Thanks everyone for all the kind words. We live in the Chicago area. I'm sure that's why my letter arrived today. He said their division is accelerated so their is not much time to write. Also, I would love to get the ribbons or scarf. Let me know colors, etc.

So hoping for a letter this week; it seems forever since I've gotten one from daughter. I try to write her every couple of days and I'm sure it's not enough. I just messaged Lala to update the status of scarves/ribbons for our division so I can put in my order.....
