Becybec, I sent a questionnaire too...I got the responses back yesterday and cracked UP! One of the questions I alterred and asked if the yelling was as bad as mine? He said "it Depends" still has a sence of humor! Less than three weeks.. Go girls! Stil praying for Brett and all of those that are suffering from the storm! My son said some amazing things in his letter about learning the true meaning of respect and appreciaton! I was really wowed by his letter home this week.

As I sat down to post that I hoped that meant that 15 would get to call Gabe called.
It honestly couldn't have come at a better time. He sounded well. Got the highest on his first test they took a week or two ago. They took another one this past Friday but they haven't got there scores back. If I understood correctly, he scored the highest in his Division on the gun range. He sounded wonderful. My heart is beaming as is my face.
2 Sunday's left moms. 2 Sundays!
If they can do it, we can do it.
