, right? :o) We are all so proud.
I will be taking lots of pictures. A few extra won't hurt :-)
I will try to remember for sure and I will message you if I do so you know!
Will do! I have been asking the same thing-my son is in the band and has played at the last 2 PIRs. I am stalking those sites trying to find his picture. I'll do my best!

Enjoy that letter .... and if you're anything like me you'll be reading it over and over and over again ...... gaining that much more peace about this new adventure for yourself and all of your family. Good nite and know that all of our kids, and their families are in my prayers. Donna

- Happy Monday Mariab and Family! I'm just reading your note to me from last nite ~ keep your chin up and try to get busy with something today ..... it was really easy for me in those early days when my son left because my daughter was expecting her first baby - and now she's here so that helps A LOT :) Also, writing to him even when I didn't know an address yet really helped .... like keeping him posted on the Saints and LSU was a life saver. He even asked before he left that we send him the sports page articles on Saints, Holy Cross and LSU. Not the entire section,but just cut out articles. That really keeps him going and feels like he is "in touch" just a little bit. His first letter told us that the schedule is hard and that he gets homesick "it comes in waves" but he also said he had made an awesome bunch of new friends and that they are "helping each other through it" ----- THAT was the best news I could have read from him. Touched my soul, you know? If you ever would like to talk don't hesitate to call my office at 985 307 0601 - in Destrehan. I work for the maritime ministry of the archdiocese of new orleans.
Blessings, Donna

- Hi Mariab :) Yes, Andrew did sound very well when we got to talk to him at length this past week. It was late afternoon when he called. He had about 30 minutes to talk he said. He said it's hard, but it's do - able! He said he really thought it would be more physical than it is and said there is a lot of study work. He even told me that he studies so much it makes him sick! You'd have to know him to get a kick out of that :) We didn't get a "real" letter from him until the end of the third week. You'll hear soon .... and when you do you will feel SO MUCH BETTER! Promise .....

Kim, Phil's Mom said… - Good morning MariaB and thanks for the words of encouragement. You will get your letter today, I can feel it, and when you do, your feet will be off the ground with joy. Don't worry, it's all about the US Post Office at this point. You take care and try to have a wonderful day. Kim
