Thank you so much my friend ((((((HUGS))))))) You know, it's easier said than done, "Plan for the worst, expect the best". I never really expected to be so down about it, but it's almost like an "adrenaline vacuum". LOL I supposed it would like getting the winning lottery numbers for a million dollars, only to find out that there were 2000 other winners with the same numbers. "OOOOOOOOOHHHHH.......oh!" dang! LOL Yeah, maybe today...will I sound like a cynic if I say, "but probably not....." :-)

My boyfriend told his mom on the phone yesterday that he had received a ton of my letters! But he hadn't by the time he got to send his.

Awww. That's wonderful news! When my son wrote on the 27th, he'd received several letters from me. By the next day, he'd received another from me and 7 from his girlfriend. LOL So yeah, they seem to build up or something, don't they? I do know this, his heart was overjoyed that he wasn't away from us and forgotten. When he called, his heart was just bursting with joy and love and enthusiasm....we were on cloud 9...well, we still ARE!! Wow....just one month left. Amazing!

YAAAAAAAAY!!!!!! Okay, I'm done feeling sorry for myself now LOL I got TWO letters, one of them was 4 full pages! LOL Oh he is still so very much my boy. LOL He sounds a bit more grown up and is doing well, but he has come to the conclusion that he should have listened to me more on that clothes folding stuff LOL. Oh...yeah, he hates snow. LOL Lots of other things too, but he did have a question for me. Do any of you have a son with initials N.A.? He said that he and N.A. (he did tell me his name), have become really good friends. :-) He said tons more..lots that made his sister and I laugh and cry...especially that he misses his little best friend (his nephew) so much...and that he's missing so many thing with him. :-(

I got my phone call this morning! Oh my gosh, I thought the darn letters were a gift. He sounded so great!! Everything seems to be going pretty good. He said the division is working better on most days than they had been. Battlestations will be the true test of how well they're working together. He chuckled at this....."Our RDC says we're the smartest group of dummies he's had in a long time...maybe ever!" LOL I hope you all get phone calls today!
